Wendy Williams might not actually have frontotemporal dementia, according to her lawyer Joe Tacopina. He went on Nightline and said a specialist named Dr. Samuel E. Gandy checked her out recently, and the neurologist thinks her past issues came from drinking heavily instead of the brain disease she was supposedly diagnosed with back when the conservatorship started.
Tacopina claims Williams had alcohol-related brain damage when she was placed under court supervision, and he mentioned she was dealing with serious drinking problems at the time. He says she's sober these days, and some medical people think that kind of damage can get better when someone quits drinking, though sometimes the harm sticks around permanently.
The whole thing has people questioning whether the guardianship should still be happening, especially since Williams has been spotted out and about at events like New York Fashion Week. Her court-appointed guardian denies doing anything sketchy and says the court watches over everything.
