Despite ongoing legal battles that followed alarming diagnosis, Wendy Williams vehemently denies her diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, sparking a heated debate with her legal guardian.

AceShowbiz - Former talk show host Wendy Williams has vocally denied claims that she suffers from frontotemporal dementia, a diagnosis asserted by her medical team and legal guardian. The feud over her health status has escalated, leading Sabrina Morrissey, her court-appointed guardian, to request a new medical evaluation to clarify Williams' cognitive condition.

Williams, 60, made her stance clear during a recent interview on "The Breakfast Club," stating, "I don't have frontotemporal dementia…it's disgusting. That's a very rare thing for anybody to have. I'm not incapacitated. I am not a baby."

Her repeated denials have prompted Morrissey to take legal steps to ensure transparency and accuracy regarding Williams' health.

Morrissey's recent court filings indicate that doctors from Weill Cornell Medical Center diagnosed Williams with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and primary progressive aphasia (PPA).

These conditions, according to medical experts, are irreversible and typically worsen over time. Morrissey is advocating for a comprehensive neurological and psychological evaluation by a specialist to verify the former TV host's current state.

Beyond the medical aspect, the dispute has also influenced ongoing litigation against A&E Television Networks and Lifetime Entertainment. Williams contradicted the stance taken by her guardian in the A&E lawsuit over the documentary "Where Is Wendy Williams?" which she feels portrays her in an undignified manner.

"I've worked with Lifetime several times. Enough that I would love to do something with Lifetime again. They are good people to me and I am good people to them," Williams stated in her interview.

Morrissey remains skeptical about any change in Williams' condition resulting from a new evaluation, emphasizing that if the results do indicate capacity, she would not continue the litigation against A&E.

"The Guardian has no interest in pursuing litigation in the extremely unlikely event that the new medical examination finds that [Wendy] somehow now has the mental capacity to direct the A&E matter," she noted.

The situation has left Williams feeling isolated and emotionally distressed. In a conversation with Don Lemon earlier this year, she described her life as "like a luxury prison," expressing that she felt "trapped" and "isolated" in her current guardianship arrangement.

As the debate over her cognitive health continues, Williams and Morrissey appear to be locked in an ongoing struggle that will likely only be resolved with a new, comprehensive medical evaluation.
