Amid mounting controversy, Wendy Williams court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, finds herself at the center of a legal battle over the Lifetime documentary Where Is Wendy Williams? A lawsuit was filed by Morrissey on Feb. 20, 2024, the same day that the documentary was released, accusing Lifetime of shamelessly exploiting the television personality during a vulnerable time in her life.
According to Morrissey, the documentary fails to obtain proper approval for airing privately filmed footage and portrays Williams in a demeaning manner. The lawsuit alleges that Williams, who is facing health challenges including progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, was not capable of consenting to the terms of her contract with A&E Television Networks, Lifetime's parent company.
While Lifetime has refuted these claims, stating that all necessary permissions were obtained, Morrissey maintains that the documentary violates Williams privacy and exploits her health condition for entertainment purposes.
There have been reports that Sabrina stopped paying alimony to Wendy's ex-husband, Kevin Hunter. Their son, Kevin Hunter Junior, is said to be struggling with rent after being cut off. However, Wendy's manager, Will Shelby and publicist, Shawn Zanotti are reportedly still being paid. Concerns have been raised by Wendy's sister, Wanda Finnie, about the guardianship. Wanda claims they're not allowed to visit Wendy and alleges her dementia is caused by alcohol. However, they don't know where Wendy is staying.
