In a significant turn of events, former talk-show host Wendy Williams has publicly revealed her successful performance on a cognitive test, scoring a perfect “10 out of 10” at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. This revelation follows a welfare check that led to her removal from a memory care unit, where she had been residing. Williams shared these details during an interview on “The Breakfast Club.”

Williams, who has been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, disputes these diagnoses. She expressed her frustration, stating, “I told them I am not incapacitated as I’ve been accused, and the floor that I live on is the memory unit. The people who live there don’t remember anything, unlike me. Why am I here? What is going on? It’s a cry for help.”

The results of this cognitive test are expected to play a pivotal role in Williams’ ongoing guardianship case. Currently, all aspects of her life, including financial and living arrangements, are decided by court-appointed guardian Sabrina Morrissey. The guardianship was initiated following claims by Wells Fargo that Williams was “the victim of undue influence and financial exploitation.” This situation has been further complicated by allegations of financial mismanagement involving her son, Kevin Hunter Jr.

Williams’ recent travels to Miami to celebrate her 94-year-old father’s birthday highlight her determination to maintain her independence and connection with family. She remarked, “Here at the hospital, believe it or not, I’ve met so many beautiful people. We talk about this, and we talk about that, and yes they know who I am. It’s really kind of amazing.”
