Police were called to do a wellness check around 11.15 a.m., according to reports from The Post. Shortly after, Williams tossed a piece of paper to a photographer from the window of her fifth-story room at a New York City assisted living facility, which included a handwritten message that simply read, “Help! Wendy!!”

As seen in photos and video obtained by the outlet, the star was seen walking to the ambulance on her while being escorted by a handful of police. Police assisted her as she pulled herself into the ambulance.
This wellness check comes just one month after TMZ reported that the 60-year-old, who has continued to deny her frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, formally asked a judge to end her guardianship. Williams claimed in the alleged affidavit that she has “regained [the] capacity” to function on her own without her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. The former talk show host was “re-evaluated” by a doctor in a new medical exam on Feb. 18, when sources told TMZ that if Williams’ request to end the guardianship was denied, she would “demand” a trial by jury.
In January, the radio legend called into The Breakfast Club, where she insisted she is not “cognitively impaired.” During her eye-opening interview, Wendy told listeners she is “trapped” with elderly patients, who are not her “cup of tea” before explaining just how isolated she is.

“I am definitely isolated,” she explained. “I keep the door closed. I watch TV. I listen to the radio. I watch the window. I sit here, and my life goes by.”
The Daytime Emmy nominee has been away from the public eye since leaving her eponymous talk show in 2021. The following year, her court-ordered guardianship made headlines, with her Lifetime documentary highlighting what the cognitive issues that reportedly led to her departure.
Williams is set to do a phone interview with The View on Friday, March 14, where we will hopefully hear more about her pleas for help.
