According to Harvey Levin, the executive producer of TMZ, Wendy Williams sounds exactly the same as she did ten years ago and shows no signs of having a handicap. Levin made this statement after spending 90 minutes on the phone with her.
Harvey was surprised to learn that the individual he talked with is under a guardianship that has taken away her personal and financial independence. Her guardianship’s attorney claims that she is permanently incapacitated and has frontal lobe dementia. However, she was clear-headed, well-spoken, outspoken, and engaged, which is a completely different image.
Wendy did not hesitate or make any mistakes in her decision. Charlamagne Tha God was also on the line, and Harvey agrees with his judgment that Wendy is not impaired at all.
Wendy has had issues with drug misuse in the past, but she was obviously sober when she chatted with TMZ over the phone. It raises a critical question: when the court placed Wendy under guardianship, was it more about her alcohol use than her medical condition?
Wendy has both good days and terrible days, according to Roberta Kaplan, one of the lawyers who is defending the guardianship in its case against the producers of the “Where Is Wendy Williams?” series. It might be a coincidence, but she seemed to be doing well today, she appeared to be doing well yesterday during a number of interviews, and she also appeared to be doing well when Charlamagne talked with her numerous times over the previous week or so.

The issue is whether Harvey is wrong to suppose that Wendy would be better off as a free person with a sober coach than of being detained in an assisted living facility under a tight guardianship.
