Paparazzi saves Wendy

Wendy Williams was taken from her assisted -living home by ambulance after she dropped a note to paparazzi pleading for help. 

The former talk show host, 60, is battling to end her court-ordered guardianship and was escorted by police and walked to the ambulance on her own.

US skinner website Page Six reports Williams was in her fifth-story room at a New York City assisted-living facility on Monday when she tossed a handwritten note out of the window.

The message read: "Help! Wendy!!"

Police arrived at around 11.15am for a wellness check on the broadcaster and photos showed her wearing a T-shirt, black leggings and a long sweater as she left the facility looking sombre.

Officers assisted her as she climbed into the ambulance.

Last month, celebrity news outlet TMZ reported that Williams, who has denied having fronto-temporal dementia, formally requested a judge to terminate her guardianship.

Williams, who had previously fired her court-appointed attorney, claimed in an affidavit she has “regained (the) capacity” to function without her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey.

In February, she was scheduled for a medical examination to reassess her condition.

Sources told TMZ if her request to end the guardianship was denied, she would "demand" a jury trial.

Williams has been largely out of the public eye since leaving The Wendy Williams Show in 2021, with her guardianship becoming a major topic of discussion the following year.

She was scheduled to do a phone interview with The View on Friday, 14 March.
