Wendy Williams’ Neurological Diagnosis Triggers Guardian’s Push To Pause A&E Lawsuit

Wendy Williams’ medical evaluation is now complete, according to her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina E. Morrissey, who is asking to pause ongoing litigation with A&E over its 2024 documentary.

In an August 5 filing, Morrissey said “medical specialists have formed an opinion concerning [Wendy’s] current neurological condition and diagnosis, including whether she has the ability to make decisions” regarding the lawsuit. The opinion followed extensive medical and neuropsychological testing, including brain imaging.

Morrissey cited “complications” from challenges to the guardianship by Wendy’s family and others, requesting a three-month pause until the guardianship court rules on its status. A&E agreed to the delay but asked for an early deposition of Wendy, citing concerns over her “purported progressive neurological disease.”

Morrissey sued A&E in 2024 over “Where Is Wendy Williams?,” which chronicled her talk show’s end and the guardianship’s beginning. Wendy’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, recently said the guardianship “sickens” him, and Wendy has compared it to a luxury prison.
