Wendy Williams Attends Son's Graduation in Rare Public Appearance

The outing is the first for the former Wendy Williams Show host since it was confirmed that her health has continued to decline over the past year.

In a legal filing obtained by TMZ, Wendy's guardian said she "has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated."

Following the news of her diagnosis in February, Wendy shared her thanks for the outpouring of support she got from her fans.

"I have immense gratitude for the love and kind words I have received after sharing my diagnosis of Aphasia and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD)," she said in a statement to E! News at the time. "Let me say, wow! Your response has been overwhelming."

She added, "I want to also thank the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration for their kind words of support and their extraordinary efforts to raise awareness of FTD."

Wendy confirmed that she would continue needing "personal space," but that her fans' "positivity and encouragement are deeply appreciated."

To that end, the TV host has stayed mostly out of the spotlight since ending her show in 2022, although she and Kevin paid a visit to a holistic wellness store in her home state of New Jersey on Aug. 19.

In a since-deleted photo from the outing, Wendy could be seen rocking long, orange hair, a navy shirt and white boots as she held a shopping bag and a bouquet of roses.
