“WENDY WILLIAMS REMOVED FROM CARE FLOOR AFTER SHOCKING ALCOHOL RELAPSE ON BIRTHDAY—How Did This Happen to the Former Talk Show Queen?”

In a shocking turn of events, Wendy Williams, the former talk show host beloved by millions, was allegedly moved from her assisted living facility’s regular floor to the more restrictive memory unit after a surprising incident on her 60th birthday. According to a new documentary, TRAPPED: What Is Happening to Wendy Williams?, the media mogul’s struggles with alcoholism and dementia took an unexpected and alarming turn that led to her being placed in a more secure area of the facility. This revelation has sparked widespread concern, leaving fans and the media to question what’s really going on with Wendy Williams.

The Incident that Sparked Major Changes

In an investigative report by journalist Diane Dimond, it was revealed that Wendy Williams’ shocking relocation came after she allegedly snuck away from the facility’s regular care floor on her birthday in July 2024. According to Dimond’s account in the documentary, Wendy had access to the facility’s hallways and elevators but had never been restricted until this event. On her birthday, in an apparent moment of rebellion or perhaps desperation, Wendy decided to take the elevator, which ascended to the building’s rooftop bar. There, she ordered drink after drink, reportedly getting drunk in a moment of relapse.

This behavior reportedly led to a severe intervention, and Williams was swiftly moved to a more secure floor—the facility’s memory care unit. According to the documentary, the memory unit is highly restricted, with Wendy now confined to her room 24/7 unless given special permission by her guardian. Dimond also claimed, “Her treatment is to be sent to a much more restrictive ward,” hinting at the severity of the incident that had taken place.

Williams’ spokesperson has not issued an official statement regarding these claims, leaving fans and the public to speculate about the true nature of her health and the state of her guardianship.

Wendy’s Public Struggles and the State of Her Health

Wendy Williams has been public about her health battles for years, including her diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which was confirmed in 2023. These diagnoses have been central to her story in recent years, leading to her placement under a guardianship in 2022 after a series of health-related issues.

In the documentary TRAPPED, various doctors discussed the possibility that Wendy’s cognitive decline could be exacerbated by alcohol, a theory that has been floating around since her health issues began to surface. Dr. Daniel Amen, a brain disorder specialist, weighed in on the subject, stating, “Alcohol is one of the main causes of cognitive decline and dementia. In fact, I believe that alcoholic dementia is the second most common cause.”

For Wendy, this latest relapse on her 60th birthday could be a troubling sign that her struggle with alcoholism may have contributed to the severity of her dementia. In a past interview, Wendy admitted to “celebrating” her birthday, though she insisted that she is now sober and has worked to stay alcohol-free since then.

Yet, as the documentary suggests, it appears that Wendy’s journey toward sobriety has been a rocky one. Her guardianship has raised concerns about her capacity to make decisions for herself, further complicating matters for those who are trying to help her. Despite these claims, Williams herself has disputed certain aspects of the narrative, stating in a recent interview, “My relationship [with substances] is fine and is wonderful.”

The Ongoing Guardianship and Legal Battle

Wendy Williams has been under a legal guardianship since 2022, which has been a source of contention for many, including her own supporters. Since becoming her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey has repeatedly requested that Wendy undergo additional medical evaluations to assess her ability to make decisions. A court-ordered evaluation was supposed to take place in March 2025, but according to Morrissey, Wendy declined to participate in the testing, a claim Wendy denies.

“I don’t know anything about that,” Williams responded to the accusation. “Bulls—. I am open to what I am open to, and I can’t talk about it right now.” This public back-and-forth has only added fuel to the fire, leaving many to question whether Wendy is being treated fairly under the guardianship, or if she still has the autonomy to make decisions about her life and future.

Despite her denial, sources close to the case confirm that Williams has not undergone the necessary medical evaluations, including a brain MRI, that are required to continue her guardianship. The results of these evaluations would be crucial in determining whether she still has the cognitive capacity to manage her affairs or if she should continue under guardianship.

What Lies Ahead for Wendy Williams?

As the public continues to witness Wendy Williams’ decline, there’s a growing sense of unease surrounding her future. While her fight with alcohol and dementia has been well-documented, the recent incident on her birthday and her move to the memory unit are the latest reminders of how far Williams has fallen from her former talk show glory days.

Her fans, who once reveled in her sharp wit and candid opinions, are now left to watch from the sidelines, hoping for a resolution to her health woes. Will Wendy Williams ever reclaim her former role in the public eye? And if she does, will she have the ability to continue her career, or has this incident on her birthday marked a new and darker chapter in her life?

As her guardianship continues and new legal proceedings unfold, one thing is certain: Wendy’s journey is far from over, but it remains unclear whether she will ever regain control over her own life. Fans, doctors, and family members alike will be watching closely, hoping that Wendy Williams can find a way back from this difficult and turbulent period in her life.
