📢 Wendy Williams Breaks Silence After Assisted Living Facility Incident
Wendy Williams is making it clear—she is not incapacitated.
The former talk show queen, who has been at the center of a court-appointed guardianship battle, called in to The Breakfast Club on Tuesday to set the record straight about being removed from her assisted living facility and taken to a New York hospital.
The NYPD confirmed that officers responded to a welfare check at Williams’ residence.
But according to Wendy, what went down was much more than a routine check-in.
🏥 Why Was Wendy Williams Taken to the Hospital?
During the radio show, Williams and Ginalisa Monterroso—who works with Connect Care Advisory Group, an elder care advocacy organization—revealed that Wendy had been requesting an independent medical evaluation, something her guardianship had allegedly denied her.
Williams, diagnosed with dementia in 2023, has been living in an assisted living facility since that same year.
However, she argues that she does not belong in a memory care unit, where patients suffer from severe cognitive impairments.
“I told them, ‘I am not incapacitated,’” Wendy stated, explaining how she challenged both her placement and the control her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has over her life.
Monterroso revealed that she had contacted Adult Protective Services (APS) to investigate what she called “troubling circumstances” surrounding Williams’ care.
🚔 The Showdown That Led to Wendy’s Removal
Monterroso and Wendy orchestrated a bold move—calling the police to intervene.
NYPD officers arrived, spoke with Williams, and eventually called an ambulance to transport her to a hospital for an independent medical evaluation.
Once there, tensions escalated between Williams’ lawyer and Morrissey over whether Wendy would be allowed to undergo testing.
✅ Wendy Passes Cognitive Tests With Flying Colors
According to Monterroso, Wendy successfully answered all competency test questions, proving that she was capable of making her own decisions.
“She passed 10 out of 10 questions,” Monterroso emphasized, refuting claims that Williams is unable to handle her affairs.

The NYPD and APS are now investigating her case, and the world is watching closely to see what happens next for the beloved former daytime host.
