New York, N.Y. — A legal dispute involving Wendy Williams’ ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, has surfaced as he claims to represent her interests in a lawsuit against her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. The suit, filed on June 17, accuses Morrissey of selling Williams’ cherished cats, Chit Chat and My Way, without her knowledge, effectively stripping her of vital companionship and emotional support.
Hunter asserts that Morrissey breached her fiduciary duty by ceasing payments for the cats’ boarding and opting to sell them instead. Williams, diagnosed with dementia, has been under a legal guardianship since 2022 and has resided in an assisted-living facility since early 2023.
In a previous interview, Williams recounted a conversation with Morrissey, during which she learned that her rescued cats were no longer with her. Williams, who had adopted the cats in 2019, expressed disbelief at hearing they were “gone.”
Concerns regarding the cats emerged earlier this year following their mention in the Lifetime documentary, “Where Is Wendy Williams?” This documentary raised questions about her well-being and the status of her personal affairs.
The lawsuit names 48 defendants, including Morrissey, the presiding judge in Williams’ guardianship case, Lisa Sokoloff, and financial institution Wells Fargo. Hunter claims these parties have violated Williams’ constitutional rights. While he is not seeking to terminate the guardianship, he requests a new impartial guardian, access to sealed case files, and her release from what he describes as “involuntary confinement.” He seeks $250 million for alleged financial and emotional damages.
Hunter further alleges that since the guardianship was enacted, Williams has been subjected to mistreatment and financial mismanagement, suggesting she has endured overmedication and restrictive measures without an independent medical evaluation.
LaShawn Thomas, the attorney representing Hunter in this case, stated that Williams may not fully comprehend all allegations being made on her behalf. However, Thomas indicated that the lawsuit intends to present substantial evidence to support their claims, aiming to restore Williams’ rights and address her financial status appropriately.
As the case progresses, many are watching closely, given the public’s ongoing interest in Wendy Williams’ health and personal circumstances.
