Wendy Williams is permanently incapacitated due to dementia

A meteoric rise and a tragic fall.

She embodied pretty much every annoying thing about attention-ho black women.

So what who cares. Vile woman.

What is Sabrina Morrissey's deal? Is she helping this along to slowly drain her accounts or is she really trying to help?

It couldn’t have happened to a worse person.

She’s not very old, either.

Scary shit.

Scary indeed

Come on dowwwwwn!

Very sad. I hope she's comfortable and not stressed out, at least

See you in hell, bitch.

I hope she’s still enjoying smoking her Slim Jim’s. I remember when she was the cat’s meow among DataLounger’s, prior to her TV series. As vicious a gossip columnist as she was, she was only that.

I'd rather have a dead brain too than have to accept the fact Sherri Shephard took my gig.

Sad

My heart goes out to her....that is sad

That has to be one of the worst ways to die. Seriously.

Bitch got what she deserved.

Have fun circling the drain sweetie. I'll continue touring to sold out casinos, bitch.

Terrible.

Pat Summitt, the basketball coach, was diagnosed with dementia around the same age (60) and died a few years later.

No one deserves this.

Too many documented homophobic comments over the years. She can fuck right off and got what she deserves..

Damn, only 60. My mom has Alzheimer's but she's 82

Did we really need this incapacitation proclamation?

She could still join "The View" for a couple of years and be as lucid than the regulars.

If everyone on The View had dementia would we even notice

Sad last days

aw. too bad. poor thing.

She can get a job in the Trump cabinet.

At her son's college graduation yesterday.

potato in a wig

A friend's mother has dementia/Alzheimer's and she has been in a nursing home for SIX years now. It's cost a fortune to keep her there, but my friend and her siblings are unable to give her 24/7 care at their homes. It's a horrible, awful illness and it can drag on for years.

A shame. Her show was a lot of fun, gave pleasure to many.,

I’ve seen people talking about this odd looking specimen for years and I still have no idea who the fuck she is

she made her living cleaning toilets with her mouth so why's it shocking she caught some freaky deeky dizeez

I am so astonished! And here I had thought she would be the only case in history where dementia would reverse itself!

For years? You can post on DL but you can't do a simple Google search?

My cousin's wife has been suffering from early onset for several years now. She's at home, with 24/7 care, to the tune of $250,000 a year. My cousin said it would cost about $150,000 a year if she were in a nursing home.

R31 No one’s buying your bullshit. I hate it when snobby bitches like you pretending you don’t know a trashy celebrity because you think you’re above all that.

Sad.

I hope she's got a competent and honest attorney making sure no one is taking advantage of her and/or her finances.

Can I have her stuff?

Bitch made her $$ talking shit about people. Now, they talk about her. Karma, cunt.

Somewhere Whitney is sucking on a crack pipe a laughing her jerky head off.

Those bug eyes she has are really scary

*** Redditbros have entered the chat ***

Was what she said true?

I never watch talk shows but I got a kick out of hers the handful of times I watched it. And have seen her interview with Aretha Franklin, which was awesome!

Sorry to hear this. She’s had her share of struggles.

I liked her talk show, she was fun to watch.

No one in the media was bold enough to tell the truth about Beyoncé like Wendy Williams.

R43 are you so fucking stupid that you don’t realise that it takes less time and fewer keystrokes to type your query into a search engine such as Google rather than jump onto the DL and ask the same question?

Of course there would be no audience so there’s that.

r39 Darfur Orphan! Where have you been?

[quote] No one deserves this.

Some people do deserve this, but IMO, not Wendy.

[quote] No one in the media was bold enough to tell the truth about Beyoncé like Wendy Williams.

Wendy said that, when Beyoncé was on TV, talking, she (WW) had to turn on the Closed Captioning.

I always found her oddly likeable. Poor thing.

Why is she in a wheelchair?

She’s cunt. She got what she deserved!

I love Sherri Sheppard-so positive

She might have been poisoned.

[quote]She got what she deserved!

Was she also CEO of an insurance corporation?

No big surprise. Always seemed unhinged to me anyway. Next.

I miss her in the entertainment landscape...Im glad that Kevin Jr. graduated and she was able to witness it.

I was a listener of Wendy's since the early 2000s. She frequently mentioned on the radio, even 25 years ago, that she would be plagued with health issues earlier than most people because of her height/weight and life-long bad habits (both with crazy diets and drugs/alcohol). She had "Medical Minute" spot on her radio show too.

Say what you will about Wendy, but she was spot on about almost everything, including her own demise, and even Diddy.

r59 I also remember Wendy saying that she'd get health issues earlier in life. She partied hard with drugs and alcohol and was also a smoker for a long time, she didn't quit until she was nearly middle-aged.

