Wendy Williams’ relatives claim they’re ‘denied contact’ with talk show host as she turns 60 and ‘express their well wishes’

As a devoted fan of Wendy Williams, I can’t help but feel deeply saddened by the latest developments in her life. The reports of her family’s inability to communicate with her due to ongoing litigation and her current guardianship arrangement under Sabrina Morrissey are heart-wrenching.


On her 60th birthday Thursday, Wendy Williams’ family is reportedly struggling to contact her, but they send their warmest wishes for this significant achievement.

An insider shared with People on Thursday that, due to ongoing legal proceedings, Wendy Williams’ family cannot comment on her present condition and whereabouts. They are eagerly hoping for her wellbeing and wish her a happy 60th birthday from afar.

The source expressed that Williams continues to be a iconic figure, past, present, and future, despite currently living under Sabrina Morrissey’s guardianship, which was instituted by the court following her diagnosed conditions of aphasia and frontotemporal dementia that came to light earlier this year.

Family members of Williams have openly shared their struggles that they claim have lasted over two years, following Williams’ placement under guardianship in 2022.

In February, Wanda Finnie, Williams’ sister, shared with People magazine that she hadn’t been informed about Williams’ health problems or the treatments she underwent.

I recalled the last time I received updates about Williams’ situation, which was during her visit with her family in Florida towards the end of 2021.

During her time in Florida, Finnie mentioned, a significant number of individuals played a role. This included professionals in Wendy’s circle, such as medical personnel and colleagues.

“She had arranged for a healthcare team, including nurses, as well as having her family close by. Her condition was improving.”

In the article, Finnie mentioned that Morrissey is the only individual who consistently engages in conversations with Williams.

“Finnie wondered aloud about how Williams transformed from a cherished family member who was healthy one moment to someone frequently hospitalized. He questioned the superiority of this new situation compared to what the family could arrange for her, but remained uncertain.”

Finnie said that the system revolving around Williams’ health and guardianship ‘is broken.’

At some point, I hope that Wendy gains the strength to express herself independently, as Finnie put it.

When I received the news of my health diagnosis earlier this year, my team felt it was important for me to share this information with my fans through a statement that we sent to People magazine.

Williams expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the outpouring of love and supportive comments following his announcement about being diagnosed with Aphasia and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). In simpler terms, he was blown away by the kindness shown to him.

I’ve received an abundance of heartfelt responses. The thoughts and emotions you’ve expressed have deeply moved me, emphasizing the importance of coming together and showing kindness towards one another.

The controversy over Williams’ situation has likewise reached A&E following the airing of Lifetime’s docuseries, “Where Is Wendy Williams?”

Morrissey stated that A&E’s Lifetime network had exploited Williams shamelessly for higher viewership numbers by portraying her in a disrespectful and dishonorable way during their broadcasts.

Based on my experience working in the entertainment industry as a production manager, I believe that Mark Ford’s statement indicates that both Wendy Williams and her legal team have given their approval for the docuseries about her life to move forward. It seems that they have reviewed the content and agreed that it accurately represents her story. As someone who has dealt with legal clearances for productions before, I understand the importance of securing proper permissions and approvals to protect all parties involved.

Ford stated that Wendy and her team, which included her managers, lawyers, and guardians, had approved the film project. They were kept informed throughout the production process, ensuring that all necessary permits were obtained.

Initially, we approached this movie with certain expectations. However, as the story unfolded, we realized that things were not what they seemed. The more we understood the real situation, the more compelled we became to follow its course.
