"I passed with flying colors!" – Wendy Williams says she aced mental evaluations a day after being escorted to the hospital

Wendy Williams is currently embroiled in a truly intense situation concerning her daily living. Her current goal is to be released from her conservatorship, which was put in place in 2022, so she can resume her normal life and snatch back the control of her affairs that was taken from her years ago.

There are several steps the former talk show personality would have to go through to make this a reality. Still, the outlook is optimistic as she aced her initial mental evaluations after being escorted to the hospital following her release from an assisted living facility on March 10. In an appearance on Good Day New York the following day, Williams called into the show for a live segment broadcast from the hospital, to share that:

“I passed with flying colors!”

Wendy Williams Fights Back - More on her Conservatorship and Future Plans

This all began when Wendy Williams' legal guardian made the claim that she's become ‘permanently disabled and legally incapacitated' after her dementia diagnosis had apparently left her cognitively impaired. Her caretaker, Ginalia Monterrosa, accompanied her to the hospital for her latest tests, and Williams took the opportunity to enable Ginalia to elaborate on the talk show star’s current state.

"She had those tests, she’s been deemed she is not incapacitated, I think it’s great news, and it’s public, and everybody knows factually that Wendy’s not incapacitated.”

When the show’s anchor Rosanna Scotto prodded Williams for her thoughts, Wendy’s response was concise and to the point,

“That is what I want, and that is what I got,”

Williams continued,

“What will I do? I have options. In terms of getting out of guardianship, that is my number one, A, number one most important thing"

Scotto then delved a bit deeper into Wendy’s situation, even asking if Williams would be willing to get a financial advisor and sober companion to help monitor her actions post-conservatorship, given her propensity for significant expenses and well-documented history with alcoholism. Williams’ response was to the point,

“I don’t need that. I’m not drinking ever in my life. By the way, a financial advisor, I've had that for years. Of course, [I will get] a financial advisor, of course somebody to look over my money. The money I have right now is all with my guardian person.”

Williams closed the interview by sharing her living conditions throughout her time under guardianship at assisted living. She even went as far as to compare her reality to life in prison.

“I'm on the fifth floor, it’s called the memory unit. This is a floor where you [go if you] don't remember anything. Like, really? And as far as me being able to go outside, I'm not allowed. I have to stay in this building.”

She continued,

“In order to go to the gym, which is on the third floor, I have to be permitted, and then I have somebody who works in this building walk me downstairs, and the man who's working me out, he’s outside to spot me. My money is in the air. This is my life!”

The 60-year-old TV personality clarified her wishes: She hopes to be released from her legal guardianship to return to everyday life. For Williams, this would mean “staying in New York” and “going back to work,” a move that would provide a sense of normalcy to her daily life after a rough experience since her conservatorship was enforced in 2022.
