I don't have frontal temporal dementia, you know what I'm saying?
00:03
It's disgusting.
00:04
The drama continues between Wendy Williams and her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey.
00:09
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Williams spoke out about her health,
00:12
claiming that she is not incapacitated by dementia.
00:16
I'm dealing with these court people and my guardian person, and that is the big deal.
00:22
So you know what? I don't have frontal temporal dementia, you know what I'm saying?
00:26
It's disgusting. That is a very rare thing for anybody to have.
00:31
You understand what I'm saying?
00:33
It's like one of those types of things where I'd be a blibbering idiot,
00:38
like I can't take a shower, I can't dress myself, I can't speak, I can't listen.
00:43
Now her guardian, Morrissey, has requested a new medical evaluation.
00:47
The court filing for the request came just hours after the former talk show host
00:52
spoke on the radio program.
00:54
In the legal filings obtained by Access Hollywood,
00:57
Morrissey says in these statements, Williams has indicated that in her opinion,
01:02
she is not suffering from dementia and is not incapacitated.
01:06
Morrissey is seeking a new medical evaluation that will involve comprehensive
01:11
neurological and psychological testing by a specialist in the field.
01:15
During her appearance on the show, Williams also addressed a lawsuit
01:18
filed against A&E Television Networks, Lifetime Entertainment and other
01:23
affiliates after docu-series Where Is Wendy Williams aired in February of last year.
01:29
Listen, I've been in this guardianship for this long of an amount of time,
01:33
and now A&E Lifetime, this lawsuit, please, I don't want that.
01:38
I don't want a dime from that. I don't want any part of that.
01:41
You know what I'm saying?
01:42
They insist on me telling everybody that I have frontal temporal dementia.
01:47
It's disgusting that I have a fake frontal temporal dementia.
01:51
It's fake.
01:52
Yeah, especially if somebody is trying to file a lawsuit on your behalf,
01:56
and they're using that to try to win this lawsuit against A&E,
01:58
which you say you don't want no parts of the lawsuit.
02:02
Exactly.
02:02
In an earlier filing obtained by Access Hollywood, the defendants in the suit
02:06
claim that the documentary was conceived of with Williams, quote, consent,
02:11
input and participation prior to her diagnosis and guardianship.
02:16
The latest court papers address Williams' new comments and note that she, quote,
02:21
appeared to indicate that she does not want to proceed with the action.
02:24
Morrissey added that she has no interest in pursuing further litigation
02:28
if in the extremely unlikely event that the new medical examination
02:32
finds that Williams somehow now has the mental capacity to direct the lawsuit.
