US EditionWendy Williams’ Conservatorship Could Be Terminated Before the end...
Wendy Williams’ lawyer cites new medical findings overturning her dementia diagnosis and legal assurances that conservatorship will end by December, restoring her autonomy.
- Joe Tacopina told ABC's `Nightline` that Wendy Williams, former TV host and radio personality, `will be out of conservatorship` by the end of the year.
- Last month, a top neurologist found Williams does not have frontotemporal dementia and sent results to her legal team in late October.
- Her ex-husband Kevin Hunter filed a $250 million lawsuit claiming Williams was confined at Coterie assisted living, after Wells Fargo flagged undue influence in 2022.
- Tacopina told Page Six he will be demanding a jury trial and said guardianship attorneys are coordinating legal steps to end Williams' conservatorship.
- Williams has long said she wants to end the guardianship and told interviewers she passed a cognitive test `with flying colors`, which she said proved she no longer needed it, potentially allowing her to start 2026 free of conservatorship.
