Comedian and TV host Wendy Williams, 60, threw a handwritten note out of the window after accusing the care facility she was staying at of being a prison.
On the morning of March 10, Wendy Williams stood behind a fifth-floor window at a care facility in New York, waved to paparazzi, then threw down a note that read: "Help! Wendy." Shortly after, police were called, and an ambulance was called to take Wendy from the facility to Lennox Hill Hospital.
According to TMZ, a psychiatrist at the hospital determined that Wendy Williams' mental capacity was fine. She took a psychological test called the "Ability Test" and scored a perfect 10/10. The test, which is often used to assess the likelihood of dementia in the elderly, consists of 10 questions about birth date, address, and who the current president is. Each correct answer is worth one point. A score of 6 or lower may indicate that the patient is suffering from dementia or delirium.
Wendy Williams is under a court-ordered conservatorship after being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023. She has disputed the diagnosis and is seeking to end the conservatorship. The results of the competency test will be sent to the judge in Williams' conservatorship case.
Her court-appointed conservator, Sabrina Morrissey, has claimed in court documents that Williams suffers from cognitive impairment, permanent disability and incapacity due to dementia. However, Williams has maintained that she is conscious and recently said she is "confined" and "not allowed" to leave the house.
Last month, Wendy Williams was seen leaning against a window sobbing during a live phone interview with TMZ's Harvey Levin. The TV star told Harvey that she felt like a prisoner there, with only two outings in 30 days, no internet, and no visitors allowed.
In an interview on The Breakfast Club radio show in January, Wendy Williams insisted that she was not mentally impaired and accused the conservatorship of abuse. Wendy's niece, Alex Finni, also appeared on the show and spoke out in defense of the 60-year-old star.