Isn't it possible she does NOT have dementia and this is all money hungry control plays? She might just still be a mentally ill alcoholic and drug addict with Graves' Disease.

Didn’t she have a a hard time getting pregnant too?

Watching the documentary, R61, she’d have to be quite the actress if she really didn’t have dementia.

ok then

I miss Wendy, and wish her well.

Her talk show was entertaining. She was bitchy and gossipy about celebrities we all hate, I don't know why DL has a problem with her.

That'll do it to ya.

Luff huh. Poor Wendy, I really miss her.

I don't understand what could have caused this.

I knew two people who had early onset Alzheimers and died in their 60s.

[quote]R35 My cousin's wife has been suffering from early onset for several years now. She's at home, with 24/7 care, to the tune of $250,000 a year. My cousin said it would cost about $150,000 a year if she were in a nursing home.

I’m frightened to look into what happens to the aged and demented when they have no family or funds. (Emphasis on funds, as the case @ r59 has multiple children, none of whom will commit to caring for her.)

Sorry… CASE @ R29

! ! !

[quote][R59] has multiple children, none of whom will commit to caring for her.)

They all work full-time and have children, they can't care for her 24/7, which is the kind of care she needs. She cannot be left alone. Furthermore, she has outbursts of temper and becomes violent, which is common in dementia/Alzheimer's patients. The kind of care she requires can only be provided by an assisted living facility.

The accomplished automotive writer and editor, Jean Jennings (Lindamood) died recently of early onset at 70. I know there are car enthusiasts here that know who I mean.

R74 Is 70 early? I’m asking genuinely because I don’t know what “on time” onset age would be? 80?

R75, “early onset” is confined to those diagnosed by their 64th birthday.

Yes r74, I enjoyed reading her column “Vile Gossip” in AUTOMOBILE magazine. Very sorry to hear of her passing.

I hope its a long, slow, miserable, painful death! How you doin’

You sound charming, R78.

If she ever wants to come on to the show, I’m game.

She's fine y'all (article). This dementia thing is just bullshit that Wendy put out trying to get attention for herself and revive her stale career.

R2, Collider pieces keep showing up on my phone. They always spew nonsense.

She’s fine and sends her love.

Im very glad to hear this r81 and happy that she looks healthy in this photo. Hope it's a recent one

There was an article recently that showed Wendy in the audience for her son's college graduation. This article said she looked alert and well. Leave it TMZ to catch some drama. They posted pics and a story about what happened after this happy event.

Apparently Wendy and her caretaker(s) went to a restaurant after the graduation and at one point the helpers left to wrangle up Wendy's car and her mobility scooter was left in the street. This made Wendy very irate and she was heard to say that this scooter was her most prized and most expensive possession and it was just sitting there unattended. Wendy was also heard yelling "if you want to make money off me, you better do what I ask!". This whole situation is messy.

She’s a fucken mess!

She’s certainly not doing well.

she was nasty but had zero wit.

like a homeless man's Joan Rivers.

[quote]r85 Wendy was also heard yelling "If you want to make money off me, you better do what I ask!"

There’s so many people this could be hollered at, in so many situations.

👀 ….what’s Oscars?!

What drug could incapacitate a person the way that Wendy is incapacitated?

So why is Wendy in a wheelchair and a scooter? I thought her illness was dementia.

She's only 60. Isn't that a little young to have mobility issues?

R92 - Wendy has lymphedema for the last 8+ years or so -- she spoke about it back when her talk show was still on the air. Even back in those days she spoke about the swelling and pain in her legs, so it is probably advanced to the point that it's difficult for her to walk.

Bitch deserves not to walk.

Wendy-Wendy what went wrong?

I did liked her show. Fun gossip and she was very attentive to her audience. Oh well nothing lasts forever.

I hate her because she had more shit going on in her own life than those she talked shit about. Hypocrite!

I thought her fake boobs were bizarrely large!

WHO outside of fetish porn would choose that size??

Bitch shaped like the number 4.

^lmao

Dem titties turned Kelvin off.

I watched that sad, lurid documentary about her. It felt really exploitive. I remember a few sketchy characters around her and also some desperation about her trying to find her way back onto television. Her apartment looked expensive but strangely empty of anything personally meaningful. It had some expensive impulse purchases like Hermes or Chanel branded decorations that looked like knockoffs. In a few scenes she was pictured in bed with a crooked wig, looking really vulnerable and unable to care for herself. It was rough.

She shits her diaper.

Has anyone watched TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy? You can stream it free on Tubi. I just finished watching it and she does seem drastically better when compared to her state of mind on the Lifetime documentary. Sobriety obviously plays a key role here. I'm obviously not qualified to say that she doesn't have aphasia/dementia, but I'm glad she'll be re-evaluated. Her current situation is so bleak.

boo-yahhh!

