The View received raw testimony from Wendy Williams regarding her current state under her widely-discussed conservatorship, which began in 2022. Williams, who made an appearance on today’s episode of the show, was transported to a hospital on Monday (March 10) after residing in a memory care unit at an assisted living facility. During her appearance on The View today, she maintained the transfer occurred because she “needed a breath of fresh air.”
Following her hospital discharge on Wednesday (March 12), Williams informed The View she “was having a little agita” from her present living arrangements.
“I needed to see the doctors. So that’s why I went to the hospital … I also got blood drawn for my thyroid, but most importantly, being at the hospital, it was my choice to get an independent evaluation on my incapacitation — which, I don’t have it. How dare they say I have incapacitation? I do not,” she firmly told the panel.
A judge declared Williams “legally incapacitated” when initiating her conservatorship, with Sabrina Morrissey appointed as guardian. During this morning’s call with Williams, The View panelist Sunny Hostin recited a statement from Morrissey’s attorney, allowing the TV personality to respond in real-time.
Hostin shared that Williams’ “guardianship was created by a judge who declared you legally incapacitated after a diagnosis of frontal temporal dementia and says you have not been kept from your family, and you are receiving excellent medical care.”
Upon hearing these words, Williams offered her response.
“I’ve been doing important things all of my life,” she said. “These two people — they don’t look like me, they don’t dress like me, they don’t talk like me, they don’t act like me. And I venture to say, they will never be me. I need them to…get off my neck!” she declared, addressing both the judge behind her conservatorship and Morrissey, her guardian.
Williams has maintained a low profile recently, following her departure from The Wendy Williams Show in 2022. Her conservatorship became the focus of the 2024 Lifetime documentary Where Is Wendy Williams?, chronicling her life post-talk show.
Before her The View appearance today, Williams participated in a live phone conversation with Good Day New York, stating she passed mental competency tests “with flying colors.” Earlier this year, during an interview with The Breakfast Club radio show, she asserted she is “not cognitively impaired” and feels restricted under her guardianship.
