Early this morning, a number of foreign media were paying attention to her condition - 59-year-old Wendy Williams, a well-known American talk show host, was diagnosed with aphasia and dementia. 
The news was announced by her team this Thursday morning local time. The statement said that Wendy underwent a series of tests in 2023 after her memory began to deteriorate, she experienced "aphasia" and "behavioral instability", and doctors diagnosed her behavior as caused by a neurodegenerative disease - frontotemporal dementia. 
As Wendy's fans know, she has opened up to the public in the past about her medical battles with Graves' disease (toxic diffuse goiter) and lymphedema, as well as other significant challenges related to her health. "The decision to share this news was difficult and deliberate, not only to make Wendy understand and empathize, but also to raise awareness about frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia, and to help thousands of people facing similar situations." ”
But at this stage, Wendy is "still able to do a lot of things on her own" and can still maintain her "trademark humor".
If you're still remembered: Bruce Willis, a veteran Hollywood action superstar, died of this disease.
And like Bruce Willis, Wendy is also quite famous in her field. Friends who usually like to pay attention to European and American culture must be no stranger to her: with her spicy and vicious tongue and fierce hosting style, Wendy has long become a well-known talk show host in the United States.
Born in 1964, Wendy began submitting resumes and tapes to radio stations after graduating from college, and she grew from a substitute member to a popular radio personality, and by 1993 she was the most listened to host of New York Radio in the same period. 
Since then, Wendy has attracted a lot of loyal listeners with her bold and venomous style, but it is her talk show of the same name that has really made her a top host. She often diss Hollywood stars on the show, such as scolding the queen Spicy Chicken's husband for being a ** criminal, and will also scold Britney's parents on the show when "liberating Britney" and so on. 
In short, this show made her famous, won various awards, and of course her wealth will not be less. According to reports, Wendy's net worth is about 20 million US dollars, which is hundreds of millions of dollars when converted into ** yuan, so it can be said that she has both fame and wealth! 
So what is this disease that affects both Wendy and Bruce? When it comes to dementia, the first thing that comes to most people's minds is Alzheimer's disease. In fact, frontotemporal dementia is reported to be another rare, dementia syndrome characterized by frontotemporal lobe atrophy, which causes slow personality changes, speech disorders, and behavioral abnormalities in middle-aged and elderly patients. 
Frontotemporal dementia usually presents at a young age, with most cases diagnosed in people between the ages of 45 and 65. The average life expectancy of people with frontotemporal dementia is 7 to 13 years. There is currently no way to develop frontotemporal dementia, nor is there any way to slow down its progression, but there are interventions that can help control certain symptoms. 
Primary progressive aphasia is a type of frontotemporal dementia, characterized by language impairment, which is mainly manifested by decreased speaking fluency. It is really embarrassing that a person who became famous by speaking now suffers from aphasia, ......
Therefore, after seeing the news that she was suffering from this disease, many netizens thought of the example of themselves or those around them:
My good friend was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 50 and she only lasted a few years. It's really sad to see a person regress from being full of energy to being unable to take care of their own child.
I sympathize with her. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis eight months ago and have felt cognitive decline in recent weeks. It's really horrible, I wish her all the best.
Some netizens thought of Wendy's previous actions, only to find out that everything was for a reason:
I was saddened to hear from Wendy. But it also explains everything that has happened in the last few years, and I wondered at the time that something must have gone wrong. What a shame for such a beautiful person. She is always well-behaved, humorous, and very funny about current events. She's never mean and rude, and she seems to enjoy what she does. We love you and thank you for everything you do, God bless you.
Ever since her husband had a baby with the ** outside, she hasn't been right. He's such a terrible person, and I hope she can get support from someone who really cares about her.
The "wrong" mentioned by netizens has to start with her life experience in recent years. In fact, what many people don't understand is that in stark contrast to her successful career is her life of chicken feathers, so to speak, she is famous and rich, but her life is really miserable - after a failed marriage, Wendy married her second husband Kevin Hunter (Kevin Hunter) in 1999, I thought I could be happy, but I didn't expect this to be another abyssal ......At the time, Kevin was Wendy's agent, but according to her family and friends, Wendy was controlled by Kevin, who used her as a money-making machine. And he not only controlled her in his career, but also betrayed her ...... in his life
Only two weeks after the birth of their only child, Wendy found out that her husband had cheated on a young model, and this cheating was 20 years, and the house that her husband even bought for ** was very close to her home. Even if Wendy went to take the oath of sovereignty, it still didn't ......Later, Wendy's health also went into trouble: in October 2017, she passed out on live TV, frightening viewers;
In February 2018, she made an exception to take a week off and canceled several episodes of the show;
Wendy, who was physically and mentally exhausted, filed for divorce ...... the court in April 2019After experiencing a major blow in her life, Wendy is revealed to be suffering from Graves' disease and lymphedema, and the images she is filmed always look abnormal:
She even raised her feet to introduce her situation and so on in the live broadcast.
It wasn't until now that the truth came out, and people knew that Wendy was sick ......At present, she is being cared for in a ** center, and I hope that the future time can be better for her!
