Wendy Williams Fires Attorney in Guardianship Battle

The former TV host seeks new legal representation to challenge her court-appointed guardianship, which she describes as restrictive and emotionally abusive.

Wendy Williams has dismissed her court-appointed attorney, Linda Redlisky, citing failure to file necessary paperwork to initiate a trial by jury for her guardianship case.
The former talk show host has compared her living situation in a New York assisted-living facility to a 'luxury prison,' claiming severe restrictions on her autonomy and access to resources.
Williams alleges she has only $15 to her name and accuses her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, of taking advantage of her financial situation.
Supporters, including family and friends, have launched a GoFundMe campaign that has raised over $44,000 to help cover her legal fees and secure experienced representation.
Williams, who voluntarily entered guardianship in 2022 due to health issues, now disputes claims of cognitive impairment and is fighting for greater independence.
