Wendy Williams Moved to Memory Unit Amid Alcohol Concerns

Wendy Williams has been moved to the memory care unit of her assisted living facility after an incident involving alcohol consumption at the facility's restaurant. Initially placed on the third floor, which allowed for more freedom, she reportedly drank excessively one day, resulting in supervisors deciding to relocate her to a unit with restricted access to elevators. This decision was not based on her cognitive health, as sources emphasize that her memory remains intact despite her diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia. Williams has expressed feeling imprisoned in the facility, where she has been under guardianship since 2022. She alleged that the conditions have severely limited her freedom, including a lack of visitors and outdoor access. As of now, she has reportedly spent months in the memory unit without the ability to freely come and go, which has raised concerns among her supporters.
