Former talk show host Wendy Williams took steady aim at her court-appointed guardianship in an interview with “The View” on Friday, March 14, insisting that she is not cognitively impaired and does not know why she is being kept in a “memory unit” at an assisted living facility.

“Get off my neck,” Williams, 60, said of her guardian and the judge who ordered the guardianship in a phone interview with “The View” co-hosts. She added that she would never want to work with them again and just wants to “move on with my life.”

Last year, Williams’ guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, filed a memo saying she had become “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated” after a diagnosis of early onset dementia.

Williams said her movements are being restricted by the guardianship she has been under since 2022, adding that she wants to terminate it immediately.
