A&E countersued Wendy Williams’ guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, in response to a lawsuit filed against the cable network over the Lifetime documentary “Where Is Wendy Williams?”. A&E argued that Williams had signed a talent agreement before her dementia diagnosis and had the right to air the docuseries. Morrissey had attempted to stop the documentary from airing, claiming that it exploited Williams’ personal struggles. A&E accused Morrissey of infringing on their First Amendment rights by trying to prevent the documentary from being shown.
The legal battle between A&E and Morrissey continues, with both parties claiming different perspectives on Williams’ consent and involvement in the documentary before her dementia diagnosis. Morrissey’s legal team has argued that Williams’ cognitive decline was exploited by A&E and Lifetime, seeking justice for the former talk show host.
Williams, who has been under a court-ordered guardianship since being diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, has been out of the public eye, seeking privacy and peace amid her health struggles. Despite the ongoing legal battle, Williams hopes that her story can benefit others with similar health conditions, thanking her fans for their support and positivity. The outcome of the legal dispute between A&E and Morrissey remains uncertain as the case continues to unfold.
