WENDY 'BETTER THAN EVER'

Wendy Williams is said to be doing “better than ever”.

The troubled former chat show host celebrated her 61st birthday last Friday and sources say she is now feeling optimistic about what lies ahead amid her battler to end her court-ordered guardianship.

An insider told Page Six: “[She’s] better than ever. She was talking [at her birthday party] about how she’s ready to travel once she gets out.”

Wendy marked her 61st with a dinner at the historic Delmonico’s in Lower Manhattan.

The former Wendy Williams Show presenter, who has faced a series of public health struggles in recent years, arrived without her motorised scooter — a notable change from previous outings.

Wendy, who has been under a legal guardianship since 2022, is currently living at the Coterie in Hudson Yards, a luxury assisted living facility.

She has referred to the residence as a “luxury prison”, according to Page Six, and is understood to be seeking legal release from the guardianship arrangement.

Two of Wendy’s attorneys joined her for her birthday meal, along with her former producers from The Wendy Williams Show, Suzanne Bass and Brendan Higgins.

A source added to Page Six: “She got emotional when she blew out her candles.

“Everyone seemed happy to see her and she looked amazing.”

Wendy was said to have appeared in high spirits throughout the night, dining on a lavish spread that included seafood towers, caviar, Caesar salad and filet mignon.
