March 11, 2025, 02:00 AM PDT – Wendy Williams, once a daytime TV icon, was taken from her New York assisted living facility to a hospital on Monday after a welfare check triggered by a chilling note. The 60-year-old’s plea, “Help! Wendy!!,” tossed from her fifth-story window, prompted the NYPD to act, escorting her to an ambulance for evaluation. This incident has intensified scrutiny over her guardianship and health claims, as reported by PEOPLE.
The welfare check at 505 West 35th Street came after Williams’ note caught attention, with EMS quickly transporting her for assessment, a moment detailed in the NY Post. Her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has maintained since 2022 that Williams is “permanently incapacitated” due to her 2023 dementia diagnosis, a condition impacting cognitive functions and behavior. Williams, however, has pushed back. In a January Breakfast Club interview, she insisted, “I’m in this place with people in their 90s—there’s something wrong here, not with me,” calling her confinement a “prison,” a sentiment she echoed in a Fox News interview.
Producer Suzanne Bass recently shared news of Williams’ planned appearance on The View this Friday, calling her a “very special friend” on social media, as noted in USA TODAY. The incident also sparked investigations by the NYPD and Adult Protective Services into her care, adding fuel to her fight to end the guardianship she’s been under since 2022.
Williams’ struggle reflects a growing trend of guardianship disputes, with some questioning if her voice is being heard. A court filing last month noted Morrissey’s openness to a new medical evaluation, prompted by Williams’ public denials—a potential turning point. Her planned The View appearance adds urgency to resolving her status.
This case raises tough questions about autonomy and care. Will the evaluation clarify her condition or deepen the controversy? Follow her story for the latest updates.
