Wendy Williams 'Passes' Mental Health Test After Being Taken to Hospital

Wendy Williams was finally able to leave her apartment in an assisted living building in New York City, after she dropped a hand-written note from a window pleading for help.

Williams threw a piece of paper from her 5th-floor room on Monday, March 10, to the paparazzi outside that read, “Help! Wendy!!” the New York Post reported.

The outlet published video and pictures that showed police arriving at the building to do a wellness check. Williams walked out of the facility surrounded by NYPD officers, and got into a waiting ambulance. She was taken to Lennox Hill Hospital for evaluation.

Sources told TMZ Williams was given a “capacity test” by a psychiatrist who declared her “mental capacity is fully intact.”

Williams “scored 10 out of 10” on the test, the outlet reported.

Last month, TMZ released a documentary on Tubi about the former shock jock’s court-ordered guardianship titled TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy.

The radio legend was interviewed by phone. She said she was not allowed to leave her building, and felt like she was in “prison.”

“I want my rights back, I want my freedom back,” Williams pleaded.

The outlet revealed the only way its crew could film the documentary was to put a camera on the sidewalk, where they recorded Williams at the window of her apartment as she spoke by phone.

Williams, 60, was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in 2023, according to her court-appointed guardian Sabrina Morrissey.

In November 2024, Morrissey filed court documents alleging Williams was “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated,” which Williams and her family denied.

She was placed under guardianship in 2022, after Wells Fargo filed a petition in a New York court, citing concerns she was being financially exploited.

Williams said in the TMZ documentary that her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., was spending large sums of her money without permission.

The former daytime TV queen has been fighting to be released from the guardianship. She recently did an interview with “The Breakfast Club” and said: “I am not cognitively impaired.”
