Wendy Williams is showing a “substantial amount of improvement” while living in an undisclosed treatment facility, according to her brother, Tommy Williams Jr.
“When I speak to Wendy, she sounds fine. Wendy has improved,” Tommy told Us Weekly Wednesday. “I know my sister from where she was to where she is now, and she has a substantial amount of improvement.
“It’s dialogue and conversation, topics, content, speech pattern, everything.”

Tommy, 56, further claimed that the former daytime talk show, 59, has not exhibited “past behaviors” that were featured in the Lifetime documentary that aired last weekend.
“The past was obvious. We saw it,” he told the magazine. “She was in a worse state, and the [documentary] depicted it. Now [she is in] a different state.”
“Where Is Wendy Williams?” showed Wendy’s heartbreaking decline before receiving her frontotemporal dementia and aphasia diagnoses, which her team announced last week.
The two-part TV special showed Wendy regularly imbibing despite her documented history of alcoholism, snapping at people around her over the tiniest of issues and even breaking down over her lack of access to her money in light of her court-ordered guardianship.
