Wendy Williams hospitalized—This headline has left fans deeply concerned. The iconic TV personality was rushed to the hospital following a distressing incident at her New York assisted living facility. She reportedly threw a handwritten note from her fifth-floor window that read, “Help! Wendy!!” This prompted a wellness check by authorities.
Here’s why Wendy Williams was taken to hospital
Wendy Williams, who stepped away from her long-running talk show in 2021 due to health issues, has faced numerous challenges in recent years. In 2023, she was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, conditions that have profoundly affected her life. Since May 2022, she has been under court-ordered guardianship, which oversees her finances and medical care.
The incident that led to Wendy Williams’ hospitalization occurred on Monday when she tossed the note from her window, immediately drawing attention. Police arrived at the scene around 11:15 AM. Later, Williams was seen waving her arms from the window while speaking on the phone. She was then escorted by officers to an ambulance and taken to a hospital for evaluation.
Wendy Williams has been vocal about her dissatisfaction with the guardianship arrangement. She has described it as “emotional abuse” and akin to being in “prison.” Earlier this year, she called into The Breakfast Club and expressed her frustration, saying, “I am not cognitively impaired, you know what I’m saying? But I feel like I’m in prison.”
Despite her objections, the court has deemed Williams ‘legally incapacitated’ based on medical evaluations and observations conducted over the past two years. Legal representatives for her guardian have denied claims of isolation, stating that Williams is free to leave the facility for outings and is receiving appropriate care.
Fans have also rallied behind the host, flooding social media with messages of support and concern. With Wendy Williams hospitalized, the focus now shifts to her upcoming re-evaluation.
