Wendy Williams was spotted leaving a New York City hotspot after she was hospitalized and subjected to a psychiatric evaluation.
The TV personality appeared in good spirits as she smiled wide for the outing at Max Tucci’s Tucci restaurant in NoHo on Wednesday night.
She kept it casual, wearing a green and orange bomber jacket, black top, tights under jean shorts and black fur boots.
“She had a super time, she kept writing in her journal, she looked great,” an insider told Page Six. “Tomorrow she is going on ‘The View.’ Guests inside the restaurant respected her. She was with her niece and a young man.”
Williams’ outing reportedly got her into trouble, as the assisted living home she lives in allegedly filed a police report after her niece Alex Finnie violated the law by taking her to eat, according to TMZ.
Per the outlet, Finnie was spending time with her famous aunt at the facility when she “evaded staff” by leaving for dinner with Williams.
Williams’ sighting comes after she was transported via ambulance from her assisted living home to Lenox Hill Hospital following a wellness check on Monday.
Police were called to the “Wendy Williams Show” host’s fifth-story room after she dropped a note to paparazzi begging them for help.
Photos showed her waving to photographers from her bedroom window until police arrived to escort her out of the building.
After a psych evaluation, Williams, 60, was ruled to be “alert and oriented” and received a “10 out of 10” score on a “capacity test,” according to TMZ.
The outlet reported that the results would be used in the court case seeking to end the former talk show host’s guardianship, which she has been in since 2022.
Williams is also waiting to be retested for frontotemporal dementia after denying she suffered from the condition earlier this year. She was diagnosed with the disease in 2023.
Williams called in to “Good Day New York” on Tuesday and admitted her no. 1 priority was ending her guardianship.
The media personality — who declared she passed her psych test with “flying colors” — explained that she currently resides in the memory unit of the NYC assisted living facility, which is for people who “don’t remember anything.”
“In order to go to the gym, which is on the third floor, I have to be permitted,” she said. “In terms of how much it costs, it has to be approved by my guardian person. My money is, like, in the air.”
Williams, who previously referred to the facility as a “prison,” shared she looks forward to continuing to live in NYC and working after her guardianship ends.
Williams’ guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, clapped back at claims that Williams was living in a “prison” via a statement from her lawyers sent to TMZ on Wednesday.
The attorney referred to the allegation as “untrue” and “inaccurate,” saying Williams can call and visit family when she wants.
Morrissey, however, is also reportedly being investigated by Adult Protective Services for elder abuse after allegedly sending the TV mogul to visit family in Florida without money in February, per the US Sun.
