Wendy Williams Has Become “Permanently Disabled” As Health Worsens

November 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wendy Williams’ guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has provided an update on the former broadcaster’s health in a new court filing obtained by the New York Post. She revealed Williams “has become cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and incapacitated” as she continues to battle with dementia. The court filing comes amid Morrissey’s ongoing legal battle with Lifetime. The case centers around the release of the documentary, Where Is Wendy Williams?. She claims the filmmakers took advantage of Williams’ declining mental state.

The filing lists several defendants including A&E Television Networks, Lifetime Entertainment Services, EOne Productions, Creature Films, and the doc’s executive producer Mark Ford. It alleges that the group, “cruelly took advantage of [Williams’] cognitive and physical decline by creating and publishing a documentary at a time when [Williams] was highly vulnerable and clearly incapable of consenting to be filmed.”

Morrissey and her legal team further argue that the defendants “intentionally manipulated and goaded” Williams “to trigger strong emotional reactions and acquire embarrassing footage.” She wants the court to redact aspects of Williams’ “health, familial relationships, and finances” to protect her privacy. On the other side, attorneys for the defense have agreed that Williams gave her “consent, input, and participation” prior to being diagnosed with dementia. Both sides have requested a trial, which is expected to last between two to four weeks.

While Williams’ health began to decline in recent years, a court placed her in a legal guardianship in 2022. The guardianship oversees her health and finances. Her bank, Wells Fargo, had claimed she was “incapacitated” at the time. Williams was first diagnosed with primary aggressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia back in 2023. The Lifetime documentary, Where Is Wendy Williams?, dropped in February of the following year. Be on the lookout for further updates on Wendy Williams and her health on HotNewHipHop.

“The bad news is, he’s not out of the woods,” he added. “I spoke to Troy this morning. He is alert, but he’s still in the hospital, where he’s been since Tuesday of last week. Family, we gotta do something about this health crisis that we’re having. We are losing too many soldiers. As I said in the opening, thank God Troy is still with us. But, so many more, including recently Fatman Scoop and BeatKing, who didn’t make it.” From there he brought up the health issues plaguing Scarface. “We gotta do better with taking care of ourselves fam,” he said.

Irv Gotti Updates Fans On His Health Following Stroke, Says He’s Working On DMX Biopic

August 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Irv Gotti concerned fans this week when Wack 100 alleged that he suffered a stroke, news that he then confirmed shortly after. However, it looks like he’s not wasting much time with this recovery, and is getting right back to his work in quite rapid fashion. Moreover, a representative for the Murder Inc. executive recently spoke to The Shade Room and provided the public with an update on his status. Apparently, he’s doing just fine and is now working on a DMX biopic, which is exciting news for fans of this era. Hopefully these two narratives of recovery and development don’t impact each other in a negative way.

“I’m getting older. That’s all. Only thing worse than getting old is not getting old,” Irv Gotti shared through his representative on Wednesday (August 28). In addition to the DMX film announcement, the rep also expressed Gotti’s disappointment with how Wack 100 revealed this private information publicly. “Irv has been struggling with diabetes for years, which caused him to have a minor stroke over six months ago,” the rep had told TMZ on Wednesday. “He has since changed his diet to eating more healthy. He’s been successful in making a full recovery. Irv is not in a rehab facility. He is at home with his family, enjoying life.”

Despite 50 Cent’s clowning (over romances unrelated to this stroke), Irv Gotti has previously spoken on his struggles with diabetes. “It’s rampant with Black people,” he said on Drink Champs last year. “What it does is, it starts deteriorating your body. No, [it’s not under contol]. I’ve been diagnosed with diabetes forever; it’s hereditary. When my [blood sugar] gets too high, shot [of insulin]. It’s reversible but you gotta change the way you eat, all that. But you know what’s f***ed up with diabetes? So anything that you’re gonna like or tastes good, horrible for you. Now what’s some nasty s**t? Broccoli… you supposed to eat some leaves or s**t like that.”

Meanwhile, Irv Gotti has also denied sexual assault claims against him. “Mr. Gotti rejected the attempt by this individual to coerce a payment of money from him. The lawsuit contains a single page of ‘facts’ which are unsworn to, sparse by any measure, and which Mr. Gotti categorically denies,” his representative stated.

Martin Lawrence Insists He Never Suffered A Stroke

June 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Martin Lawrence says he never suffered a stroke and the rumors suggesting as such are completely unfounded. He discussed his health during an interview with Sway In The Morning, last Friday, to promote his new film with Will Smith, Bad Boys: Ride or Die. The rumors have been running rampant throughout the press tour.

