Wendy Williams has scored a major breakthrough in her fight for freedom after she aced a mental capacity test. Pictures of the talk show host leaving the institute she had been kept in went viral yesterday. Williams told the hosts of The Breakfast Club that she had alerted the police, who then came to her rescue and took her to the hospital for a checkup. The results showed that Williams is alert and not incapacitated, as previously reported.

Wendy Williams Passes Mental Capacity Test

Police took Wendy Williams for a mental capacity test yesterday, March 10, 2025, after she called their attention. The media personality dropped a note that alerted the authorities and made them visit her assisted living complex. They took her by ambulance to Lennox Hill Hospital, where she did a psychological examination. Wendy Williams aced the mental capacity test, scoring 10 out of 10. According to TMZ, the questions would help determine whether the show host is alert and oriented.

The outlet notes that Williams’s test may have been the Abbreviated Mental Test Score. The test, which includes 10 questions, is used to determine the possibility of dementia in elderly patients. It consists of questions like the subject’s date of birth, address, and current president. Each answer carries 1 point, and a score of 6 or below indicates the possibility of dementia or delirium.

Wendy Williams’ Fight For Freedom

Williams also detailed her and her caregiver, Gina’s fight to take the mental capacity test. Gina, president of Connect Care Advisory Group, accompanied her to the hospital. Gina is not associated with her conservatorship. She said on The Breakfast Club that they wrote a letter to Adult Protective Services to report Williams’ isolation.

Gina said:

“The police came into the room. Wendy gave me the phone, and I pleaded with the police as if Wendy was my child: “Please, you need to get her off this floor. She’s confined.”

Williams interjected, saying:

“I told them I am not incapacitated as I’ve been accused, and this floor that I live on is the memory unit. The people who live there don’t remember anything, unlike me. Like why am I here?”

Gina added that she pleaded with the police not to leave Williams alone in the building.

“I insisted and pleaded with the officer on the phone that you have to get Wendy out of here,” she said and added, “We have a guardian who is telling the whole building and the world that she’s incapacitated, and she needs to be on a locked unit, and I said, “You cannot walk out of that building without Wendy, and she told me, “I promise I will not. I will bring her home.”

Wendy Williams Contesting Guardianship

Wendy Williams’ mental capacity is headed to the judge in charge of her guardianship case. The TV host came under court-ordered guardianship after Wells Fargo alerted the court about Williams’ possible cognitive impairment. The court placed her in Sabrina Morrisey’s care, who has been in charge since Williams got a frontotemporal dementia diagnosis. However, Wendy Williams has always disputed the diagnosis, which eventually led to her taking the mental capacity test.

The media personality received help after she threw a note that read “Help! Wendy!!” from her fifth-story window. She also waved her arms at a New York Post reporter afterward and was seen speaking on the phone. This matches her story of talking with Gina on the phone when the police arrived around 11:15 am.

The result of Wendy Williams’ mental capacity test proves that she has been right all along about being mentally sound. Hopefully, she will receive the assistance she needs to leave the facility and live with her family.
