Wendy Williams Under Police Escort to Hospital for Guardianship Review
NEW YORK – Wendy Williams was escorted to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City by police as part of an “independent examination” to assess whether her cognitive functions are adequate to terminate her guardianship, according to a report from TMZ.
Details Surrounding Williams’ Guardianship
On Monday, officers from the NYPD visited the assisted living facility where Williams is currently residing. It’s reported that she feels like a “prisoner,” unable to leave the premises without permission due to the legal restraints of her guardianship.
NYPD Investigation
The NYPD is looking into the situation to determine if Williams is being “effectively held prisoner” in the facility, as stated by TMZ. The police inquiry raises questions about the conditions of her guardianship and her overall well-being.
Background of the Guardianship
Wendy Williams was placed under guardianship several years ago primarily due to her struggles with alcohol addiction. The New York courts define guardianship as a legal situation where a court authorizes an individual or organization to make decisions on behalf of someone who cannot do so for themselves.
Health Improvements and Concerns
There are claims from Harvey Levin of TMZ that Williams may have been misdiagnosed and has shown significant improvement since achieving sobriety. A source revealed that she has reportedly been confined to her room and allowed outside only twice in 30 days. Levin has stated that during a recent interview, Williams expressed feelings of being trapped, noting she lacks internet access and receives few visitors.
“She rightly feels like a prisoner,” Levin said in his comments regarding her living conditions.
Current Situation
There has yet to be any independent confirmation of the circumstances surrounding Williams’ police escort, and the investigation by authorities is ongoing. FOX 5 NY will continue to provide updates as this story develops.