“There’s a rumor out there that I had a stroke. Man, and that’s totally not true,” he insisted on the show. “So, I just wanna clear that up. But I thank everybody for the concern and the love, and just thank you. But Marty’s all good.” From there, Smith joined in to joke: “There’s also a rumor, and I wasn’t gonna bring it up, that you’re a clone. That was the one that I heard. That you’ve been cloned.” In the comments section, fans defended the legendary actor. “Martin said he’s alright then let him be! He looks great, he’s older now, no one is going to look exactly the same. It’s called life! Let that man live. You speak life into your words…” one fan wrote. Another countered: “I know Martin is saying he’s good but I feel like bro is moving in slow motion for some reason.”

It’s not the first time Lawrence has had to dispel rumors about his health. Speaking with Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning, last week, he explained that he’s in “God’s hands.” “I’m fine, I’m in God’s hands,” Lawrence said at the time. “I’m blessed. You know, I’m glad to be waking up every day. I’m all good. No need for people to be concerned.”

Snoop Dogg’s Daughter Cori Broadus Gives Promising Update After Stroke

January 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus took to social media to reveal that she had suffered a frightening health scare. “I had a severe stroke this [morning],” she announced from her hospital bed. “I started breaking down crying when they told me.” The unfortunate news took fans by surprise, though at only 24 years of age, Broadus has dealt with various health issues.

“Like I’m only 24, what did I do in my past to deserve all of this,” she wondered at the time. While it’s clear that physical health concerns can take a serious mental toll, Broadus appears to be in better spirits based on her latest health update. She hopped on her Instagram Story yesterday to thank fans for their support, and to share an uplifting message.

“I truly appreciate all the love and support fr gain I’m human and I go thru sh*t just like everybody else which is why I’m so open about my life,” she began. “Because I know I feel alone but we are never alone,” Broadus added, “Someone is always going thru damn near the same. Still [at the hospital] hoping to be home soon.” She went on to share photos of some of the sweet gifts she’s received from loved ones, as well as a couple of visitors who came to cheer her up.

Broadus was diagnosed with Lupus at the age of six, and has taken a plethora of medications for it nearly her entire life. In a 2023 interview with PEOPLE, she described switching to an “all natural” approach, stepping away from medication and towards things like herbs, teas, exercise, and more. “I’ve had medication since I was 6 years old, depending on these drugs all my life. So I wanted better for myself,” she explained. “I wanted to change because it just became a lot. I’m only 24 years old, taking 10 to 12 pills every single day. So I kind of just went cold Turkey.” What do you think of Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus’ recent health scare? What about her latest uplifting message about never being alone?

Charlamagne Tha God Wishes “Good Health” For Wendy Williams, But Admits They Haven’t Spoken For “Years”

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Charlamagne Tha God says he’s wishing the best for Wendy Williams’ health, but that the two haven’t had a relationship for years. He spoke about his former radio partner with The U.S. Sun at the 5th Annual Pow(H)er Awards in New York City, earlier this month. The last time Williams was spotted in public was in N.Y.C. in February. At the time, she appeared frail amid ongoing health concerns.

Charlamagne told the outlet: “I just pray that she’s in good health, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically. I care about that more than I care about anything media-related. Even if we don’t have a relationship, you want to see people always going out with the plane landing with the wheels coming out. You don’t want to see people crash. At least I don’t.”

Charlamagne Tha God Attends The Pow(H)er Awards

As for whether he’d ever want to interview her, he admitted he “never thought about it.” The Breakfast Club host added that they haven’t spoken for “years.” He said: “I’m not even thinking about stuff like that. You want to see a person like that, you know, you heard that she was having some type of health issues, and you want to see her get back on her feet. That’s what I care about.” Charlamagne worked on The Wendy Williams Experience from 2006 through 2008. He has said Wendy’s ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, fired him after a business deal gone wrong.

At the Pow(H)er Awards, Charlamagne was honored with the first-ever Power(H)im Award. The ceremony came as The Breakfast Club is searching for a new co-host to replace DJ Envy, who got roped up in Cesar Pina’s alleged real estate fraud scam.

LeBron James Shares Relieving News About Bronny’s Chances To Play For USC

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It feels like the sports world has been anxiously waiting for the news surrounding LeBron James’ oldest son, Bronny, and his health. Just over two months ago he suffered a terrifying cardiac arrest during a workout at USC’s Galen Center. This occurred shortly after Buffalo Bill’s cornerback Damar Hamlin went through a similar thing. The sports community and the rest of the world surrounded the James family with tons of support during the rough time.

