Wendy Williams reportedly does not have the medical condition a judge has cited to keep her in a guardianship for over three years.
Sources told TMZ that the 61-year-old former talk show host recently underwent a series of tests in New York City with a top neurologist, who concluded that Williams does not have frontotemporal dementia.
The neurologist reportedly provided these results to Wendy's legal team late last month, which seemingly contradict an earlier test that her guardian claimed showed she had the condition.
According to TMZ, multiple experts have explained that frontotemporal dementia "never gets better - only worse," yet Williams has shown remarkable neurological resilience since becoming clean and sober three years ago, though she remains under guardianship.
The outlet was also told that Williams' legal team will file documents with the court in the next two weeks to request a hearing to terminate the guardianship. If the judge refuses, powerhouse lawyer Joe Tacopina, whose past clients include ASAP Rocky and Donald Trump, will seek a jury trial and ask jurors to free Wendy.
“It’s just so unjust, and quite despicable,” said Tacopina in August about his client’s guardianship, per Extra. “What she said to me… more than once, is, ‘Joe, I wish I weren’t in this situation… but if someone is going to be in this situation, better me with a platform, so I can expose the system.’”
Last month, a judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by Williams' ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, in which he sought to challenge her guardianship. He had originally filed a $250 million federal lawsuit in June, claiming that Williams' court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, was exploiting her, and sought to serve as her "next friend" to legally act on her behalf.
After a hearing on October 9, Judge Margaret M. Garnett ruled that Hunter cannot act on Williams' behalf or file lawsuits in her name. The decision allows him to refile the case, but only for himself, not as a representative of Williams.
