In a distressing turn of events, Kevin Hunter Jr., son of famed talk show host Wendy Williams, has initiated legal proceedings against Wendy’s court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morisy. Kevin Jr. alleges that Sabrina has been exploiting and mismanaging Wendy’s finances, a claim that has intensified concerns over Wendy’s well-being and financial stability.
Kevin Jr. asserts that Sabrina has been manipulating Wendy, ultimately using her position to siphon money from Wendy’s accounts. The tipping point, according to Kevin Jr., was the recent sale of Wendy’s cherished New York penthouse at a significantly undervalued price. Purchased for $4.6 million, the property was reportedly sold for just $3.75 million, far below market value, especially given that similar units in the building have sold for over $5 million. This transaction has raised serious questions about Sabrina’s intentions and management capabilities.
Wendy Williams’ health has been a point of concern since 2021, when she stepped down from her show due to complications from Graves’ disease and other health issues. Following a series of alarming incidents, including a bout with COVID-19 and rumors of her being admitted to a psychiatric ward, Wendy’s condition has only seemed to worsen. Reports have suggested that she was battling early-onset dementia, a claim initially disputed by her brother, but later confirmed by medical professionals in 2023.
Sabrina Morisy was appointed as Wendy’s guardian following a dispute with Wells Fargo over Wendy’s ability to manage her finances. Despite Wendy’s protests, the court ruled in favor of the conservatorship, placing Sabrina in control of Wendy’s assets. However, Kevin Jr. and other family members have since accused Sabrina of isolating Wendy from her loved ones and misappropriating her funds. Wendy’s sister and niece have also voiced their concerns, revealing that Wendy has been forced to communicate with them through blocked phone numbers, further fueling suspicions of Sabrina’s misconduct.
One of the most controversial actions taken by Sabrina was the sale of Wendy’s penthouse. Fans and family alike have questioned the legitimacy of this sale, suggesting that Sabrina may have ulterior motives. Additionally, there have been reports that Wendy has been selling personal items, including her iconic purple chair, a move that has left many questioning whether Wendy is being forced to liquidate her assets against her will.
The public outcry has been substantial, with many drawing parallels to Britney Spears’ high-profile conservatorship battle. Fans and commentators have called for an investigation into Sabrina’s handling of Wendy’s finances, with some even suggesting that Sabrina might be exploiting Wendy for personal gain. Wendy’s ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, has also criticized Sabrina, alleging that she has been withholding financial support and taking advantage of Wendy’s vulnerable state.
Kevin Jr. has been vocal about his mother’s plight, emphasizing that her health and well-being should be the priority, not her ability to generate income. He has accused those around Wendy of enabling her drinking problem and using her condition to justify their control over her finances. In an emotional plea, Kevin Jr. expressed his determination to protect his mother and ensure that she is surrounded by people who genuinely care for her well-being.
Wendy Williams’ saga is a stark reminder of the complexities and potential pitfalls of conservatorships. With Kevin Jr. stepping up to defend his mother, the case against Sabrina Morisy is poised to bring much-needed scrutiny to the guardianship system. As details emerge, the hope remains that Wendy will receive the care and support she deserves, free from exploitation and financial mismanagement.
