For well over a decade, viewers tuned in to watch radio and television personality Wendy Williams host the nationally syndicated "Wendy Williams Show."

However, it is unlikely that Williams will ever appear on air again, as a new report states that she has become permanently incapacitated. 

Court documents say former host is afflicted with aphasia and dementia

According to the New York Post, Williams is suffering from aggressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, two conditions which also afflict fellow celebrity Bruce Willis.

That information was presented in a court filing submitted earlier this month by Sabrina Morrissey, who serves as Williams' guardian.

The Post noted that Morrissey's court-ordered guardianship over Williams began in May of 2022 after the star's financial institution, Wells Fargo, found her to be "incapacitated."

Morrissey has filed a lawsuit against the Lifetime television network A&E Television Networks, Lifetime Entertainment Services, EOne Productions, Creature Films, along with executive producer Mark Ford.

Lawsuit claims defendants "cruelly took advantage" of Williams' condition

At issue is a documentary which Lifetime aired this past February called "Where is Wendy Williams?" Morrissey's lawsuit maintains that the defendants "cruelly took advantage of [Williams'] cognitive and physical decline."

This was allegedly done by "by creating and publishing a documentary at a time when [Williams] was highly vulnerable and clearly incapable of consenting to be filmed."

What's more, Morrissey also contends that the film's producers "intentionally manipulated and goaded" Williams so as to acquire embarrassing footage by eliciting "strong emotional reactions."

For their part, the defendants counter that Morrissey's lawsuit is part of "misguided efforts to attempt to excuse her own failure to protect her ward."

What's more, they insist that Williams provided "input" on the documentary and consented to participating in it while she was still cognitively sound.

Williams entered rehab program two years ago for alcohol and cocaine addiction

The Post recalled how Williams' health has been in decline for some time, with the 60-year-old former media figure struggling with Graves' disease and lymphedema.

Williams has also had a years-long struggle with substance abuse, a fact which Page Six covered in an article published two years ago.

It detailed how Williams was pressured by her production company to enter a rehab program for cocaine and alcohol addiction, something which she had done multiple times in the past.
