Wendy Williams was in a jovial mood as she waved from the window of her ᴀssisted living facility in NYC this week, amid her ongoing guardianship battle.

The former host, 60, who was appointed a court-ordered guardian in 2022 after she was allegedly diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia, smiled as she looked down on the city from her home.

The star looked glamorous in a white blouse paired with red lipstick during the rare sighting at the facility. 

This comes shortly after she revealed she has been outside only twice in 30 days amid her guardianship. 

Last year, her care team revealed her diagnosis; however, Williams has vehemently disputed that she has dementia. 

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Williams is battling to end her guardianship and has signed an affidavit asking a judge to end the arrangement, according to TMZ.

Her court-ordered guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has been in charge of her well-being and finances since 2022. 

Sources told the outlet that she will be reevaluated by a doctor, who was picked by her legal team, next Tuesday to determine if she has ‘regained [the] capacity’ to function without her guardian.

Insiders also told the outlet that her legal team — private counsel she hired to end her guardianship after firing her court-appointed attorney last month — will reportedly file an emergency order to force a judge to look into ending the guardianship. 

Details about how Williams  – who was seen showing off a fresh new look in Miami on Sunday – came to have so little freedom of movement at her ᴀssisted-living facility recently came to light.

Sources claimed to TMZ on Monday that she had been moved to a more restrictive memory unit at the facility after she allegedly got drunk at a restaurant on the premises.

DailyMail.com has attempted to reach Williams’ guardian for comment. 

TMZ had reported on the circumstances in which Wendy was allegedly moved to a more restrictive part of her ᴀssisted-living facility, which may have contributed to her lack of trips outside of the building.

According to an employee who is described as having had many interactions with Wendy since her arrival, she initially was given a room on the building’s third floor, where residents are allowed to come and go as they please.

However, things went south early on in her tenure when she went up to the restaurant and bar located on the facility’s top floor for an extended lunch. 

According to the employee, Wendy ordered several alcoholic drinks and was noticeably drunk for a significant amount of time. 

The facility supervisors allegedly learned of the drunken escapade and were upset that she was served, as she has reportedly had issues with problem drinking in the past. 

In response to the drunken lunch, Wendy was allegedly relocated to a new room on the memory unit on the facility’s fifth floor. 

Because many of the occupants there suffer from dementia and other memory issues, they aren’t able to use the elevator on their own. 

The new location meant Wendy was prohibited from going up to the restaurant and drinking, though it’s unclear if she is not supposed to leave the floor at all or if she can venture out with someone supervising.

However, there was a hiccup with the reᴀssignment, as the memory unit didn’t have any open rooms, so Wendy was allegedly forced to stay in her third-floor room while employees guarded the door and prevented her from leaving.

Sources claimed to TMZ on Monday that the former chat show host had been moved to a more restrictive memory unit at the facility after she allegedly got drunk at a restaurant on the premises

According to the insider, employees at the facility lied to the talk show host and told her that the restaurant was closed for renovations, despite it apparently being open the entire time. 

After a few days a room reportedly opened up and she was able to be moved to the fifth floor, where she has remained ever since. 

The confinement and alleged falsehoods fed to Wendy are concerning, as the employee claims that her memory is not suffering. 

‘Wendy doesn’t have good and bad days. She’s the same all the time,’ they claimed to TMZ. 

‘You can tell her something today and two weeks later she’ll remember it. Her memory is fine.’ 

On Wednesday, Wendy signed an affidavit in which she asked the judge overseeing her guardianship case to end the arrangement, TMZ reported.

In the legally binding document, Williams reportedly said she has ‘regained capacity’ to function independently, and she said she no longer requires a guardian to oversee her.

She has a guardianship overseen by Sabrina Morrissey, which was insтιтuted in 2022.

She still has several steps ahead of her before she can end the guardianship, however, and the judge will ultimately need to be swayed by her if she hopes to regain her freedom.

In order to do that, Williams will next attempt to prove that she does not have frontotemporal dementia, contrary to how doctors had previously diagnosed her.

She averred in her affidavit that she was not suffering from the neurological condition, and sources told TMZ that she will be seeing a doctor on Tuesday for a new evaluation to hopefully confirm as much.

Notably, frontotemporal dementia is a permanent and progressive condition, so the former Wendy Williams Show host hopes that her apparent improvement in functioning will indicate that she couldn’t be suffering from the disease.

Williams recently hired a new attorney to help her end the guardianship, and they were responsible for selecting the new doctor she will be seeing. 

According to the publications sources, her attorney plans to file an Emergency Order to Show Cause the day after the testing, which should force the judge to weigh in on ending the guardianship.

She’s hoping the judge will agree and end things then and there, but if they deny the request and keep the guardianship as its currently consтιтuted, Williams will allegedly request that her case go before a jury who can determine if she’s able to care for herself and run her own finances without the need of a guardian figure. 

Williams recently delved into the circumstances that she believes led to her being placed under a guardianship during a recent chat with TMZ.

In an appearance on its 2 Angry Men podcast, she revealed that she planned to travel down to Miami over the weekend — where several of her family members live — to celebrate her father’s 94th birthday.

The trip represents the first time in months she’ll be able to spend time with family, but it will also mark a reunion with her son Kevin Hunter Jr.

Williams also revealed to TMZ that she will see her son Kevin Hunter Jr. (pictured with her in 2019 in Hollywood) when she’s allowed to travel to Miami over the weekend for her father’s 94th birthday

Williams had previously revealed that her guardianship was kicked off after her bank, Wells Fargo, reported that several large withdrawals had been made from her account, seemingly without her authorization.

She has claimed that her son Kevin and others made the withdrawals, though it’s unclear if she thinks he was working with others to take her money.

For his part, her son has denied any wrongdoing.

‘My son, he overstepped his boundaries,’ Williams claimed in a video interview filmed from her window for the publication’s new documentary Saving Wendy. ‘He was inappropriately using my money without telling me crap about it.’

She said the alleged action caused the bank to freeze her account, which stopped any potential stealing, but it also left her without any access to her money.

When asked who was ‘influencing’ her financially, Williams began to cry and said, ‘My son is a really good person.

‘But at this point, he is a horrible person to me,’ she continued.

Williams went on to allege that ‘other people’ might have been influencing her son and spending time with him at her apartment in Miami.

Williams has accused her son Kevin of making large, unauthorized transactions, which caused Wells Fargo to freeze her accounts and led the guardianship to be insтιтuted. He has denied any impropriety

She mentioned a fishy transaction in which Kevin allegedly tried to rent a $1,500 boat, but instead rented one for $130K, which he blamed on the bank. Williams accused unnamed other people of influencing him as well; pictured in Lifetime’s Where Is Wendy Williams documentary

She mentioned a fishy transaction in which Kevin had allegedly wanted to rent a boat for around $1,500, before alleged renting on for $130,000, according to Wells Fargo, which he allegedly blamed on the bank, though his mother didn’t buy that explanation.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, the judge overseeing Williams case said in September 2024 that, ‘While Mr. Hunter, [her son, Kevin] apologized for past mistakes and inappropriate behavior, the court is not convinced that he can keep her safe and wouldn’t willingly or unwittingly expose her to financial exploitation.’ 

Williams noted that she would be seeing her son at her father’s birthday — ᴀssuming he shows up. 

‘I will see him at a particular place, at a particular location. I don’t want to say too much,’ she said, though she didn’t care to say more about their current relationship.
