Wendy Williams ‘Breakfast Club’ interview asks new medical tests

On February 13, 2025By Littum

The Guardian for Television -host Wendy Williams requests a new medical test.

Williams, diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia in 2023, recently appeared at the “Breakfast Club” to insist that her current care level was suffocating and unnecessary.

Attorneys for Sabrina Morrissey, Williams’ court -appointed Guardian, apparently responded to these comments in a letter sent to a Judge in New York and obtained by USA Today Wednesday and called for a new test round to ensure the correct diagnosis.

Given that William’s “has now repeatedly declared publicly that she disagrees” with her diagnosis, as Morrissey said is “not uncommon for patients with FTD who have reduced attention, even though their own weakenings,” Morrissey “believes” ” that it would be careful for (Williams) to undergo a new medical evaluation that will involve extensive neurological and psychological testing of a specialist in the field, ”the archiving reads.

Frontotemporal dementia is the overall expression used to describe a collection of brain disease associated with the frontal and temporal lobes that affect language, personality and behavior, According to the Mayo Clinic.

“The question of whether (Williams) has the capacity to assess what is in her own interests deserves renewed careful consideration of qualified experts and should not be left to careless speculation in tabloids, radio or on the Internet,” archiving.

The letter is the latest in a legal battle between Morrissey and A+E Networks during the Lifetime documentary “Where If Wendy Williams?” In which Morrissey has claimed that Williams was unable to consent to be filmed.

In her “breakfast club” interview, Williams and her Niese Alex Finnie insisted that she “was not cognitively weakened” and that her conservatory constituted “emotional abuse.”

“I feel like I’m in prison,” she told the hosts of the radio program. “I’m in this place where the people are in the 90s and 80s and their 70s. There’s something wrong with these people here on this floor.”

Finnie, who also pushed doubts around Williams’ level of disability, said the conservatory’s system was broken and easily abused by people hoping to take advantage of the wealthy and vulnerable.

“(Williams) has not had, from what I understand, a medical evaluation to see if her rights can be restored,” Finnie said. “And it seems that instead of this guardian, Sabrina, who works with her, it seems that she has made it difficult in what way for my aunt to live some kind of healthy, independent life. “

Now Morrissey is calling for just that. She also offers to put the legal action against A&E until the results are in, arguing against Williams’ claims of “The Breakfast Club” that the trial is draining her funds.

“To be clear is the whole point of the A&E case in favor of (Williams) and her property,” said the letter, noticing Morrissey “the A&E case for a reason: to recover significant monetary damage in favor of (Williams) which could be used to help pay for (Williams) significant health needs in the future.

On the radio, Williams seemed to award the trial more to Morrissey than herself and even say that she could work again with Lifetime, which co-produced the project.

“I’ve worked with longevity several times,” she said. “Enough that I would love to do something with life again. They are good people for me and I am good people for them.”

Both A&E -TV networks and entertainment services have denied any wrongdoing. In a counterclaim, companies claimed that Morrissey’s lawsuit against them was asked for the desire to protect his own image.

“It was only when Morrissey realized that the documentary would question the quality of her own guardianship of (Williams) that Morrissey suddenly decided to try to make sure the documentary would never be released,” the document states.

The companies also said in their counterclaim that their documents showed how Williams ‘guardianship “isolated her from her family, left her largely alone and unattended in her apartment, worsened her self -destructive behavior and mental decline and failed to prevent (Williams’) Use and/or abuse of alcohol.

These claims were repeated by Finnie at “Breakfast Club.” “They don’t allow you to leave or have visitors,” she said. “So you can’t even leave and take a walk if you wanted to, or take a walk or visit family members.”

In Wednesday’s letter, Morrisse’s legal team confirmed that she had “no interest” in further pursuing the legal issue against A&E in the “extremely unlikely event” that a new medical study reveals that Williams is capable of leading the matter itself.
