Wendy Williams Challenges Guardianship as Judge Considers Stricter Facility

The former talk show host alleges mistreatment under her guardianship, while her guardian's lawyer denies the claims and defends her care.

Judge Lisa Sokoloff has threatened to move Wendy Williams to a more restrictive facility after Williams publicly criticized her current guardianship conditions.
Williams, diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2024, has expressed frustration with her restricted living arrangements, describing them as a 'luxury prison.'
Her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, and her lawyer have refuted Williams' claims, stating she is receiving excellent care, including access to amenities and family visits.
The guardianship was court-ordered due to Williams being declared 'permanently incapacitated,' though Williams insists she is not cognitively impaired.
The controversy has intensified following reports of Williams tossing a note from her window pleading for help, which her guardian's lawyer calls misleading.
