Wendy’s brother, Tommy Williams Jr., previously revealed that she was staying at an undisclosed treatment facility while speaking with Us Weekly, earlier this year. “When I speak to Wendy, she sounds fine. Wendy has improved,” he told the outlet back in February. “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.” At the time, Wendy had just been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia.
