Wendy Williams Moved to Memory Care After Birthday Drinking Incident

News summary

A recent documentary titled 'TRAPPED: What Is Happening to Wendy Williams?' reveals that the former talk show host Wendy Williams was moved to a locked memory care unit in a New York City assisted living facility after an incident on her 60th birthday where she sneaked to a rooftop bar and drank alcohol, marking a relapse. Investigative journalist Diane Dimond detailed that Williams, originally on the third floor with more freedom, accessed the rooftop bar via elevator, consumed multiple drinks, and subsequently was transferred to a more restrictive fifth-floor memory care ward where she is confined unless her guardian permits otherwise. Williams, who has been under guardianship since 2022, was diagnosed in 2023 with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, though some experts suggest alcohol-induced dementia as a possible diagnosis. Despite the documentary's claims, Williams has publicly stated in an interview on The View that while she celebrated her 60th birthday with alcohol, she is now sober and has a positive relationship with substances. The documentary underscores ongoing concerns regarding Williams' health, guardianship, and struggles with alcoholism. Representatives for Williams have not provided comments on the documentary's allegations.
