New York, NY – Former television host Wendy Williams, 60, is set to make a guest appearance on “The View” this Friday, according to the talk show’s guest schedule for the week. She will join co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, and Alyssa Farah Griffin in a phone call during the show.
During the call, Williams will be accompanied by Ginalisa Monterroso, the founder and president of Connect Care Advisory Group, a group that assists patients and caregivers in navigating their benefits. Williams’ lawyer declined to comment when contacted by The Post regarding the upcoming appearance.
This interview follows an incident where Williams was reportedly seen throwing a handwritten note out of her fifth-story window at her New York assisted living facility, calling for help. Police responded to the scene and took her to Lenox Hill Hospital, where she underwent a psychological examination known as a “capacity test” and reportedly scored a perfect 10 out of 10.
Despite a prior diagnosis of aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, doctors at the hospital did not find any indication that Williams had been misdiagnosed. She has been residing in the facility’s memory care unit while seeking to end her court-mandated guardianship.
Williams’ loved ones previously launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for her legal team amid the ongoing guardianship battle. In a call to “The Breakfast Club,” her niece Alex Finnie disputed claims of her aunt’s cognitive impairment and expressed desire for freedom from the guardianship.
In her call, Williams likened the guardianship to a “prison” where she felt isolated and lacked access to communication and the internet. She emphasized that she did not believe she was cognitively impaired and expressed frustration with her current living situation.
The GoFundMe campaign detailed the challenges Williams faced under the guardianship, highlighting the isolation and lack of support network she experienced in New York. The campaign sought public support to help bring Williams home and alleviate her feelings of loneliness and disconnection.
Overall, Williams’ upcoming appearance on “The View” and ongoing struggle to end her guardianship shine a light on the challenges she faces and the support she continues to seek from her loved ones and the public.
