The statement went on to announce Williams was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, the same disease that's plagued actor Bruce Willis.

"In 2023, after undergoing a battery of medical tests, Wendy was officially diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD)," the statement revealed.

Aphasia is a condition "affecting language and communication abilities," and FTD is a progressive disorder impacting "behavior and cognitive functions."

The former talk show host's camp made a point to note that Williams is "still able to do many things for herself" and the decision to announce her diagnosis was to "advocate for understanding and compassion for Wendy."
