Wendy Williams is making a return to television—at least in a virtual capacity. 

The former talk show host is scheduled to call into The View this Friday, as confirmed by the show’s official guest listings.

She will join the panel of co-hosts, including Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, and Alyssa Farrah Griffin,

in what is expected to be a highly anticipated conversation.

Williams, 60, won’t be appearing alone. She will be joined by Ginalisa Monterroso, the founder and president of Connect Care Advisory Group,

an organization that helps patients and caregivers navigate benefits.

While Williams’ representatives have not yet commented on the nature of her appearance, her participation comes at a tumultuous time in her life, marked by ongoing legal battles, health concerns, and public cries for help.

Wendy Williams’ Public Plea for Assistance

Just days before her scheduled interview on The View, Williams made headlines for a distressing public incident. On Monday morning, she was seen dropping a handwritten note from the window of her New York City assisted living facility, pleading for help. The note, which simply read, “Help! Wendy!!”, sparked immediate concern.

Authorities conducted a wellness check at the residence and ultimately transported Williams to Lenox Hill Hospital by ambulance. Reports indicate that despite the alarming nature of the incident, Williams was found to be “alert and oriented.” In fact, sources claim she passed a psychiatric evaluation with a perfect score, demonstrating full mental capacity.

Legal Struggles and Guardianship Battle

Williams has been under a court-ordered guardianship since 2022, a situation she has been fighting to overturn. The former Wendy Williams Show host was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a condition that was publicly disclosed in 2023. However, Williams has consistently denied being cognitively impaired, arguing that she is fully capable of managing her own affairs.

In recent legal moves, Williams filed to remove her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, and took steps to fire her court-appointed attorney. If her request for a change in guardianship is denied, Williams has stated her intent to demand a trial by jury.

Comparing Assisted Living to a “Prison”

Williams’ struggles with her living situation have been well-documented. In a January interview on The Breakfast Club, she compared her assisted living facility to a “prison,” further fueling concerns about her well-being. At the time, she appeared alongside her niece, Alex Finnie, who supported her claims that she was not mentally unfit.

Despite her absence from television since the conclusion of The Wendy Williams Show in 2021, Williams’ life has remained in the spotlight. Last year, Lifetime aired Where Is Wendy Williams?, a documentary that examined her struggles and the circumstances surrounding her conservatorship.

What to Expect from Her View Appearance

Williams’ upcoming call-in to The View marks one of her most significant media appearances in recent years. Given her ongoing battle for independence and the recent dramatic events, it is expected that she will address her struggles head-on. The presence of Ginalisa Monterroso also suggests that the discussion may touch on patient advocacy, guardianship rights, and healthcare access.

Fans and supporters will no doubt be watching closely as Williams shares her side of the story. Whether this marks the beginning of a media comeback or simply another chapter in her ongoing battle remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain—Wendy Williams is not staying silent.
