Wendy Williams, the former TV talk show host and shock jock, has been diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, her medical team announced.
In a news release Thursday, her team said Williams, 59, received her diagnosis last year and that the conditions have already "presented significant hurdles in Wendy's life."
"Wendy is still able to do many things for herself," her team said, noting that she is appreciative of the kind thoughts and wishes being sent to her. "Most importantly she maintains her trademark sense of humor and is receiving the care she requires to make sure she is protected and that her needs are addressed."
