That's awful for her and family.

 

I hope and wish she is shown the same amount of grace and sympathy she would have shown to another celeb who was in her condition, amen.

I love Wendy and am sorry to hear this. Been listening since Power 99 days and after work on WBLS when I lived in the city.

Nooo Wendy, this is so sad. Whether you liked her or not for being controversial I don't think she was a bad person and she honestly brought so much entertainment and laughter. In fact her best segments weren't even the gossip ones but the ones with her audience and she gave really thoughtful advices

so ironic, just like they erased her to be forgotten, she'll also forget who she was... 🫢

Sad to hear. She’s had a lot of hurdles and her past drug use, alcohol use, and the traumatic events she’s gone through in the past several years have all caught up with her sadly. Hope she’s able to enjoy the remainder of her life comfortably

This woman has said so many vile things about other people but she still doesn’t deserve this. Hope she recovers

This is the worst :(

 

I always looked forward to watching her after classes and work.. her haters always insisted shes some horrible bitter person but other than a few mishaps she only spoke facts and had such a lovable, wholesome personality.. she always kept it real and was so down to earth.


Wendy gave us a lifetime supply of legendary kiis.

 

This hurts alot but we will always remember Wendy, her inspiring story and her humor!

This is sad to hear, I had a feeling something like this was going on with her for the last few years.

Early 50s is extremely young for dementia onset. I wonder if it was triggered by some kind of brain damage.

 

It's not that unusual for this kind of dementia (frontotemporal dementia, aphasia). The most common ages that it begins is from 45 - 65. She is 59 now and her noticeable cognitive decline started at least five or six years ago.

i was just getting my life and kii's from her dragging jay z after solange kicked him 10 years ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_yV_eMVOoM). this is so sad to hear but we all thought and heard rumours... 

 

ngl, it's kind ironic she got aphasia after spewing poison about others but no one deserves sth like this. i'm excited for the doc, to see her again, hopefully she'll be doing well.

 

miss our auntie wendy :weeps:

So this is the upcoming documetary mentioned in the article.. why would they air this? This just seems like total exploitation now.

 

I really, really hope that the family didn't just choose to disclose this sensitive diagnosis today solely to promote the Lifetime doc coming out this weekend :(

That’s awful. You’re in our hearts Wendy. One of the main pillars of the stan world and one of the most impactful and legendary talk show hosts ever.

A bit much for the N-bombers (let karma tear them apart!) but the other one deserves a lot worse than this

But aphasia is caused by brain damage?

Wendy was a horrible person,who didn't respect people's privacy and thought of their suffering as entertainment. It is exactly what she deserves.

she lived a hard life and then when she got older was under extreme stress with being the spotlight, doing THAT show everyday, and then personally with what happened with her husband. I noticed that's when she started to really fall apart :(

 

WENDY WE LOVE YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN STILL THRIVE BABY
