New York, March 11, 2025 — Television personality Wendy Williams has achieved a significant victory in her ongoing legal battle, as a recent psychiatric evaluation has declared her mentally competent with a perfect score. The results, reported by TMZ and shared on X by Pop Tingz, indicate that Williams answered all questions correctly, affirming her full mental capacity. This development could lead to the termination of the conservatorship she has been under since May 2022.
The evaluation, conducted on Monday, marks a stark contrast to the claims of Williams’ court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, who has argued that the former talk show host’s condition—diagnosed as frontotemporal dementia—is deteriorating. Williams, however, has publicly disputed this diagnosis, maintaining that she is not cognitively impaired. The positive outcome of the capacity test is now set to be reviewed by the judge overseeing her guardianship case, potentially granting Williams greater autonomy over her health and finances.
Williams, known for her long-running daytime talk show The Wendy Williams Show, has faced significant health challenges in recent years, including a 2023 diagnosis of aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. Her struggles were further highlighted in the 2024 docuseries Where Is Wendy Williams?, which depicted her battling alcohol abuse and living under strict guardianship. In recent public statements, she has described her assisted living situation as “prison-like,” prompting visits from NYPD officers to ensure her well-being.
The news has sparked varied reactions on social media, with fans expressing hope for Williams’ independence while others remain cautious about her health claims. “This is a huge step for Wendy. She deserves to live her life on her terms,” tweeted one supporter. However, legal experts note that the judge will weigh multiple factors, including Williams’ disputed dementia diagnosis, before making a final decision.
As the case progresses, Williams’ journey continues to captivate the public, blending celebrity intrigue with broader conversations about mental health, autonomy, and conservatorship in the spotlight.
