Overview

• Kevin Hunter filed a federal suit on June 17 in New York against 48 defendants including guardian Sabrina Morrissey and Wells Fargo, demanding Williams’ release from involuntary confinement and appointment of a new guardian.
• The lawsuit alleges Williams was subjected to overmedication and isolation at the Coterie assisted living facility despite being described as alert and oriented in a March 2025 competency evaluation.
• Hunter accuses guardianship officials of mishandling her finances, pointing to the sale of Williams’ New York condominium at a loss and failure to cover her ongoing obligations.
• The complaint claims Morrissey breached her fiduciary duty by boarding and then selling Williams’ two rescued cats, depriving her of companionship and emotional support.
• Hunter is seeking a jury trial along with court orders to unseal guardianship records, secure Williams’ access to her finances and appoint him as her “next friend.”
