Wendy Williams is currently at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City undergoing a comprehensive evaluation to determine her mental acuity and whether she possesses the necessary cognitive functions to manage her own affairs and potentially terminate her current guardianship arrangement. This assessment is crucial, as it will influence the future of her autonomy and personal rights.
According to sources close to the situation and reported by TMZ, a caregiver named Gina Monterroso, who is not involved in the guardianship, initiated this trip and the subsequent psychological evaluation. This decision follows a recent visit from the NYPD on Monday morning, where they assessed claims made by Wendy alleging that she is being held against her will in her current living situation.

The NYPD is looking into the details surrounding Wendy’s confinement within the memory care unit of her assisted living facility. Reports indicate that she is unable to leave the premises without explicit permission and rarely has the opportunity to go outside, raising concerns about her freedom and overall well-being.
In addition to the NYPD’s involvement, Adult Protective Services has also initiated an independent investigation into Wendy’s guardianship situation. As part of their inquiries, they have interviewed Wendy’s niece, Alex Finnie, in an effort to gather more information regarding her current living conditions and mental health status.
Reports by TMZ indicate that Wendy is seeking the services of renowned attorney Joe Tacopina to represent her in this matter. Tacopina is currently seriously considering taking on her case. Should he agree and if the judge does not terminate the guardianship, it is highly likely that a jury trial will ensue to determine whether Wendy possesses sufficient cognitive abilities to regain control over her personal affairs.
