Wendy Williams delivers blunt 3-word plea in rare sighting amid guardianship battle

Wendy Williams had three words for the cameras during a rare New York City appearance.

On Wednesday, the former talk show host, 62, was spotted walking through the city, marking her first known public outing since February.

In a video, Williams was asked what she wanted to tell fans about "what she is going through." She fired back with three blunt words: "I want out!"

She carried a red handbag and walked alongside a male companion, chatting with him as they made their way through the city.

The terse response comes amid years of questions surrounding Williams’ health, personal life and court-appointed guardianship .

Williams was placed under the guardianship in 2022.

Her daytime talk show was canceled that same year after 13 seasons, and she has mostly stayed out of the public eye ever since.

"In 2023, after undergoing a battery of medical tests, Wendy was officially diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Aphasia, a condition affecting language and communication abilities, and frontotemporal dementia, a progressive disorder impacting behavior and cognitive functions, have already presented significant hurdles in Wendy's life." Williams has disputed that she has dementia.
