Wendy Williams Spotted on Rare Public Outing, Pleads for Release From Conservatorship: ‘I Want Out’
The former talk show host was photographed with shopping bags and a companion as she continues to challenge the court-ordered conservatorship.
- On Wednesday, August 19, former daytime talk show host Wendy Williams, 66, was spotted walking in New York City. In a video published Friday, she declared "I want out!" when asked about her conservatorship.
- Williams has remained under a court-ordered financial and personal conservatorship since May 2022 after Wells Fargo filed a petition arguing she was an "incapacitated person" and a "victim of undue influence."
- Attorney Joe Tacopina disputed the 2023 dementia diagnosis, citing neurologist Dr. Samuel E. Gandy, who claimed Williams "does not have frontotemporal dementia" but suffered from alcohol-induced cognitive issues.

- Despite legal filings labeling her "cognitively impaired," Williams has publicly denied these claims, asserting she is an "honest, hardworking person" who does not need someone to handle her accounts.
