Wendy Williams, 60, rides mobility scooter in rare outing after guardianship controversy
They travelled to their father's birthday party.
Wendy Williams was seen riding a mobility scooter in a rare public appearance since retreating from the spotlight after being diagnosed with dementia.
The talk show icon, 60, arrived at Miami International Airport yesterday to attend her father’s birthday and travelled through the terminal on the scooter holding a black bag with labels that read ‘NYC’ and ‘High Maintenance.’
It comes weeks after her family started a $50,000 (£39,000) GoFundMe to ‘return her to her rightful home in Florida’ after being placed under a guardianship. She is currently living in a facility in New York.
Wendy was placed under a court-ordered guardianship in 2022, with Sabrina Morrissey appointed as her guardian.
Documents obtained by the US Sun at the end of 2024 described her as ‘an acclaimed entertainer who, tragically, has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.’
They added that after a ‘pattern of disturbing events concerning [Wendy’s] welfare and finances’ financial institution Wells Fargo ‘took the highly unusual step of initiating a guardianship’ for her ‘financial affairs’ in January 2022.
