A new medical evaluation has concluded that Wendy Williams does not have frontotemporal dementia, directly contradicting the diagnosis that placed her under guardianship more than three years ago. According to her legal team, Wendy recently completed a comprehensive neurological assessment in New York City, with results finalized in late October 2025. The findings will serve as the basis for a forthcoming court filing, expected within two weeks, to formally request the termination of her guardianship.

Williams’ guardianship, originally imposed due to claims of severe cognitive decline, now faces serious scrutiny in light of the updated medical opinion. Her lawyer, Joe Tacopina, confirmed that the legal team intends to move swiftly, arguing that the previous diagnosis was inaccurate and unjustly restrictive. If the presiding judge declines to dissolve the guardianship, Tacopina plans to demand a jury trial, stating that jurors should have the chance to “free Wendy.”

The report also notes Wendy’s significant neurological and emotional recovery since achieving sobriety three years ago. Sources close to her describe her as lucid, engaged, and determined to reclaim control over her personal and professional life. Despite this progress, Wendy remains legally under the guardianship’s supervision until the court’s decision.

Wendy recently made a rare public appearance at the wedding of Chris Tacopina, son of her lawyer Joe Tacopina, who married Emma White. Chris, a Data Analytics Manager for the Florida Panthers, is set to receive his second Stanley Cup ring.

Friends say the event marked one of Wendy’s most joyful public outings in years — a hopeful sign as she prepares to fight for her independence once again.
