Wendy Williams is expected to abdicate in a lifetime documentary despite his frontotemporal dementia and aphasia diagnosis.
The judge who presides Williams’ case against Lifetime and its parent company A&E granted the network’s request to step down the former talk show host in a filing obtained by people on Tuesday.
According to the outlet, Williams is expected to take part in the “Bene Essen” depository. This occurs when circumstances such as “memories of age, health, or decline” can lead to a decrease in the ability of a witness to testify.
The deposition must occur by November 4th and is not within three hours.
Williams, 61, is permitted to testify remotely. However, people are limited to less than two lawyers in this case and one of Williams’ lawyers in the case of her guardianship to the room.
She is also expected to receive a sufficient break, and her testimony should not last more than three days.
Williams’ current diagnosis of dementia continues to lock her in her guardian under her guardian Sabrina Morrissey, but the judge ruled that the former radio personality “will not isolate her from providing testimony in this case.”
“In this case, it is up to the ju to decide what weight to give to (Williams’) depositary testimony,” read the legal document.
“The lawyer suing A&E said on September 5th that he heard that Docusary is so scary that it will no longer be broadcast anywhere. The lawyers for A&E later admitted they defeated the series, claiming they didn’t respect the legal process.”
A Williams representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Page 6.
Williams first launched a lawsuit against the network in February 2024.
When Williams’ legal guardian filed documents against the company claiming “where is Wendy Williams?”, the documentary attempts to stop the release of a Morrissey film acting in her abilities without first getting proper clearance from the Guardian.
Morrissey argued in the complaint that Williams had no legal or mental ability to approve participation in the documentary of the time.
Williams claims she is not cognitively disabled.
The former talk show host recently took the second round of cognitive tests in August, telling sources she confirmed her previous diagnosis of dementia and aphasia.
However, Williams told Page 6 that she and her lawyers were “very upset” about her health report, emphasizing that she “will get out of guardianship.”
