Wendy Williams pleads for freedom from conservatorship in rare public sighting
Page Six • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Wendy Williams made her first public appearance since February, expressing a strong desire to end her court-ordered guardianship, stating, "I want out!" during an outing in New York City.
- Williams was placed under conservatorship in May 2022 after concerns were raised about her capacity to manage her affairs, following diagnoses including frontotemporal dementia and Graves’ disease.
- Despite initial diagnoses of frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, later tests in November 2025 cast doubt on the dementia diagnosis, complicating her legal and medical situation.
- Williams' ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, filed a $250 million lawsuit in June 2025 alleging abuse and neglect under the guardianship, while her legal team continues to seek termination of the conservatorship.
- The legal guardian, Sabrina E. Morrissey, must approve Williams' movements, and although Williams has publicly protested her situation, attempts to end the conservatorship have so far been unsuccessful.
