Wendy Williams’ attorney defended the decision to have her in a guardianship after the former talk show host plead for her freedom.

After Williams, 60, called into The Breakfast Club radio show and insisted she is not ‘cognitively impaired,’ her attorney Roberta Kaplan stated otherwise, per TMZ.

She explained that Williams is dealing with frontal lobe dementia and emphasized that it is a neurological disease with no cure. 

Her attorney — who said she is only representing Williams in her lawsuit against A&E for producing the documentary, Where Is Wendy Williams? — also explained that a state court declared Williams is unable to make legal and financial decisions on her own.

This comes after Williams was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in May 2023. 

Her attorney said she will require care for the rest of her life due to the degenerative nature of the disease.

Kaplan also said that Williams has bad days and she also has good days when she has a lot of clarify, like when she called into The Breakfast Club on Thursday morning. 

On the morning radio show, Williams told co-host Charlamagne tha God about how she felt like she was imprisoned due to her controversial guardianship and said her life is ‘f***ed up.’ 

She also slammed her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, during the call and claimed she has been isolated from her family. 

Due to the guardianship court order, Morrissey is prohibited from commenting on the story. 

Williams also alleged that the consistent interactions she has anymore are when her ‘nursemaids’ give her her medication. 

Previously, Williams’ niece Alex also claimed that she is not impaired and asked fans to help amplify the #FreeWendy movement.

During the show, the former shock jock sobbed as she described her current situation as ’emotional abuse.’ 

‘I am not cognitively impaired, but I feel like I am in prison,’ she told the radio show hosts. ‘I am definitely isolated.’

She added: ‘To talk to these people who live here, that is not my cup of tea. I keep the door closed.’ 

The television personality described the stark nature of her daily life after being put under the guardianship. 

‘I watch TV. I listen to the radio. I watch the window. I sit here, and my life goes by.’

She said that she no longer has the company of her pet cats, claiming that they are ‘gone’ and had been taken away even though she ‘wanted them with her.’ 

The TV star revealed that she ultimately hopes to move to Florida so she can live there with her family.

For now the star is just focused on being able to travel out to Miami next month in order to celebrate her beloved dad’s birthday.

In an Instagram post before the interview took place, Charlamagne penned a caption about conservatorships and guardianships, which he insisted are ‘designed to preserve dignity’ and ‘not control.’

‘Conservatorships and guardianships should exist to empower, protect and support individuals — not to confine them in invisible prisons,’ the talk show host wrote.

‘Tomorrow morning on @breakfastclubam #WendyWilliams will remind us that these systems must be transparent, compᴀssionate, and designed to preserve dignity, not control. Let’s discuss.’
