Wendy Williams Hospitalized After Sending Cry for Help To Paparazzi

Wendy Williams has been taken to hospital after dropping a note from the window of her assisted living facility which read: “Help! Wendy!!”

The former The Wendy Williams Show host, 60, has been under a financial guardianship since 2022. Last year, her care team announced she had been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.

PageSix reports that New York police were called to the facility shortly after 11:15 a.m. on Monday to do a wellness check.

An insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Wendy, 60, was sent to the hospital on Monday after an Adult Protective Services case was opened on her case last week.

The insider claimed Wendy's "civil rights and liberty are being denied," and further accused the guardianship of enabling "elder abuse."

The source claimed Wendy's guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, sent the iconic daytime TV host to visit her father in Florida with an empty credit card.

"The guardian gave her a credit card with no funds when she went to Miami.

"During her trip to see her father in Miami last month for his birthday, the credit card given to her by Sabrina was declined and someone else had to pay for her purchases, and thats elder abuse," the insider alleged.

"Meanwhile, the guardian is spending all her money hiring lawyers to defend herself and squandering Wendy's money on legal fees."

Sabrina is currently in a legal battle with Lifetime over the Where Is Wendy Williams? documentary, and has her own attorney representing her in that case.

It is unclear if there are additional legal battles in which Sabrina has hired counsel in her guardianship over Wendy.

The insider confirmed that Wendy's evaluation on Monday is not connected to the evaluation that is scheduled as part of the lawsuit with Lifetime to determine whether Wendy is able to participate in that legal action.

On Monday, Wendy was transported from the senior living facility she is being held in to a local New York City hospital as part of the investigation into the Adult Protective Services case being leveled against Wendy's guardianship.

The NYPD responded to The U.S. Sun's request about Wendy's welfare check and her transportation to a hospital.

"On Monday, March 10, the NYPD responded to a welfare check....EMS responded and transported a 60-year-old female to an area hospital for evaluation," the NYPD said in response.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Wendy's guardian, Sabrina, for comment.

Wendy has been extremely vocal about her treatment under the restrictive guardianship, and has called the facility she is in a luxury prison.

The former Wendy Williams Show host has repeatedly claimed that she is being held captive in the memory unit of her senior living facility, and is unable to exit her floor, as the elevator needs a key to operate it.

In other Wendy Williams news, she is signaling that she’s ready to return to daytime television nearly four years after she took a leave of absence from The Wendy Williams Show.

The 60-year-old talk show host will be making her first national television appearance since her shocking dementia diagnosis, ABC revealed on Sunday.

Williams will be joining the ladies of The View on Friday, March 14, even as she wages a legal battle to end her guardianship.

Wendy has lately made attempts to speak out via phone from her assisted-living facility, where she has been kept on a restrictive memory unit that gives her few privileges and little right of movement.

Although Williams will be back on TV, it’s unclear if viewers will get to see her live, as ABC’s announcement indicates that she will be doing a phone interview with the View hosts, who include Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin.

However, Wendy has recently been seen live in some phone interviews, as she has conducted them while standing against the window to her room at the assisted-living facility, which has allowed a camera to catch her reactions in real time.

According to The View’s schedule, Wendy’s phone interview will also feature Ginalisa Monterroso, the founder and president of Connect Care Advisory Group.

In its schedule announcement, ABC boasted that The View is ‘America’s most-watched daytime talk show for the fifth consecutive season.
