Charlamagne tha God shared a new update on Wendy Williams' health amid claims that she was "cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated.â
During an episode of "The Breakfast Club," Charlamagne tha God revealed that he had spoken with the former talk show host over the holidays.
Charlamagne suggested that Williams sounded like her old self, adding that she could be ready for a potential return to radio or television soon. His comments come after Williams was diagnosed with aphasia and dementia in May 2023, roughly one year after a legal guardian was put in place to oversee her health and finances.
In a court filing obtained by TMZ in November, Williams' guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, said the ex-tv host "has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated."
âNo cap, I spoke to Wendy over the holidays. She wasâseemed perfectly fine to me. Wendy sound like she can do radio tomorrow if she wanted to,â Charlamagne said on a recent episode of "The Breakfast Club." âShe sound like Wendy Williams, she didnât skip a beat. She answered the phone like âwhy you talking like we just spoke yesterday?â She wanted me to be more excited. There ainât nothing incapacitated about Wendy Williams.â
âI donât know what âincapacitatedâ means in regards to the dementia or whatever they said she was dealing with, but noâthere ainât nothing incapacitated about Wendy Williams," he added.
In December, Williams was spotted celebrating her son Kevin Hunter Jr.âs graduation from Florida International University. Video surfaced online of a heated exchange between Williams and her caretakers who allegedly left her mobility scooter in the middle of the street following a graduation dinner for her son.
