Wendy Williams, the longtime radio personality and former daytime talk show host, may soon regain control over her personal and financial affairs, according to her attorney Joe Tacopina. He told ABC’s Nightline that recent medical evaluations overturn her prior diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, calling the development “game, set, match.” Tacopina added that guardianship specialists have assured Williams that she is on track to be released from her conservatorship before the end of the year.

The renewed optimism follows an evaluation last month by a top neurologist, who determined that Williams, 61, does not have frontotemporal dementia — contradicting a diagnosis she received two years ago while under court-ordered guardianship. Williams reportedly completed a series of updated neurological tests administered by a New York City physician, with results sent to her legal team in late October. Tacopina has indicated plans to seek a jury trial and secure the first public release of these revised medical findings.

Williams was placed under guardianship in 2022 after Wells Fargo raised concerns that she was being financially exploited and improperly influenced. Since then, the former TV host (who also continues to battle Graves’ disease and lymphedema) has lived in assisted care, with her family previously claiming they were unable to reach her. The case has escalated further with a $250 million lawsuit filed by her ex-husband Kevin Hunter, who alleges Williams has been isolated and mistreated under court-appointed supervision. With the new medical assessment now challenging the original diagnosis, the fate of her conservatorship may be headed for a major turning point.
