Wendy Williams' conservatorship set to expire by year-end, lawyer says.
A major development has emerged in the ongoing saga surrounding Wendy Williams' conservatorship. According to her attorney, Joe Tacopina, 59, the former TV host is expected to be released from her guardianship by the end of this year. This news comes after a top neurologist recently cleared Williams of having frontotemporal dementia, a condition she was diagnosed with two years ago.
Tacopina expressed confidence that Williams will be out of her conservatorship by December, stating, "The plan is this... there are guardianship attorneys... and we're watching and waiting, and they've assured Wendy by year's end she'll be out of guardianship." This development may signal an end to the long-standing court-ordered arrangement that has restricted Williams' freedom.
In 2022, Wells Fargo requested a hearing about Williams' well-being, alleging strong reason to believe she was a victim of undue influence and financial exploitation. However, following a series of tests conducted by a New York City-based medical doctor, the neurologist determined Williams did not have frontotemporal dementia.
Williams has been battling other health issues, including Graves' disease and lymphedema. Her second ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, recently filed a $250 million lawsuit seeking to end her conservatorship, claiming she was being confined against her will at an assisted living facility with restricted access to her phone and loved ones.
The court-ordered guardianship has raised questions about Williams' treatment and the motivations of those involved. As the situation unfolds, one thing is clear: Wendy Williams' path to freedom from her conservatorship is finally within reach.
