Popular media personality Wendy Williams has revealed her recent diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia as well as aphasia, as announced by her team on Thursday morning. The former "Wendy Williams Show" host, aged 59, underwent a series of tests in 2023 after experiencing memory issues and difficulty with word recall, leading doctors to identify the neurodegenerative diseases as the cause.

A press release shared that Wendy Williams is currently in a treatment facility where she is receiving necessary care and support. Despite the challenges she is facing, she continues to maintain her sense of humor and independence, with the statement emphasizing that she is still capable of handling many tasks on her own.

The disclosure of Williams' health conditions coincides with the upcoming release of a Lifetime documentary titled "Where Is Wendy Williams?" which will shed light on her deteriorating health and struggles with alcoholism, factors that ultimately led to her being placed under a court-ordered guardianship in 2022. The documentary, executive produced by Williams herself and spanning two parts, delves into her journey through these challenges over the past few years.

Fans first became concerned about Wendy Williams' well-being when she collapsed during a live broadcast of her talk show in 2017. Subsequent revelations about her health battles, including Graves' Disease, Lymphedema, and alcoholism, have been public knowledge, with her son sharing insights into his mother's addiction issues and the impact they have had on her.

Despite her resistance to the financial guardian appointed by the court, Williams remains under guardianship and expressed deep emotions in a trailer for the documentary regarding her financial struggles. The candid portrayal of her personal battles in the forthcoming film aims to raise awareness about aphasia, frontotemporal dementia, and the complexities of managing one's health and well-being in the public eye.
