In a new legal twist, Wendy Williams has been ordered to sit for a deposition in the ongoing lawsuit over Lifetime’s Where Is Wendy Williams? docuseries. Despite her diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia, a judge ruled that her testimony is necessary and must be taken before November 4. The deposition will be conducted as a “de bene esse” proceeding, allowing for accommodations given her medical condition. The case stems from a lawsuit filed by Wendy’s guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, who argues the series exploited Wendy’s vulnerability. Meanwhile, the court is also considering whether Morrissey should continue as Wendy’s guardian—or if guardianship is still needed at all.
