AceShowbiz - Positive news comes from Wendy Williams after she was taken to hospital amid struggle to regain her freedom from contentious guardianship. The former host of "The Wendy Williams Show" has aced her psych test.
Williams made headlines on Monday, March 10 when she was transported by ambulance to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City after allegedly throwing a handwritten note from her assisted living facility window, asking for help. Once at the hospital, Williams underwent a "capacity test" and scored a perfect 10 out of 10, according to TMZ.
The 10-question test, designed to evaluate mental alertness and orientation, has cast doubt on previous claims of Williams' deteriorating condition. Her court-appointed guardian had filed documents asserting that the 60-year-old was "cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and incapacitated" due to frontotemporal dementia - a diagnosis that Williams has publicly disputed.
"Help! Wendy!!" read the note that sparked the wellness check. Police sources told The Post that calls for the check came in at about 11:15 A.M. Soon after, Williams exited her fifth-story room with a police escort into a waiting ambulance.
The psychiatric assessment results will be sent to the judge overseeing her guardianship case, a move that might significantly influence the court's decision regarding her future independence.
In an interview with TMZ, Williams described her current living situation as a "prison" where she is not allowed to step outside freely. This sentiment is echoed by recent reports of an investigation by Adult Protective Services into her guardianship, further complicating the narrative woven by her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey.
Morrissey, who has managed Williams' affairs since 2022, has recently indicated she would be open to Williams undergoing a new medical evaluation.
As these developments unfold, the public remains captivated by Williams' battle for self-governance, eagerly awaiting the next turn in this high-stakes legal drama. Wendy Williams' fight to dissolve her guardianship has rallied her fans and spotlighted the complexities surrounding mental health diagnoses and individual rights.
