Wendy Williams is once again making headlines as she speaks out about her current living situation under legal guardianship, expressing frustration and a desire for personal freedom. The 60-year-old former talk show host was placed under legal guardianship in 2022, following concerns about her health and financial well-being.
In 2023, her team publicly revealed that she had been diagnosed with dementia—raising further questions about her autonomy and public appearances. On Friday, March 21, Williams was spotted dining at Michael’s, a popular New York City restaurant, where she briefly spoke with Page Six. Dressed in a statement-making outfit and accompanied by her caregiver, Williams appeared upbeat but firm in her messaging.

“I am fabulous. I’m better than good, but have been accused [of] being otherwise,” she told the outlet. She then added pointedly, “I am very much alive. I deserve freedom, darling.” Williams declined to answer most questions about her guardianship, except for one light-hearted moment regarding her physical appearance.
“I got the liposuction and breast implants when I was 31. I’m 60 now and my body’s holding up well,” she quipped. When pressed about the specifics of her guardianship arrangement, her caretaker, Ginalisa Monterroso, offered only a cryptic response: “Don’t believe everything you read.”

This appearance comes less than two weeks after a concerning incident on March 10, when Williams was escorted by ambulance from her living facility to a nearby hospital. The emergency response was triggered after a handwritten note—allegedly dropped from her window—read, “Help! Wendy!!”

Following the incident, Williams addressed the public during an interview on Good Day New York, stating that she had undergone a mental competency evaluation at the hospital. “I passed with flying colors,” she said. She further emphasized that the “most important thing” to her right now is “getting out of guardianship.”
Williams, once the reigning queen of daytime TV, has seen her life take a dramatic turn in recent years. While supporters worry about her health, others champion her right to self-determination. Her public statements continue to raise questions about the transparency and conditions of her guardianship—and whether the courts may reconsider her autonomy in the near future.
