During an appearance on  that same morning, Williams further explained why she pleaded to go to a medical facility and get evaluated by an independent doctor.

"The police showed up. I'm exhausted. I wanted to go to the hospital to talk to the doctor," Williams, who has been under a  since May 2022, told the hosts.

Monterroso said that they have been laser-focused on trying to get "some kind of motion" into the  guardianship case.

> "Yesterday morning, during our morning calls, I told Wendy, 'We will be calling the police and telling them that you're isolated.' I pleaded with the police as if Wendy was my child. ‘Please you need to get her off this floor. She is confined.’"

> "This floor that I live on is the memory unit," Williams explained. "The people who live there don't remember anything, unlike me. Why am I here? What is going on? It's a cry for help."

When officers visited Williams at the current facility she is residing in, Monterrosa said the TV host began to feel "a little bit of anxiety."

Monterrosa explained that she advised Williams to ask police officers to take her to a hospital and ask for an independent doctor to conduct a medical evaluation. Monterrosa said the facility was giving them a "hard time," but they were eventually able to get Williams to a local hospital.



> "When I got to the hospital, I got checked in," Williams said. "They checked me for the heart palpitations, they did all kinds of scans."

Moterrosa explained that both Williams' guardian and attorney were both present at the hospital, but shared a "difference in opinion" about how to proceed with the evaluations.

> "EMS responded and transported a 60-year-old female to an area hospital for evaluation."

According to the , Williams had thrown a handwritten note that read "Help! Wendy!!" out the window.

"I am not cognitively impaired but I feel like I am in prison," Williams said in January. "I’m in this place with people who are in their 90s and their 80s and their 70s. .... These people, there's something wrong with these people here on this floor. I am clearly not."

"Where I am… you have to get keys to unlock the door to press the elevator to go downstairs, first of all. Second of all, these people here, everybody here is like nursemaids, so to speak," she said. Williams admitted she isn't privy to what medication she's given. "Excuse me, doctor, can you tell me what this pill is for?"

In February 2024, Williams' team announced she had been diagnosed with both progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.
