Wendy Williams , the former daytime talk show host, has been placed under a conservatorship.

She has denied having dementia and said that she feels like a prisoner.

Williams rose to the highest rungs of her field as a bawdy and unabashed chronicler of starry turmoil.

Williams was diagnosed by doctors at Weill Cornell Medical Center , according to one of Morrissey ’s court filings, and ruled incapacitated by a judge.

Morrissey has said she has “no interest” in pursuing her suit “in the extremely unlikely event” that the new examination finds that Williams has the mental capacity to oversee it.

Sabrina Morrissey is white, and online backlash has sometimes emphasized the racial dynamic between her and a highly visible Black woman in her care.

Morrissey enjoys the practical and interpersonal challenges that accompany cases such as Williams ’s.

“As a guardian, you are a fiduciary,” Morrissey said.
