Wendy Williams Diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia and Frontotemporal Dementia

Wendy Williams faces new challenges after being diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia last year, her medical team revealed. These conditions have introduced significant hurdles in her life, yet Williams continues to embrace her journey with resilience.

Despite the diagnosis, she retains her sense of humor and independence, managing many aspects of her daily life. Frontotemporal dementia, characterized by the degeneration of the brain’s frontal and temporal lobes, manifests in speech difficulties, emotional instability, and personality shifts. To navigate these complexities, Williams is under the care of specialists at Weill Cornell Medicine.
