Wendy Williams’ Guardian Accused of Financial Mismanagement

Wendy Williams, the former talk show host, is reportedly unaware of the full extent of her finances, including the $25,000 monthly rent for her assisted living facility apartment, which she allegedly refers to as a “luxury dump.” Sources close to Williams claim she believed her rent was only $18,000 per month and that her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, is “draining her money.”

Concerns Over Financial Control and Allowance

According to Page Six, Williams only became aware of the $25,000 rent figure through press coverage in New York Magazine’s ‘The Cut.’ This revelation has reportedly caused Williams significant anxiety, as she also believes she is not permitted to earn any income under Morrissey’s guardianship. Furthermore, she is allegedly unaware of her total net worth and receives a weekly allowance of only $200-$300, which she uses for small purchases like Twizzlers and magazines.

Morrissey, an elder-care attorney, has been Williams’ guardian since 2022 and has faced criticism amid the ongoing “Free Wendy” movement. The source told Page Six, “She believes Sabrina is draining her money. She doesn’t even know how much she’s worth.” The discrepancy in rent costs, from $18,000 to $25,000 per month, has left Williams “furious.”

Legal Battles and Ongoing Lawsuits

The complexities of Williams’ financial situation are further compounded by ongoing legal battles and associated lawyer fees, including Morrissey’s own fees. Williams is also reportedly kept in the dark about her travel expenses, such as Uber and taxi fares when she is permitted to leave the facility.

In separate legal matters, Williams is expected to testify next month in a lawsuit filed by Morrissey against A&E and Lifetime, accusing them of airing the documentary ‘Where Is Wendy Williams?’ without consent. Meanwhile, a $250 million lawsuit filed by Williams’ ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, demanding her release from guardianship, was recently dismissed by a judge, though he may refile the case. Williams had previously characterized Hunter’s lawsuit as a “money grab.”
