"Williams spoke to The Cut via phone from her memory care floor. Per the outlet, the memory care floor is locked, and she needs both permission from Coterie and her guardian if she wants to leave. She also is not allowed to have a cell phone, but her room has a landline that only makes outgoing calls."
"Her friend and owner of the upscale Italian eatery Tucci in New York, Max Tucci, also spoke with the outlet, sharing that Williams describes the establishment to him as a "dump." "This is, like, where billionaires send their grandmothers. But, you know," he said before his tone became serious, "She doesn't need it. Wendy doesn't lie.""
"During her phone interview, Williams asked the reporter who toured the facility, "Did you see the people? The elderly people? Why do I want to look at that? This is a f----d-up situation. I can't tell you how many times I've asked that I be moved from this floor.""
Wendy Williams lives on a memory care floor at Coterie, an assisted-living facility in Hudson Yards. The memory care floor is locked and requires permission from both Coterie and her court-appointed guardian for her to leave. Cell phones are not allowed in her unit; her room contains a landline limited to outgoing calls. A close friend reported that Williams criticizes the facility and has repeatedly asked to be moved from that floor. Williams was placed under guardianship in 2022 and her team announced diagnoses of progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in February 2024, diagnoses she continues to deny. The facility offers 24/7 nursing and amenities including a movie theater, snack bar, spa, and salon.
