A lawyer representing Wendy Williams’ guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has sent a letter to TMZ claiming that some media coverage of the guardianship and their client is inaccurate.
The lawyer clarifies that the guardianship was not initiated by Morrissey, but by a judge who declared Wendy legally incapacitated due to Frontotemporal Dementia.
The lawyer also states that Wendy is allowed to contact and visit her family as she pleases, contradicting claims that she has been isolated in an assisted living facility in New York.
The guardian mentions Wendy’s visits to Florida and how the judge initially denied her request to visit family for her dad’s birthday, only reversing the decision after the release of the documentary “Saving Wendy” on Tubi.
According to the lawyer, Wendy is receiving top-notch medical care in a facility that offers various amenities, although Wendy claims she is often restricted from accessing them without permission.

Wendy’s attorney previously tried to end the guardianship, a request that was denied by the judge. The lawyer confirms that Wendy is currently attempting to terminate the arrangement.
The lawyer’s letter acknowledges Frontotemporal Dementia as a degenerative condition but does not address Wendy’s occasional lucidity, which appears inconsistent with a degenerative disease.
The lawyer also points out that Wendy performed well on a cognitive test conducted by an independent psychiatrist, despite symptoms of Frontotemporal Dementia.
Regarding payment for her services, the lawyer states that Morrissey has only received a minimal payment and has been working without compensation since 2022, with the final payment amount to be determined by the court.

The lawyer emphasizes that false statements regarding Wendy’s condition and the guardianship put her health and protection at risk, urging for accurate reporting.
Contrary to the lawyer’s claims, Wendy, her niece, her independent caregiver, and others have expressed differing perspectives on the situation.
