Wendy Williams taken by ambulance after dropping desperate note from NYC window begging for help

Wendy Williams was taken away from her New York assisted living facility by ambulance Monday after cops were called in for a wellness check when the ex-talk show queen tossed a handwritten note out the window begging for help.

“Help! Wendy!!” the note said.

The call came in at about 11:15 a.m. soon after the 60-year-old — who has been diagnosed with dementia — tossed the note from the window of her fifth-story room, police and law enforcement sources told The Post.

The former TV star, who has been holed up in the facility’s memory ward as she fights to end her court-ordered guardianship, was later spotted at the window waving her arms at a Post reporter while speaking on the phone.

Soon after, Williams silently walked out of the facility — escorted by a handful of cops — and was helped into the waiting ambulance.

The ordeal came after it emerged that the daytime star was slated to return to TV for the first time amid her ongoing health woes.

Williams planned to make an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Friday — her first daytime appearance since taking a leave of absence from her “The Wendy Williams Show” four years ago.

Suzanne Bass, former co-executive producer of Williams’ show, shared news of the upcoming appearance in an Instagram post on Sunday.

“Prepping a very special friend for her appearance @theviewabc to air this Friday. #freewendy,” Bass captioned a video of herself speaking to Williams on the phone.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the appearance was going to be filmed in person or just over the phone.
Williams, who has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, has been embroiled in a high-profile battle to end the guardianship she’s been under since 2022.

Her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has previously said Williams had “become cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and incapacitated” from her dementia battle.

Williams, for her part, has insisted she is mentally sound — claiming in a recent TMZ phone interview that she is being held in a “prison” and is “not allowed” to go outside of her own free will.

Still, she appeared to score a small win in her long-running guardianship battle last month after Morrissey informed a judge she would be open to having Williams undergo a new medical evaluation in light of the star’s claims she doesn’t have dementia.
