Wendy Williams is “permanently disabled,” TMZ reports

WASHINGTON, D.C – Wendy Williams is reportedly “permanently disabled” due to her battle with dementia, according to her guardian.

According to reports from TMZ, the former talk show and radio host’s guardian claims she “suffered from early-onset dementia and was cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated as a result.”

Williams was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia just a year after she was placed under guardianship, which oversees her health and finances.

Aphasia is a disorder that affects communication, including speaking, writing, and the ability to understand language.

Frontotemporal dementia, also known as FTD, is a progressive disorder that affects cognitive function and tends to result in behavioral, language, and dispositional changes.

This all happened just months after Williams was spotted for the first time in more than a year in August. A photo of her shopping at a holistic wellness store in New Jersey was shared on social media.

No word from her family on the recent news.
