Former talk show host Wendy Williams, 59, has revealed that she has been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in 2023, according to a press release from her medical team. Primary progressive aphasia is a form of frontotemporal dementia that slowly impairs language capabilities due to the deterioration of brain tissue. Frontotemporal dementia is the most common form of dementia for individuals under 60 and currently has no known cure. Williams, known for hosting "The Wendy Williams Show," has been open about her health struggles in the past, which also included Graves' disease and a thyroid condition.

Despite her recent health challenges, Williams is still able to maintain her sense of humor and independence. The decision to share her diagnoses was made in order to raise awareness about aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, and to advocate for understanding and compassion for those facing similar circumstances. Williams' niece, Alex Finnie, shared that Williams will be releasing a documentary titled "Where Is Wendy Williams?" premiering on February 24, which will provide a raw and unfiltered look into Williams' recent life struggles and her journey to resurrect her career.
