Kevin Hunter seeks court intervention to end Wendy Williams’ guardianship, claims report

Kevin Hunter, Wendy Williams’ ex-spouse, has initiated a substantial $250 million lawsuit. He alleges that she has been unjustly treated under a court-appointed guardianship. This legal action was filed on June 17 in a federal court in New York. The lawsuit lists 48 parties, including Wendy’s legal guardian Sabrina Morrissey, Judge Lisa Sokoloff, Wells Fargo, her assisted living facility, various lawyers involved in her case, and more.

The argument presented contends that Williams has suffered from excessive mistreatment, financial mismanagement, and abuse without bounds. According to Hunter and their legal representatives, Williams’ fundamental rights as outlined in the constitution have allegedly been infringed upon. (via PEOPLE)

It’s contended that Williams is currently cut off from her friends and relatives, and only permitted limited use of her personal phone. Moreover, it’s claimed she’s being held at a Coterie care home against her wishes since 2022 due to guardianship, which was initiated following Wells Fargo’s apprehensions about dubious transactions in her accounts.

As a dedicated fan, I’m sharing some insights about a lawsuit that’s not seeking to completely end the guardianship. Instead, it calls for substantial changes. These changes include appointing a new independent guardian, conducting a thorough forensic audit of her finances, making court documents public, and securing her release from what is referred to as “involuntary confinement.

Moreover, Hunter is trying to assume the position of “next friend” for Williams. This legal title would empower him to act on her behalf.

Lawyer for the hunter, LaShawn Thomas, shares that the individual, Williams, might not have a complete understanding of all the intricacies of the law. Nevertheless, they plan to bring forth evidence during the trial that strengthens their case.
