Wendy Williams' Guardian and A&E Clash Over Documentary Lawsuit

A&E countersues Wendy Williams' guardian, accusing her of suppressing free speech and deflecting criticism of her guardianship.

A&E and Lifetime filed a counterclaim against Wendy Williams' guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, seeking legal costs and accusing her of attempting to suppress their First Amendment rights.
The networks allege Morrissey objected to the documentary 'Where Is Wendy Williams?' to shield herself from scrutiny over her management of Williams' care and finances.
Court filings reveal that Wendy Williams, diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia in 2023, is now permanently disabled and legally incapacitated.
Morrissey claims the documentary exploited Williams' cognitive decline for profit, portraying her in a humiliating and vulnerable state without valid consent.
A&E defends the series, stating Williams signed a talent agreement before her dementia diagnosis and guardianship, and argues the project reflects her hallmark unfiltered honesty.
