Wendy Williams' guardian has filed a new complaint in her legal battle against Lifetime, A&E Networks, and the makers of 'Where Is Wendy Williams?'
, claiming the two-part series was made “without a valid contract” while Williams was “highly vulnerable and clearly incapable of consenting to being filmed, much less humiliated and exploited.”
It accuses the defendants — which include Lifetime and its parent company, A&E Network — of “willfully taking advantage of a severely impaired, incapacitated person” and making “millions” from the docuseries. Meanwhile, the suit claims Williams “received a paltry $82,000.”go to Williams, “who will need significant funding to provide for proper medical care and supervision for the rest of her life,” the lawsuit reads.
Furthermore, the suit claims that the defendants never consulted Morrissey, despite knowing Williams was now living with a court-appointed guardian. “he Guardian was not involved in the creation of the Program or the Contract and was not shown a copy of the Contract until months after it was purportedly executed.”
Morrissey, according to the suit, also claims she was “actively misled” about the film and was “unaware of the damaging way” that Williams was allegedly being filmed. She said she was led to believe Williams was “being treated properly and with respect and dignity,” citing several photos texted to her during filming that showed Williams “on set, professionally made up, well-dressed, and looking beautiful and happy.
