During their visit to a herbal store, Williams reportedly appeared “sharp, upbeat, and aware,” according to an employee. The same source described her as “very bubbly” and engaging, although she was not as familiar with the store’s offerings, leaving her son to explain more about the products and services. Williams reportedly expressed interest in improving circulation but chose not to go into too much detail during this initial visit, indicating plans to return in the near future.

Before this recent appearance, Williams was last publicly seen in March 2023 when she returned to her apartment in New York City. Prior to that, her last appearance on The Wendy Williams Show was in 2021. The show, which continued with guest hosts, concluded in 2022 amid ongoing health concerns for Williams, including Graves’ disease and lymphedema.

Wendy Williams has been diagnosed with two brain disorders: primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. Her reps confirmed this in a press release.

Wendy acted as a producer of a documentary series that portrayed her condition and daily life. The series featured candid footage showing that she was not entirely healthy. She also revealed the condition of her legs, saying that she has lymphedema. However, after a few episodes were released, the series was canceled. People close to Wendy began to doubt whether she was fully aware of her actions when she was filmed and when these recordings were aired.

Despite her health issues, her fans continue to show support for the media personality. In the recently shared photo, people expressed joy in seeing her apparently well. “Wendy looks good,” and “I’m so glad to see her looking healthy,” are some of the comments on Facebook.

We hope Wendy’s treatment is going well. Here, you can learn more about the illnesses this brave woman is fighting.
