Wendy Williams seen crying from an assisted living facility while giving an interview to TMZ, says she has only been outside twice in 30 days.
Williams was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and was moved to an assisted living facility by family.
Williams, 60, is fighting a court-ordered guardianship and is pleading to have her life back.

“I am not allowed to go out. I can call you, but you can’t call me.”
“This system has failed from top to bottom regarding this guardianship and everybody involved with that. The system failed. I want my freedom back.”
Williams recently had a falling out with her son after he allegedly exploited her for financial gain.
“My son, he overstepped his boundaries in terms of me. He overstepped his boundaries and he was inappropriately using my money without telling me crap about it.”

Funny how quickly they locked her up but old Joe wandered loose for 4 years.

I’ve wondered if she was being secretly medicated to cause these symptoms.
It just all seemed so sudden and strange
Whatever the truth is- I liked her and hope she is safe.

Who is Wendy Williams?

I said it once and will say it again
Wendy Williams has primary progressive aphasia as a result of developing dementia. This is a commonly seen communication disorder as the brain deteriorates. Excessive drinking and drug abuse can speed up the progression of neurodegenerative disorders such as dementia, which Wendy is no stranger to. There’s no conspiracy against her, she just got dealt a bad deck.
I’ve worked with aphasics, life is very, very difficult for them. PPA is especially nasty, as since it is a comorbidity of dementia, there’s no “getting better”, speech therapy just works to maintain any crucial communication abilities at that point.

Wendy Williams is a [horrible person](https://youtu.be/du1UViOs4Hk?si=8zPaJMnPdERMQsNK), but I would be sad if I couldn’t communicate with my loved ones either
