“She seems fine. She’s witty, and is getting healthier. It’s like old Wendy,” a source told Page Six.

Williams hit the town in NYC by dining at one of her favorite Italian restaurants, Tucci, on Saturday, where she and owner Max Tucci phoned us during dinner.

The former radio host even greeted Page Six with her signature, “How you doin’?” catch phrase.

“Do I sound like I have dementia to you?” she asked.

She certainly sounded like “the old Wendy,” as multiple sources continue and have previously described her.

A Post photographer caught up with Williams before she entered the restaurant, and she explained that her attorneys are “highly upset” with reports circulating about her health.

When asked if she had any words for her conservator, she quipped, “I want to say hi to my attorneys, Allan Diamond and Joe Tacopina.” Williams then added, “And I will get out of my guardianship.”

Insiders told us Williams has to be “extra careful” when speaking to cameras because, “she doesn’t want to jeopardize anything or suffer backlash [from the conservator]. That’s why it’s always, ‘talk to my lawyers,’” the source said.

“Her focus is she wants out. She wants an apartment in New York. She wants to be back in society. She wants to be able to go get bagels and lox, just the simple pleasures,” the insider shared.

“She wants to go to fashion week!” they added.

Williams also wants her makeup. (We hear beauty entrepreneur Laura Geller has been supplying her with lipstick and eyeliner).

Meanwhile, she has been getting her societal fix by frequenting old and new haunts like Fresco by Scotto, Tucci, and Delmonico’s — where she celebrated her 61st birthday last month.

Williams, who battles hyperthyroidism and Graves disease, has also been relying less on her scooter, we’re told. (Though she has been photographed with it.)

Additionally, she’s become more spiritual, we hear, attending Sunday church services in Brooklyn, which “she loves being a part of,” the source said.

Rev. Al Sharpton paid her a visit and prayed with her at her living facility, Page Six previously exclusively reported in April.

“She sounded like Wendy. She didn’t sound any different…[She] wanted me to try to help her,” Sharpton told us at the time.

Williams’ power attorney Tacopina further told us back then that “Her cognitive abilities are completely in tact.., She’s going to get out. We have resources. We have options.”

Our source also described Williams as “very optimistic” about the future.

“She’s looking forward to her freedom,” they said.

If Williams gets her way, she’ll be back to saying, “How you doin?” on her own terms by winter, insiders hope.

In the meantime, the witty chat pro will reportedly remain under her current conservatorship until at least November.


Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
