Things have been all quiet on the Wendy Williams front as of late. But that all changed on Tuesday thanks to a new update about her health and the pending lawsuit her guardian Sabrina Morrissey has against the A+E network.

As we previously reported, in March, Williams was transported to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City to undergo a second medical evaluation to determine whether or not she is mentally incapacitated. A day later, it was reported that the former daytime talk show host passed her evaluation, called a “capacity test,” and scored a 10 out of 10. The test reportedly called for the popular host to answer 10 questions that signaled that she was alert and and mentally together.
Yet now it looks another medical evaluation of Williams’ mental capacity has added an additional complexity. According to documents obtained by TMZ, “medical specialists have formed an opinion concerning [Wendy’s] current neurological condition and diagnosis, including whether she has the ability to make decisions.”
By “decisions,” the medical professionals are specifically referencing the ongoing litigation between Williams’ guardian and the aforementioned network.
For context, Morrissey filed a lawsuit accusing producers of the polarizing Lifetime “Where Is Wendy Williams?” documentary of filming it without her consent. She also alleged that the project was originally supposed to follow the former talk show host’s comeback attempt, but exploited her health battles instead.
As a result, Lifetime’s parent company, A+E Networks legally clapped back and claimed that Morrissey exceeded “her authority by trying to get parts of the documentary changed and redacted,” because Williams “signed a talent agreement long before she was mentally incapacitated.”
The network also countersued Morrissey, claiming that her lawsuit to stop the doc from airing infringed upon its First Amendment rights. The company is alleging that she’s trying to take away “one of [Williams’] last chances to exercise her autonomy and honestly reach her fans in exactly the frank and unfiltered manner that was the hallmark of her career.”
Now, however, after Williams’ latest medical evaluation, Morrissey is asking the courts to wait three months so the guardianship court can hopefully make a ruling on the status of the her client’s guardianship. TMZ also noted that A+ E agreed to the three month delay but requested an “early deposition of Wendy scheduled due to their concerns over her ‘purported progressive neurological disease.’
As you well know by now the whole point of the guardianship hinges on prior claims that Williams was “cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and incapacitated.” Hopefully, with these new evaluations, there can be a final resolve to this whole thing sooner rather than later.
