Despite her 2023 diagnosis of frontotemporal demensia and aphasia, former TV talk show host Wendy Williams is now disputing claims of her ailing health and says she is being abused by her guardianship.
“I am not cognitively impaired,” Williams said while calling into iHeartRadio’s The Breakfast Club Thursday, adding that she wants to be released from the New York City care facility where she’s been living. “I feel like I’m in a prison.” (Go here to listen to the broadcast.)
The television star elaborated on the facility's strict security measures, revealing that her family is unable to reach her, and expressing that she feels as though she is being kept “captive.”
“For the past three years, I’ve celebrated my birthday alone,” she revealed. “This is a form of emotional abuse.” Williams’ niece, Alex Finnie, who also participated in the program, supported Williams’ statements, describing the facility as “a high-end prison.”
