claims that she isn’t suffering from dementia. Morrissey, who has been in charge of Williams’ care and finances since May 2022, informed the judge she wants to be transparent about Wendy’s condition and believes it “would be prudent for [Wendy] to undergo a new medical evaluation that will involve comprehensive neurological and psychological testing by a specialist in the field,” reported TMZ on Wednesday citing a letter from the guardian’s attorney.Morrissey reportedly informed the judge about “The Wendy Williams Show” alum’s recent interviews with “The Breakfast Club” and others, in which she declared she was “not cognitively impaired” and did not have frontotemporal dementia, despite her “care team” announcing her diagnosis in 2023.
