Someone abruptly brought Wendy Williams to the hospital while she was pleading for help.
On Monday, March 10, authorities arrived at Williams’ assisted living facility to do a welfare check, according to a New York Police Department official. She was then led out of the facility, and EMS brought her to a nearby hospital “for evaluation.”
According to The New York Post, the 60-year-old former talk show host left a message outside her window earlier that morning. It supposedly said, “Help!” Wendy!!”
Williams has been living under a formal guardianship since May 2022, which monitors both her money and health. In recent months, she has been involved in a legal struggle with her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, who believes Williams is “cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated.”

“I’m not cognitively impaired, but I feel like I’m in prison,” Williams told The Breakfast Club in January. “I’m in this facility with folks in their 90s, 80s, and 70s, and there’s something wrong with these individuals on this floor. “I am obviously not.”
She went on to say that the institution, which she referred to as a “prison,” had closed elevators and restricted guests, and she is unable to come and go as she pleases. She further claimed that she is ignorant of what meds the institution is giving her.
According to a court file seen by PEOPLE, Morrissey demanded a “new medical evaluation” just hours after her radio program appearance.
She also said in a TubiTV documentary titled TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy Williams, which aired in February, that she couldn’t recall the last time she saw a medical practitioner following her 2023 dementia diagnosis.

“[It has been] a long while,” Williams remarked, claiming that she “couldn’t” even estimate a basic time range.
“I was in Connecticut for a year and didn’t see anyone. “I’ve been in here for six or seven months and haven’t seen anyone,” she said.
Williams provided an update on her situation during a feature on NewsNation’s Banfield.
“Well, I don’t have the freedom to do virtually anything,” she told me. “As for where I am, I am on the fifth floor. They call it ‘the memory unit,’ so it’s for those who can’t recall anything.”
“I’ve met the people who live here, and I’ve been here for almost a year now, and this is very suffocating,” she went on.
