Wendy Williams passed a psychiatric capacity test with a perfect score after pleading for help from the fifth floor of an assisted living facility and clarifies her mental state
Wendy Williams has broken her silence after a psychiatrist’s examination on Monday revealed that her mental capacity is fully intact.
Sources tell TMZ that Wendy aced a “capacity test,” scoring a perfect 10 out of 10. The test, which asked 10 questions to assess her awareness and orientation, showed that Wendy answered every single one correctly.
The former talk show host, 60, was getting emotional during a call to TMZ, hours after her temporary financial guardian Sabrina Morrissey spoke out to set the record straight about her claims she “imprisoned” her at an assisted living facility in New York called Coterie.
Wendy, who had previously likened the assisted living facility to being in a “prison,” was quickly taken to Lenox Hill Hospital on Monday for a psychiatric evaluation after she was threw a note out of her window pleading for help.
In an interview with TMZ, she denied claims that she was “allowed” to leave the Coterie to go shopping and further stated that her family must get Sabrina’s approval to visit her.
She said: “It is a lie. They are lying people. I’m sorry but I’ve had it up to here. Thank goodness I can speak.
“What’s more restrictive than the Coterie? The memory unit on the fifth floor. And what is doing on with the Judge [Lisa Sokoloff] speaking to me in such a way.”
When asked if she was worried about being transferred to a more restrictive unit, she replied: “I am, and don’t make me start crying. Because I can laugh and cry at the drop of a dime.
“It makes me very nervous. Let me be honest with you. I’m scared of that mess. I am. I don’t know what could be tighter than where I am, but I have to get out of guardian and I have to do it immediately.”
When asked why the judge and the guardian want to keep her in the facility, Wendy told Harvey that she would tell him “behind the scenes,” but Ginalisa Monterroso, a caretaker who is independent of Williams’ guardianship who was also on the phone with Wendy, said she thinks it was because of the Lifetime lawsuit.
It’s unclear if Monterroso is an employee of the assisted-living facility or what her immediate connection to Williams is.
Last month in February, Wendy revealed that she has stepped outside only twice in the space of a month.
Good Day New York host Rosanna Scotto spoke with Wendy yesterday morning. Rosanna said: “You know what I don’t understand Wendy is that they’re locking you up like you committed a crime.”
Williams replied: “Yes! I have to tell you something. And you know, I’m on the fifth floor. It’s called the memory unit. This is a floor, you know, you don’t remember anything. Like really? And as far as me being able to go outside, I’m not allowed. You know, I have to stay in this building.”
Towards the end of the interview, she shared that leaving her guardianship is ‘the number one most important thing.
