Wendy Williams has been placed under involuntary hospitalization following a recent psychiatric evaluation that determined she is mentally ill and poses a danger to herself and others. A judge has ruled that the former talk show host must remain in a court-mandated treatment facility, where she will receive medical and psychiatric care.

A spokesperson for Williams’ legal guardian released a statement following the ruling:

“Wendy’s health and well-being remain our top priority. This decision was made to ensure she receives the care and support she needs at this time. We ask for privacy and understanding as she focuses on her recovery.”
