Hours after entering New York City’s Lenox Hill Hospital Monday (March 11), Wendy Williams passed her psychological evaluation — known as a capacity test — TMZ reports.
Sources with direct knowledge told the celebrity news outlet that the former talk show host scored a 10 out of 10 on the exam that involved accessing if she is currently “alert” and “oriented.”
The results contradict the running narrative from her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, who has been in charge of Williams’ well-being and finances since 2022. Morrissey claimed in November 2024 court docs that Williams’ frontotemporal dementia diagnosis has resulted in her becoming “cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated.” Williams has since disputed the diagnosis.
Test results are said to be headed to the judge in Williams’ guardianship case, and will likely improve her chances of being released.

Williams was taken to the hospital Monday for evaluation following a wellness check at the assisted living facility where she currently resides. Earlier in the day, Williams dropped a troubling note down from her window to a paparazzo asking for assistance, as the message simply read, “HELP! WENDY!!”
The New Jersey native, 60, has previously compared living in the facility to “prison,” telling The Breakfast Club, “I am not cognitively impaired. But I feel like I am in prison…I’m in this place where the people are in their 90s and their 80s and their 70s. There’s something wrong with these people here on this floor.”
In February, Williams signed an affidavit requesting her guardianship be terminated, and is currently inquiring about the services of A$AP Rocky’s trial attorney, Joe Tacopina, to make it happen.
