Controversy surrounding Wendy Williams' guardianship explained

Wendy Williams hosted The Wendy Williams Show from 2008 to 2021, however, rumors about her deteriorating health began doing the rounds after she gained live on air in 2017. Additionally, the former presenter has been vocal about her struggle with addiction, and in 2019 she told fans about living in a sober house and seeking treatment for drug use.

In 2022, Wells Fargo petitioned to place Wendy under financial guardianship claiming that she was "a victim of undue influence and financial exploitation" and "incapacitated". According to multiple sources, in February 2024, Wendy's guardian Sabrina Morrissey sued A+E Networks and Lifetime and accused them of exploiting the former presenter. Sabrina claimed that Wendy was reportedly paid only $82,000 for the documentary.

However, in November 2024, A+E Networks and Lifetime countersued Wendy's legal guardian and alleged that she filed a lawsuit over the documentary to protect her personal interests. A+E Networks and Lifetime mentioned in their counter lawsuit:

“It was only when Morrissey realized that the documentary would question the quality of her own guardianship of [Williams] that Morrissey suddenly decided to try to ensure the documentary would never be released,”

The networks also claimed that Sabrina was misusing her position as Wendy's guardian to "silence criticism of her controversial and failed administration of [the guardianship].” In their countersuit, the networks asked for compensation for the fees and costs they used to defend their “First Amendment-protected rights."
