Wendy Williams’ Ex-Husband Kevin Hunter Files $250 Million Lawsuit to Terminate Her Guardianship

Wendy Williams' ex-husband Kevin Hunter filed a $250 million lawsuit earlier this week, requesting an end to her guardianship, which he claims “has become a weapon, not a shield.”

According to the lawsuit, obtained by Page Six, Hunter claims Williams, whom he refers to in court docs by her married name, is "being abused, neglected, and defrauded under the care of court-appointed guardians." Sabrina Morrissey, who serves as Williams' legal guardian, was named in the suit, along with former financial advisor Lori Schiller and ex-manager Bernie Young, among others.

Hunter accuses Williams' guardians of ignoring medical advice and keeping her in "fraudulent bondage." The talk show host underwent a cognitive health examination in March where she received a 10 out of 10 score on her "capacity test," as reported by TMZ. Williams later addressed her situation on The View, acknowledging that she voluntarily chose guardianship to protect her money, but now wants out.

"I didn't mind it at that time ... but at this point in my life, I want to terminate [the] guardianship and move on with my life, if that's possible at all." she said.

Hunter alleges Williams was "coerced” into the guardianship “under immense financial duress and emotional strain.” Schiller and Young are accused in the suit of exploiting Williams' "trust and financial resources," and spending tens of thousands of dollars belonging to the talk show host without her knowledge.

Williams has been diagnosed with Graves' disease, as well as primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.

Hunter alleges Williams has been "subjected to overmedication and undue restrictions of her person," and remains under care "despite Ms. Hunter passing a competency evaluation in or around March 2025 and being described by healthcare professionals as alert and oriented during welfare checks."

In her appearance on The Breakfast Club in January, Williams compared her living situation to "prison."

"I am not cognitively impaired but I feel like I am in prison,” she said. “I’m in New York City. … I’m in this place where the people are in their 90s and their 80s and their 70s."

Hunter alleges Morrissey has mismanaged Williams' money.

"Despite this unfettered access, Sabrina Morrissey has failed to make timely payments on Ms. Hunter’s outstanding obligations and many of Ms. Hunter’s financial obligations have gone unattended," the suit states.

Morrissey, Schiller, Young and others are accused of violation of free speech and access to courts, unlawful isolation, violation of Americans with Disabilities Act, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, professional malpractice and defamation.

The damages are broken down based on Williams' financial losses under the guardianship, including, "approximately $20 million per year in earnings, her $80 million dollar estate, her $4 million dollar condominium, personal goods in excess of $10 million, and severe reputational harm."
