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

They said that Wendy only got to know about her condition thanks to her new care team and the experts at Weill Cornell Medicine. They also said that Wendy is getting the medical help she needs and that she can still do many things on her own. She was the one who picked her care team and agreed to the press release, they added.

Her family shared tragic details about her condition.

The news of Wendy’s diagnosis came after a People Magazine story that featured the first comments from Wendy’s brother, sister, and niece. They talked about how Wendy’s life has changed over the past few years. Wendy’s niece, Alex Finnie, who is also a news anchor in Miami, said that they have seen Wendy go downhill for a long time. She said that it was sad and shocking to see Wendy in this state.

They also said that Wendy is now living in a secret care facility. Her sister, Wanda Finnie, revealed that Wendy can call them, but they can’t call her or visit her. They don’t even know where she is. Wanda Finnie said that they miss Wendy and they can’t see her.

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.

Wendy Williams has had a rough time in the past few years. In March 2019, she revealed that she was staying in a sober house. Then, in April 2019, she filed for divorce from her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, who was also a co-producer of her show. They had been married for 21 years and had a son, Kevin Hunter Jr.

Another well-known woman whose condition is closely followed by the whole world is Christina Applegate. Here’s how she is fighting her illness.
