Overview

• Kevin Hunter filed the $250 million lawsuit Tuesday in federal court in New York, arguing that the guardianship has become punitive rather than protective.
• The complaint accuses guardian Sabrina Morrissey, Wells Fargo, former advisor Lori Schiller and ex-manager Bernie Young of abusing, neglecting and defrauding Williams.
• It alleges Williams is being overmedicated and held against her will at a Coterie assisted living facility with restricted access to her phone and family.
• Hunter’s suit cites a March 2025 competency evaluation that found Williams alert and oriented and notes that no party has moved to terminate her guardianship.
• The lawsuit demands $250 million in compensatory damages, citing lost earnings, an $80 million estate, a $4 million condominium and reputational harm.
