Wendy Williams’ former longtime producer Suzanne Bᴀss is speaking out about the embattled star’s controversial guardianship after reconnecting with her for the first time in years.

Bᴀss took to Instagram on Thursday to share an update on Williams, 60, who has been under court-appointed guardianship since 2022 following an alleged diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia.

In a short video filmed while walking her dog, Bᴀss didn’t hold back, calling Williams’ guardianship ‘horrible’ and ‘terrifying.’

‘I’m gonna be honest, I hadn’t heard from Wendy in years until last week,’ Bᴀss said in the clip. ‘My phone rang, and it was Wendy. I cried, she cried.’

Despite Williams’ legal and health battles, Bᴀss reᴀssured fans that the former talk show host ‘sounds fantastic’ and ‘the best she has sounded in years.’

However, Bᴀss revealed she has since been ‘learning every day’ about Williams’ ongoing struggles, saying, ‘this horrible guardianship she’s in… it is horrible and it’s terrifying. And so, #FreeWendy all the way, all day.’

The emotional update has reignited concern among fans, many of whom have long questioned the control over Williams’ affairs.

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

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. 

Last year, Bᴀss opeend up aboout her feeling of Williams makign a return to TV.   

In a short video filmed while walking her dog, Bᴀss didn’t hold back, calling Williams’ guardianship ‘horrible’ and ‘terrifying’ 

Bᴀss revealed she has since been ‘learning every day’ about Williams’ ongoing struggles, saying, ‘this horrible guardianship she’s in… it is horrible and it’s terrifying. And so, #FreeWendy all the way, all day’ 

Despite Williams’ legal and health battles, Bᴀss reᴀssured fans that the former talk show host ‘sounds fantastic’ and ‘the best she has sounded in years’ 

While reflecting on the ‘huge void in both daytime TV and pop culture’ since Williams’ long-running was canceled after 13 seasons in 2022, Bᴀss told People that it seems ‘impossible’ for the former broadcaster to make a ‘comeback’ to daytime television.

‘It makes me very sad,’ she confessed. ‘I do know it takes time to diagnose conditions like this… I’m saddened by it all.’

In addition to her own disappointment, she pointed out that ‘people are constantly saying, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if Wendy makes a comeback?”

‘I’m more sad about her health, not that she can’t make a comeback. To have this sort of diagnosis, there’s some finality to it,’ the Emmy Award-winning producer added.

Bᴀss recalled some instances and early signs that Williams was struggling during her talk show, which ran from 2008 to 2022. 

‘You can go back and see the show, and there’s really long periods of quietness where she’s not speaking,’ Bᴀss recalled. ‘And you’re thinking ‘What’s happening? There were early signs [of something wrong] where you’re grasping for words, having a hard time collecting your thoughts and remembering things. Maybe that’s what was happening back then.’ 

Since leaving the show, Bᴀss says she has only been in contact with Williams a few times since The Wendy Williams Show ended.

During their most recent conversations, Bᴀss said the best-selling author struggled to ‘remember things’ during their calls. 

‘The last few times I spoke with Wendy, I remember thinking that she reminded me of my mom,’ she said. ‘My mom has Alzheimer’s. Dementia is a form of it in her case.’
