Wendy Williams Shows No Signs of Disability, Says TMZ Executive Producer Harvey Levin
During a recent 90-minute phone conversation with Wendy Williams, TMZ Executive Producer Harvey Levin was shocked to find that the talk show host sounded just like she did 10 years ago, showing no hint of disability. Despite being under a guardianship that has stripped her of personal and financial freedom, Wendy appeared lucid, articulate, opinionated, and completely with it.
Contrary to claims made by her guardianship’s attorney, who alleges that Wendy is permanently disabled with frontal lobe dementia, Harvey and Charlamagne Tha God, who was also on the call, both agreed that Wendy is far from being disabled. There was no lapse in judgment or hesitation in her responses during the conversation.
Speculation on Wendy’s Guardianship
Wendy has a history of struggling with substance abuse, but during the phone call with TMZ, she appeared to be clean and coherent. This raises questions about whether the decision to place her under guardianship was more related to alcohol issues rather than a medical condition.
Roberta Kaplan, the attorney for the guardianship, mentioned that Wendy has good days and bad days. However, recent interactions with Wendy, including multiple interviews and conversations with Charlamagne, suggest that she has been consistently fine and coherent.
Is Wendy Better Off Without Guardianship?
Harvey Levin raised the question of whether Wendy would benefit more from having a sober coach as a free individual rather than being confined to an assisted living facility under a strict guardianship. The recent interactions with Wendy seem to support the idea that she may not require the level of supervision currently imposed on her.
As the debate continues over Wendy’s guardianship and her mental capacity, it remains to be seen what the future holds for the talk show host.
