Aphasia and frontotemporal dementia were discovered in Wendy Williams Hunter prior to her apparent retirement from public life last year.
Williams has not made any formal statements on her career’s future.
From 2008 to 2021, she presented The Wendy Williams Show, a widely syndicated discussion show on television.
Before television, Williams worked as a radio host and DJ and gained notoriety as a shock jock in New York City.
In addition to being the focus of the 2006 VH1 reality television series The Wendy Williams Experience, which aired events surrounding her radio show, she became well-known for her on-air altercations with celebrities.
In a rare public appearance, Williams was present at her son Kevin Jr.’s graduation from Florida International University on Thursday.
