Thomas Williams, the father of Wendy Williams, has died. He was 94. Wendy's niece, journalist Alex Finnie, confirmed Thomas' death via Instagram on Sunday, February 8. The news comes as Wendy, 61, continues to fight the court-ordered guardianship she was placed under in 2022 on grounds of alleged cognitive impairments that she has publicly denied. "It is with an extremely heavy heart that I share - after 94 years of extraordinary love, strength, brilliance, and wisdom, my grandfather Thomas D. Williams has passed," Finnie, a morning news anchor for Miami's local WPLG news outlet, wrote.
