Wendy Williams spotted on a mobility scooter having dinner in New York after being released from hospital

Broadcaster Wendy Williams was seen moving around with her mobility scooter in New York on March 15, 2025. The news came after she was released from the hospital following a welfare check. She was taken to the hospital after emergency responders arrived at her care facility following a 911 call.

According to Fox News, Williams was reportedly going to the Manhattan Italian eatery, Tucci. She wore a royal blue Dior coat with a monogram design and furry cuffs, paired with black leggings and Chanel boots.

As per the 2022 court order, Wendy Williams is now under guardianship with Sabrina Morrissey serving as her guardian. Speaking to The View on March 14, 2025, over a phone call, Ginalisa Monterroso, founder of Connect Care Advisory Group, said the guardianship came into effect after alleged unusual activity in Williams’ bank account. Williams then weighed in saying:

“That’s where the guardianship happened and I didn’t mind it at that time at all because it’s about my money and keeping my money safe.”

She continued:

“But at this point in my life, I want to terminate guardianship and move on with my life if that’s possible at all.”

Wendy Williams shared that she was initially being treated well, but then she unexpectedly ended up in a memory care facility in Connecticut. She described the experience as worse than her previous location in New York, feeling isolated in a place surrounded by grass, trees, and other memory care patients.

She also mentioned that her phone was taken away, making it difficult for her to contact others.

Why did Wendy Williams want to go to the hospital?

According to Fox News, Wendy Williams explained that she went to the hospital because she wanted a change of environment and needed to see a doctor. She emphasized that she decided to get an independent evaluation and denied any claims of being incapacitated.

When asked about her plans if the guardianship ends, by The View hosts, Williams stated that she does not want a guardian, specifically mentioning Sabrina Morrissey. She expressed frustration over the situation, saying it has been over three years and she wants to regain control of her life and finances.

Wendy Williams shared that she had no friends to contact because her guardian took away her phone while she was in a memory care facility in Connecticut. When asked about her relationship with substances, Wendy Willaims said:

“Moving forward, relationship is fine and it’s wonderful because, you know, because I have had my devices and I have to tell you something, I am easily going on with my life, alcohol-free.”

During an interview with Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM on March 11, 2025, Ginalisa recounted the incident when police arrived at the facility where Wendy Williams was staying. She explained that two officers initially showed up, followed by two more.

When the police entered Williams' room, she handed them the phone so Gina could speak with them. Gina described pleading with the officers as if Wendy Williams were her child, urging them to remove her from that floor.

Williams questioned why she was placed in a unit where others had severe memory issues while she did not. She described the situation as a cry for help.
