Wendy Williams was spotted in public for the first time since the Guardian said she was “permanently incapacitated” due to dementia.
Wendy Williams, the former talk show host, was spotted out in public on December 15, sparking curiosity and conversation regarding her health. The 60-year-old was seen smiling and enjoying a day out in Fort Lauderdale, picking up an order from Sho’nuff Oysters while accompanied by her nephew, Travis Finnie. She looked lively, sporting bright red lipstick, an army green jacket, and accessories like bracelets and a large ring. The sighting comes after her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, publicly stated that Wendy had been “permanently incapacitated” due to early-onset dementia.
Fans expressed their support in the comments of the video, questioning the severity of the reports on her health. Many remarked that she didn’t appear to be “permanently incapacitated,” with one fan even speculating that Wendy looked “almost ready for her purple chair,” referring to her iconic role as a talk show host.
This comes after a legal battle where Morrissey’s legal team described Wendy’s condition as being in a state of cognitive decline due to early-onset dementia. The situation was further complicated by the release of Wendy’s Lifetime documentary, which her guardian tried to prevent, but the judge ruled that the documentary could be aired.
While the video doesn’t provide definitive information about Wendy’s health, it has brought a sense of relief to many fans who are glad to see her out and about, seemingly happy and spending time with her family.
