Wendy Williams is fighting for her freedom—and Media Take Out learned that her new attorney is taking legal action to get her out of her senior living facility ASAP.
After passing a mental evaluation with flying colors on Monday, the former daytime TV queen, 60, was reportedly admitted to a hospital following an NYPD welfare check. But instead of returning to the senior facility where she’s currently housed, Wendy and her legal team are pushing for her release.
Emergency Petition Filed to Remove Wendy from Facility
Sources close to Wendy told Media Take Out that her guardianship attorney is filing an emergency petition today to have her moved to a less restrictive housing arrangement.
“Her team told the hospital that their client has a fundamental human right to refuse to be discharged to an unsafe environment,” an insider said.
Wendy has been openly unhappy with the senior living facility, calling it a “luxury prison”—specifically taking issue with being placed on a locked memory unit floor, where she says she isn’t allowed to leave.
Wendy vs. Her Guardian: A Heated Showdown
Monday night reportedly turned into a battle between Wendy, her lawyer, and her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey.
- Wendy’s guardian wanted her sent back to the facility, despite her objections.
- Wendy and her attorney refused, arguing that she doesn’t feel safe there.
- The hospital decided to keep her overnight while her lawyer works on an alternative housing plan.
Meanwhile, a source claims Wendy’s guardian allegedly tried to interfere with her mental evaluation—the same guardian who recently insisted that Wendy doesn’t even know she has dementia.
What’s Next for Wendy?
With legal battles brewing, Wendy and her team are fighting hard to regain control over her life.
While her guardian is pushing for her to remain in the senior facility, Wendy’s successful mental evaluation could be a game-changer, proving that she’s capable of making her own decisions.
For now, all eyes are on her attorney’s emergency petition—and whether Wendy Williams will finally be able to leave what she calls her “luxury prison.”
Stay tuned, because this battle is far from over.
