- A new documentary titled TRAPPED premiered on May 19, 2025, and claims that following a birthday celebration at a rooftop bar in New York City, Wendy Williams was transferred to a more secure section of her assisted living facility focused on memory care.
- The relocation followed reports of Wendy's 60th birthday party involving alcohol, which some sources say triggered stricter supervision amid questions about her cognitive health.
- Medical experts in the documentary discuss Wendy’s 2023 frontotemporal dementia diagnosis and debate whether alcohol-induced decline contributes to her cognitive issues under guardianship.
- Wendy has publicly rejected claims of incapacitation, affirming that she manages her substance use well and currently lives alcohol-free, having reportedly passed hospital cognitive evaluations.
- The situation highlights ongoing conflict over Wendy’s care, with her guardian reporting she declined court-ordered testing and fans questioning if guardianship remains necessary.
