Wendy Williams smiles through the storm.
For the first time since her mentor’s recent claims that she is “permanently incapacitated,” the retired talk show host was spotted in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday as she grabbed a bite to eat at Shawn’s Oysters with her nephew, Travis Finney. So everyone smiles.
In an Instagram video shared by blogger Anton Edwards, Williams, 60, is seen dressed to impress in an army green jacket, bold red lipstick and glamorous accessories.
The rare sighting comes as Williams faces legal battles related to her mental health and a controversial Lifetime documentary. Where is Wendy Williams?.
Her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, alleged in a court filing last November that Williams was cognitively impaired and that the network exploited her during filming, paying her only $82,000. While earning millions.
The filing also revealed that Williams has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, which affects his memory and behavior. Morrissey has accused A+E Networks of failing to obtain proper consent for Williams to participate in the project, a claim the network has denied, arguing that it was Morrissey’s responsibility to protect her. is
