Wendy Williams’ doctors walk back frontotemporal dementia diagnosis nearly 2 years later

Wendy Williams does not have frontotemporal dementia, according to a top neurologist.

Sources told TMZ that the former talk show host completed a series of tests issued by a New York City-based medical doctor.

The findings reportedly conflict with an earlier test that determined she suffers from frontotemporal dementia, which is a group of brain diseases that mainly affect the frontal and temporal lobes that are associated with personality, behavior and language, per Mayo Clinic.

The newer results from the neurologist were sent to Williams’ legal team late last month, per the outlet.

TMZ reports that Williams’ lawyers will file legal docs with the court and they are hopeful the new results will influence a judge to terminate the former radio host’s guardianship.

Page Six has reached out to Williams’ lawyer for comment but did not immediately hear back.

In February 2024, the former “Wendy Williams Show” host’s team announced she was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, as well as aphasia.

Williams, who is also battling Graves’ disease and lymphedema, underwent testing in 2023 after her memory started to fail.

She began to “lose words” and “act erratically,” according to a press release.

At the time of her diagnosis, the “Dancing with the Stars” alum, 61, was in an undisclosed treatment center — where her family claims they were unable to reach her.

In 2022, Williams was placed under court-ordered guardianship after her bank, Wells Fargo, sent a letter to New York Supreme Court Judge Arlene Bluth requesting a hearing about her well-being.

An attorney for the financial institution wrote that they had “strong reason to believe” Williams was a “victim of undue influence and financial exploitation.”

In June, Williams’ second ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, filed a $250 million lawsuit seeking to end her conservatorship.

In the suit, the television producer, 53, claimed the guardianship under Sabrina Morrissey had “become a weapon, not a shield.”

“Ms. Hunter, [is] being abused, neglected, and defrauded under the care of court-appointed guardians. The guardianship … serves no therapeutic purpose, no protective function. It is punishment—pure and simple,” the court docs read.

Hunter also claimed in the suit that his ex-wife was being “confined against her will at one of Coterie’s assisted living facilities with restricted access to her own phone and meaningful contact with her friends and family.”