Who's tripping down the streets of the city

Smilin' at everybody she sees

Who's reachin' out to capture a crackpipe?

Everyone knows it's Wendy!

Snap out of it.

awww...

Little Kelvin isn’t stepping up for momma. Shame.

Hand it to TMZ to spill out all of the latest dirt on Wendy. The headline says "Wendy Williams moved to Memory Unit due to alcohol issues". Apparently Wendy was able to get her hands on some booze while in the facility she's remanded to and ended up in a special wing in order to get right.

She’s a fucking MESS! Keep her locked up. Forever.

Quit playing games with us, Wendy.

Looks like the spigot to Wendy's money is now running dry for Wendy's family, so they're now forced to pick up some spare change by making some calls to TMZ.

She really chose poorly regarding a life-partner. He was the worst. Her son doesn't seem much better. Why did she choose a hoodrat when she was brought up in a middle class family with two parents who valued education?

Wendy's lived her whole life saying Fuck You! You can't tell me what to do! to nearly every suggestion anyone has ever given her.

Choosing a life with a hoodrat was just another FU to her parents.

THIS is why the bank locked her out of access and wanted someone to direct funds for her.

My mom has dementia and has occasional moments of clarity- only to accuse us of stealing her money and demanding access to see the her banking balances (being destitute all of it but $75 goes to the nursing home every month)

Podcaster Kendall Rae posted an episode covering the recent TMZ story about Wendy being put in the "memory wing" of the facility she's being housed in.

Note: The first 1hour-15min of the video is the hosts discussing various "girl talk" topics. Scroll midway for the Wendy stuff - they spend about 40 minutes discussing her.

I’ve always thought there were two or three different reasons that together drove Wendy to pick the type of man she did.

Firstly, Wendy has always been a big-boned gal. Even when she’s thin, she’s tall and sturdily built. That’s fine but she’s always been this girly, girl type who wants to feel like a pretty little princess and Kelvin, tall and stout like a defensive lineman, was able to get her a least an illusion of being a petite little thing.

Secondly, she was raised in high-class society compared to most black Americans. Her parents both have degrees and had professional careers. They were light-skinned as well. While that may set her apart, higher in the minds of the people her family likely socialized with, it marks her as “white-acting” for many black people. That’s all well and good when you’re vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard at the Inkwell, as they called it, but it doesn’t play when you’re trying to make it as a hip-hop radio DJ and mixing with Busta , Dre, and KRS-One. She came up before the days of Drake and Jay-Z, when back when street cred was more important, and Kelvin (who truly is street) lent her some of that shine.

Thirdly, she did drugs and was putting thuggish people’s business out in the public. Hell, even Whitney Houston (who was much more street than Wendy in upbringing and adult lifestyle) threatened to beat her ass. She, probably wisely, picked a thug that would be able to protect her. Nobody was going to physically mess with Wendy because they knew that big brute Kelvin would get them in an alley at some point and they wouldn’t come out on the winning end of that encounter.

I saw an interview on TMZ where she was very lucid. Something is rotten in Denmark.

R120, the issue is that Wendy drank, did legal and illegal drugs that distort the diagnosis as well as stymie timely treatment. I have never met anyone that would admit to having dementia! It is a shameful and humiliating thing to deal with.

She fell into a serious downward spiral if not a psychotic break when her husband not only cheated, but had a baby with another woman- all in front of her and the world while at the same time working on her show with her. Her response and attitude of the show’s cancellation speaks volumes about her state of mind and her delusions of grandeur. I believer she hit the drug and drink much harder than anyone would admit.

Now that she’s more sober, she’s likely “on” more often, but still has the dementia that would make it impossible to follow a timeline, live by herself, or remember important things, like paying bills or keeping track of important events. My mom lived on her own for over 20 years like this and it was an absolute nightmare, because we were cleaning up financial mishaps, batting off relatives and strangers hanging on and begging her for money, and trying to handle payment of taxes and property upkeep, only to have her scream at us for spending all her money.

This is likely why the family is minimally involved, the toughest thing to deal with is that all of this has significantly impacted her wealth, that she’s burning through her money with the finest care available, and not only is it unlikely there is any inheritance left,

but her family will have to downsize the comfortable lifestyle they’re used to.

Fuck off Wendy. Karma rightfully got you!!!

I think Wendy‘s son has a lot to answer for in this. He spent over $100,000 on a boat for one of his birthday parties while she was using/drinking.

But Wendy raised him. Wendy picked the most thuggish guy she could find to marry. Does Kevin Jr. even know what good people look like?