Luckily and thankfully, Bronny’s surgery went smoothly. He was back in the public eye just a few days later. Back in August, we got word on what caused this to happen. According to the medical professionals who attended to Bronny, it is an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect. These happen at birth, according to the CDC. “They can affect how blood flows through the heart and out to the rest of the body. CHDs can vary from mild (such as a small hole in the heart) to severe (such as missing or poorly formed parts of the heart).”

After a truly frightening time for LeBron and the rest of the family, he cleared some air at the Lakers Media Day. TMZ Sports found footage of him speaking about Bronny, “He’s on the up-and-up.” He continued, “Happy to see where he is today.” The 18-year-old has a lot of hype around him, but we hope that he continues to get healthy and wish the absolute best for him. There is no definitive report on whether or not he will play for the Trojans as of yet.

What are your initial thoughts on LeBron saying Bronny might be able to play for USC this year? Do you think he will play at all? If he does, how effective do you think he will be? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Jamie Foxx Says He’s “Startin’ To Feel Like Myself” In Encouraging Update

August 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a tough few months for Jamie Foxx fans. The actor was suddenly hospitalized in April while on the set of his upcoming Netflix film, Back In Action. It was the latest in a long series of issues that had hampered production. Furthermore, the coverage of Foxx’s hospitalization was a mess, with Foxx seemingly both on the verge of death and recovering well. After many conflicting reports about his status, his daughter revealed in mid-May that he had been out of the hospital for several weeks. However, for the time being, Foxx continues to recover mostly in private. Even so, he has been spotted out and about.

However, Foxx has begun to make public appearances in recent weeks. He has been seen at TopGolf as well as playing pickleball. Furthermore, John Boyega gave a positive update from the premiere of They Cloned Tyrone. “He finally picked up the phone. Thank you, bro,” Boyega said. “He’s doing well. And then, you know, we just giving him the privacy, and we can’t wait for his return.” He continued: “I gave him the well wishes directly. I gave him all the well wishes. So I’m just gonna be waiting until he comes back out here. So take your time, Jamie. We love you, bro.” Furthermore, Foxx recently threw a party to celebrate his recovery. Now Foxx is starting to feel like his old self again.

Messages of support from the likes of Jeremy Renner and Octavia Spencer could be seen in the comments section.

It’s the latest positive update from the star, who was also recently seen playing pickleball with some star opponents. Foxx was seen getting into some doubles action. Also taking part in the workout were NFL agent Ryan Sherry, director Taylor Chien, and Olympic beach volleyball player Casey Patterson. It appeared to be quite a lively match, with Patterson posting a video of a particularly nasty shot from Foxx. A beautiful spinning drop-shot, Foxx’s effort was basically impossible to return. “That Jamie Foxx spin will get ya,” Patterson captioned the video.

Lil Durk Says He’s “Almost Healed” In New Health Update

July 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, it was reported that Lil Durk had been hospitalized due to dehydration and exhaustion. The rapper later shared that he had been released from the hospital, telling fans he was on the road to recovery. His health struggles appear to have been more serious than what listeners expected, unfortunately. Durk ended up cancelling a slew of dates on his “Sorry For The Drought” tour, telling fans that he was not yet in the clear to perform.

“Since I’m still awaiting full clearance from my doctors to travel and perform again, I have no other choice but to cancel my headlining Rolling Loud performance,” he said in a statement last week. “While I’m home resting, I am looking forward to my two homecoming shows on the 11th & 12th in Chicago. For the rest of the country, I’ll be announcing new dates soon. #StillHealing.”

Now, he’s taken to social media to give fans another, highly-anticipated update on the status of his health. “I’m almost healed,” he told Instagram followers on his story, “I appreciate the energy being on 1000.” The hopeful update has left fans feeling relieved that the 30-year-old is on the mend, and eager to peep his rescheduled tour dates.

Durk’s listeners are also anticipating the deluxe edition of Almost Healed, which he’s been teasing as of late. He previously hinted that the deluxe LP could come out this summer, but he’s yet to give many specifics. It’s unclear whether or not his health struggles have halted his plans for the drop. It’s possible, however, that the unexpected obstacle could have put things on pause for the moment. In another recent update, the Chicago rapper shared that his fans mean everything to him. “Once I get my full energy back,” he told them, “it’s back to business which I’m looking forward to. #StillHealing.”
