(New York, NY) – Former talk show host Wendy Williams was rushed to Lenox Hill Hospital on Monday (March 10, 2025) after dropping a note out of her assisted living facility window, requesting help. The 60-year-old TV personality, who’s been under court-ordered guardianship since 2022, has been battling dementia and has often complained against her current living situation.
It all started when Williams threw a handwritten note from the fifth-story window of her assisted living facility in New York. Concerned onlookers and a reporter from the New York Post were at the scene when the police were called for a wellness check. Shortly after, Williams was seen waving at the reporter while speaking on the phone before being escorted out of the facility by law enforcement officers and taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
She has said, “I am not cognitively impaired. But I feel like I am in prison.” The NYPD and Adult Protective Services have launched investigations into the management of Williams’ guardianship. Sabrina Morrissey, her court-appointed guardian ,has claimed that Williams is “cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and incapacitated” due to her dementia diagnosis. However, Williams, and several of her friends, have consistently denied these claims and has sought to regain control of her finances and personal affairs.
