Wendy Williams is making waves in her guardianship battle.

The former talk show host’s court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has reportedly informed a judge that she’d be open to having Williams, 60, undergo a new medical evaluation in light of her recent claims that she isn’t suffering from dementia.

Morrissey, who has been in charge of Williams’ care and finances since May 2022, told the court she wants to be transparent about Williams’ condition and believes it “would be prudent for [Williams] to undergo a new medical evaluation that will involve comprehensive neurological and psychological testing by a specialist in the field,” reported TMZ on Wednesday, citing a letter from the guardian’s attorney.

Morrissey reportedly informed the judge about “The Wendy Williams Show” alum’s recent interviews with “The Breakfast Club” and others, in which she declared she was “not cognitively impaired” and did not have frontotemporal dementia, despite her “care team” announcing her diagnosis in 2023.

Williams doubled down on her stance during another appearance on the show Wednesday, calling the accusations about her health “ridiculous.”

The guardian made sure to share that Williams was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia by doctors at Weill Cornell Medical Center. She noted that it was Justice Lisa Sokoloff, the judge overseeing Williams’ guardianship case, who ruled her “incapacitated.”

Morrissey also addressed the lawsuit against A&E over the Lifetime docuseries “Where Is Wendy Williams?” that was filed ahead of its airdate last year.

The guardian informed the judge of her desire to put a pin in the ongoing legal battle with the network.

“I don’t want that kind of money,” Williams told Charlamagne tha God of Morrissey’s lawsuit. “I’ve worked with Lifetime several times. You know what I’m saying? Enough that I would love to do something with Lifetime again.”

“They are good people to me and I am good people to them.”

While Morrissey has no objection to Williams getting a new medical evaluation, she warned that the results would likely not change anything in the guardianship case — adding she has “no interest” in going after A&E if the results prove that Williams can proceed on her own.

“The Guardian has no interest in pursuing litigation in the extremely unlikely event that the new medical examination finds that [Williams] somehow now has the mental capacity to direct the A&E matter,” the letter read, per TMZ.

Williams recently fired her lawyer in her guardianship battle after the attorney reportedly failed to file paperwork for a trial about whether her guardian was necessary after Williams asked to do so.

Last month, the TV star made headlines when she revealed she’s living in a New York City wellness facility that’s more like a luxury “prison,” calling her situation “emotional abuse.”

“My life is f–ked up,” she told “The Breakfast Club” on Jan. 16. “I feel like I’m in prison. I’m definitely isolated. I keep the door closed, I watch TV, listen to the radio and look out the window. Sit here as my life goes by.”
