Things don’t sound good for Wendy Williams … her battle with dementia has left the former talk show host “permanently incapacitated” … at least according to her guardian.

In a new legal filing, obtained by TMZ, Wendy’s guardian claims she “has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.”

As we reported … Wendy was diagnosed with aphasia and dementia back in May 2023, about one year after she was placed under a legal guardianship overseeing her health and finances.

The court filing is part of a legal skirmish between Wendy’s guardian Sabrina Morrissey and the “Where Is Wendy Williams?” doc.

TMZ broke the story … Morrissey sued back in February to stop the doc from coming out. The doc was ultimately released on Lifetime and it highlighted Wendy’s struggles with alcohol, including a scene where she downed an entire bottle of vodka.

In this filing, Morrissey is asking the court to redact certain portions of the case to protect Wendy’s privacy … namely, information about her health, familial relationships and finances.

We last saw Wendy in public in August … when she went shopping at a holistic wellness store in New Jersey.

Wendy also gave an interview in early October to the Daily Mail, talking mostly about the Diddy case. The interview was not on camera.
