The ongoing drama surrounding Wendy Williams’ legal guardianship took another unexpected turn after the luxury assisted living facility where she resides filed a police report when she left for dinner with her niece.
Contradictory Statements About Wendy’s Freedom
Just yesterday, a lawyer for Wendy Williams’ court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, issued a statement claiming that Wendy is not being isolated from her family and that she can have visits or outings whenever she pleases. However, last night’s incident suggests otherwise.
According to TMZ, Wendy’s niece, Alex Finnie, picked her up from the hospital where she had been undergoing a psychological evaluation and accompanied her back to The Coterie, the luxury assisted living facility where Wendy has been living for the past eight months.
After spending time with Wendy at the facility, Alex took her famous aunt to an Italian restaurant for dinner. But shortly after their outing, staff at The Coterie called the NYPD and filed a police report, claiming Alex had evaded staff to take Wendy out of the building.
Conflicting Accounts of Wendy’s Outing
The circumstances of Wendy’s departure from the facility raise questions. Reports indicate that Wendy cannot leave the fifth-floor memory unit without an attendant pressing the elevator button for her. However, sources close to Wendy and her guardian say that an attendant actually escorted Wendy and Alex to the lobby and even opened the door to their waiting Uber.
This contradiction is especially striking given the letter sent by Wendy’s guardian’s attorney, which stated that Wendy is free to leave the facility and has no restrictions on family visits. Yet, despite this claim, staff still reported the outing to the police.
Wendy and Her Niece Address the Drama
After returning from dinner, Wendy and Alex were confronted by paparazzi about the situation. They reportedly discussed the police report drama but did not provide further details on what actions, if any, Wendy’s legal team might take in response to the incident.
This latest development adds to the ongoing concerns surrounding Wendy’s guardianship, raising more questions than answers about her personal freedom and family access.
