Wendy Williams' family has revealed that her early-onset dementia may have been aided by heavy alcohol use. Last week, representatives for the 59-year-old talk show host revealed that she had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which causes the brain's personality and behavior centers to shrink. The illness is the same one that Die Hard actor Bruce Willis, 68, suffered from, and it most commonly affects children under the age of 60. Doctors told Kevin Hunter, Jr., that his mother's heavy alcohol use had started to impact 'her headspace and her brain,' according to Williams' son, Kevin Hunter, Jr.. The 23-year-old said, 'I was able to learn more about the stuff going on inside of my mother's house.' They said that because she was sober, it was starting to influence her headspace and her brain.' So, I assume they meant alcohol-induced dementia.' Heavy alcohol use, according to experts, has been the most influential risk factor in recent research of early-onset dementia, which occurs before age 65.

The news broke last week, just before the documentary premiered, shedding light on Williams' health issues, including Graves' Disease. Williams' language and behavior control were also highlighted in the documentary, which also highlighted the rare condition of frontotemporal dementia. The crew had intended to chronicle Williams' rise to fame in 2022, but they were forced to stop filming in April 2023 due to her daughter's admission of cognitive disorders related to alcohol use.

Wendy Williams, the former talk show host's mother, is concerned with the treatment she has received since being put under guardianship in May 2022. The 59-year-old has since been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, the same condition as Bruce Willis 58, which affects her ability to talk, read, and write. The diagnosis was made in 2023 but it was only recently revealed.

'It makes me very sad,' she explained. 'I do know it takes time to identify conditions such as this...' 'I'm saddened by it all.' In addition to her own disappointment, she pointed out that 'people are constantly saying, 'Wouldn't it be great if Wendy makes a comeback?''
