Female Star Has Same Disease As Bruce Willis

By Austin Michael Feb 22, 2024 | 6:55 PM

Primary progressive aphasia. It’s the disease that took away Bruce Willis’s ability to communicate. Wendy Williams has been diagnosed with that and frontotemporal dementia. It’s been known for a couple years that she’s had health issues, but it was finally diagnosed last year. From what I understand, Wendy has an unnamed caretaker now and is receiving medical treatments.

It’ll be a big part of a documentary about Wendy called “Where Is Wendy Williams” that comes out Saturday. It’ll focus on her life starting with the last couple years of her TV show. “Where Is Wendy Williams” will be on Lifetime as a two night special.
