Wendy Williams Finally Earns Party Time Amid Disputed Dementia Diagnosis

Wendy Williams had a wild weekend celebrating her niece, Alex Finnie's birthday, after allegedly being denied access to go out with friends.

The former talk show host is embroiled in an ongoing battle to end her guardianship following claims of emotional abuse, isolation, and more against her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey.

While the guardian claims Wendy Williams is unable to cater to her needs due to frontotemporal dementia (FTD), the entertainer has repeatedly shut down the claims. A top neurologist also backed up her stance, refuting the dementia diagnosis.

According to the latest sighting of Williams, she and her niece partied the night away on Saturday, December 6. They were photographed leaving Brooklyn Chop House in downtown Manhattan just before midnight after arriving around 8 p.m. ET.

For the occasion, Williams donned a large black fur coat over a top and denim shorts combo. She paired the number with sheer stockings and black fur boots, adding a splash of color with her bright red lipstick.

Williams looked happy, as seen in the pictures obtained by The Daily Mail, smiling at the photographers while locking arms with her niece. A source also told the outlet that the duo has stepped out together to celebrate Finnie's birthday.

Williams and Finnie's joint outings continued with another reunion on Sunday, December 7. The birthday girl shared a video capturing her and her aunt at the Italian restaurant Fresco by Scotto in midtown Manhattan.

The clip, shared on Instagram, captured Finnie receiving a birthday tribute from the restaurant's employees. She sat beside Williams at the dinner table, with the latter clapping and grinning from ear to ear as her niece got honored.

Finnie thanked the restaurant in her post's caption, where she expressed gratitude for God's blessings and mercies. "Surrounded by love! Nothing better. Here's to a new year! Thank you for all the birthday wishes," she wrote in part.

The comment section of Finnie's post was filled with congratulations for the birthday girl and love for Williams, whom many were happy to see. "WENDY LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!" a fan declared. Another agreed, writing: "Good to see our girl, Wendy, out, smiling, & looking radiant!"

"Always happy to see Auntie Wendy!" a fellow supporter chimed. Others applauded Finnie for standing by Williams' side throughout her guardianship battle, with an IG user noting that she deserved an award for all her efforts to free her aunt.

"I just have to say you are such a Calvary energy of a woman, the way you have fought for your auntie and the way you carry yourself," a fan penned in part. The love and support for Williams and Finnie continued, with more fans wishing them happiness.

Williams' party weekend comes weeks after she made waves for not seeing her friends due to her guardian's whims. The Blast covered the story, reporting that sources claimed the former talk show host had been planning to celebrate her new medical evaluation.

As stated, a top neurologist disputed the dementia narrative, arguing that Williams did not exhibit signs of someone with the degenerative condition. In fact, she has displayed a remarkable recovery after obtaining sobriety and wanted to celebrate the results with friends.

However, sources noted that Williams was stopped from leaving her New York living facility on November 19 because her bodyguard and niece weren't available. Williams allegedly suspected that her guardian had gotten rid of the guard behind her back to isolate her from her friends.

Sources claimed Williams suspected Morrissey because the latter had previously dismissed her bodyguard without telling her. "They don't keep her in the loop. Morrissey doesn't want her to go out," sources alleged.

Despite the alleged interference, Williams' pals still managed to speak to her on the phone after meeting up without her. The group included comedian Luenell, Williams' former show producer Suzanne Bass, and Max Tucci.

Sources claimed that the group encouraged Williams to stay strong over the phone while ranting about their mutual hatred for "the Sabrina b-tch." The group allegedly believed Morrissey blocked their outing because she was "pissed off" by Williams' freedom.

Will Wendy Williams get to enjoy more unrestricted outings in the future?
