Overview

• On June 17, Kevin Hunter filed a $250 million federal lawsuit in New York seeking to end Wendy Williams’ court-ordered guardianship.
• The complaint lists 48 defendants ranging from guardian Sabrina Morrissey and Judge Lisa Sokoloff to Wells Fargo, Williams’ assisted living facility and former advisors.
• Hunter alleges the guardianship subjects Williams to overmedication, unauthorized asset sales—including her two rescue cats—and restrictive confinement despite her passing a competency evaluation in March 2025.
• Williams has said she was unaware of the lawsuit and dismissed her ex-husband’s action as a money grab, with her attorney insisting he lacks standing.
• The lawsuit demands Williams’ release from involuntary confinement, a new impartial guardian, a full forensic accounting and $250 million in damages for financial loss and reputational harm.
