Charlamagne Tha God has shared a positive update on Wendy Williams.
During the Tuesday, Jan. 7 episode of “The Breakfast Club,” Charlamagne shared that he recently spoke with Williams, and to him, she sounded great.
“I spoke to Wendy over the holidays. She was — seemed perfectly fine to me. Wendy sounds like she can do radio tomorrow if she wanted to,” he told his co-hosts DJ Envy and Jess Hilarious.
“She called me, and I don’t know what ‘incapacitated’ means in regards to dementia or whatever they said she was dealing with, but no, ain’t nothing incapacitated about Wendy Williams,” added the radio personality.

Before “The Breakfast Club,” Charlamagne worked with Williams from 2006 to 2008 on her popular radio show, “The Wendy Williams Experience,” so the two go back decades.
In November 2024, Williams’ court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey said in court documents that Williams was “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.”
However, days later, Williams’ family members hit back and said she was actually doing much better than her guardian suggested.
“She is more clear now than she’s ever been throughout the guardianship, which is a problem for some,” a family insider told the Daily Mail in an article published on Dec. 2.
The former TV host was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) back in 2023.
A year before her diagnosis, in 2022 she was placed under guardianship after Wells Fargo Bank filed a petition to a New York court amid concerns that the radio legend was the victim of financial exploitation.
That same year, a controversial documentary about Williams began filming in August.
Morrissey went to court to block the release of the Lifetime film but failed to stop it from airing in February 2024.
The guardian is currently locked in a legal battle with Lifetime over the airing of Where is Wendy Williams?