I’m so tired of hearing about her plight

Wendy was and is and will always be a cunt! Die already and be dine with this stupid drama.

There are rumours that Wendy was misdiagnosed

R126 Those rumors were started by Wendy.

Wendy lies. Never believe anything the cunt says.

People care about the likes of Wendy Williams? She's as icky as any Kartrashian.

[quote]She fell into a serious downward spiral if not a psychotic break when her husband not only cheated, but had a baby with another woman- all in front of her and the world while at the same time working on her show with her.

Bethany Frankel talked about Wendy a bit recently.

She mentioned how hard it is to do a syndicated show, and how it takes its toll on you after a while because you're always trying to appease affiliates. She said Wendy must have been very unhappy because she did it so long and because her husband seemed very controlling. She observed his behavior while she was doing the show just watching over Wendy and everyone else.

I’m almost finished watching the TMZ thing on Tubi and I really don’t know how to feel. I don’t think she’s completely with it, but does she deserve this? That lifetime thing from last year, was the worst thing that could’ve happened to her. It made the conservator look careless and she has clearly battened down the hatches on Wendy and sued lifetime. She lost.

I can’t believe her son getting into her bank account while she was drunk is what kicked all of this off. He really should be ashamed of himself.

She never should have eaten crow.

CNN should give her her own show. She could be the new Larry King.

We don’t use icky here, dear r129.

We’re adult men who can deal with adult words and the concepts they describe.

r134 / r135 Seek help

Wendy deserves every bad thing in life! She was such a cunt to everyone. Now it’s back to her. Fuck off you fucking cunt Wendy!!!!!

Love her!

I think she should be let loose for a weekend and see what happens.

It sounds like her son has some things to answer for and maybe her ex husband as well. I never could stand to watch and especially listen to her for a whole episode, but I do feel bad for her.

Saw that there were more than 20 new replies today to scroll through on this thread.

Shit that bitch better be dead!

Diddy's final victim!

I don't buy that her husband's cheating was her downfall. If she believed that he was a faithful husband during their marriage then she's one of the stupidest women on the planet. Seems like she was fine with it, but a side baby was apparently her red line.

She had also been having major health issues for years. She got like the one of the first set of big fake silicone implants made years ago and never got them changed. All that leaking silicone in her body really fucked up her body and brain.

Just like my mom-the worst kind of person- blaming others for her own stupid mistakes and absolutely blindly unknowing or accepting of the consequences when they arrive. The dementia addling her brain is but a convenient excuse.

I love my mom, but I tolerate her too.

When she wakes up she’ll be in Belarus.

I’d watch her host a talk show now. It would be highly entertaining

To be fair ElderSage r144 she was in a really bad way when her son was getting into her bank account.

She must’ve been in really bad shape because Wells Fargo couldn’t get in touch with her for weeks before they froze her account and started an investigation.

He even had a middle-aged woman calling up and pretending to be her. Her kid sounds like a little asshole.

does dementia turn you into a blonde frog

She seems frighteningly... normal.

She seems frighteningly... normal.

She has obviously declined but she shouldn't be locked up and isolated. Who has been fleecing her?

After a fall, I sat in the hospital room for 12 hours and watched my mom fool a dozen doctors. Dementia is insidious for some people because they try to hide it, become belligerent when you correct them, and it comes and goes in wildly unpredictable ways- it progresses differently for each person and leaves them unable to fend for themselves or their financials. My mom would pay bills twice, fumble dates and times, and be unreasonable about meeting other’s obligations. It really brings out the worst aspects of certain personalities like the stubborn, narcissistic, or self absorbed. What is worse is when someone with dementia tries to smooth over, ignore or worse, “fix” the issue unattended. They no longer run along the same timeline or narration of awareness of the world that we do.

I once sat a half empty water bottle near my mom’s bed when visiting and it sat there for over two years. My mom’s best friend left a paperback for her to read on the coffee table and it sat for five years untouched.

Also, surgery or medical intervention is so much worse with dementia patients, as it distorts their brain in unforeseeable ways. My mom awoke from surgery thinking she was in her cottage she lived in the 90’s and was screaming at doctored to get out of her house. I find it all terrifying, especially if it’s hereditary.

Again, the family likely is done with Wendy and her antics and is why they did not want the responsibility- my brother got fed up as caring for them is a THANKLESS full time job.

My takeaway? Nobody cleaned R152's poor demented mother's house for years.

You know, Wendy. Wendy saying you know 14,000 times! You know, Wendy sounds like a NUTJOB. You know. Stay you know locked up you know screwball you know fucking Wendy. You know you are you know locked up because you know you should you know be locked up, you cunt! You know.

R154, You know what I'm sayin'?
