Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

FREE Wendy Williams! Judge's "Threats" After Star's Boozy Lunch

19 Mar 2025

Description

Wendy Williams says she feels like she is in prison as she fights to end her court-appointed guardianship. Almost on cue, she may have proven her point when Coterie, the assisted living facility where she resides on the fifth floor, called police, claiming her niece, Alex Finnie, had kidnapped her. According to the report Coterie filed with the NYPD, Finnie evaded staff and took Williams out to eat at an Italian restaurant. After police were called, Williams and Finnie cited the incident as an example of how restrictive the guardianship has allegedly become. Speaking to paparazzi outside Coterie, Finnie noted that Williams’ guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, claims Williams can come and go freely and that no family visits are blocked. Finnie questioned that statement, pointing out that staff escorted Williams to the elevator, yet Coterie still called police. Williams told the interviewer, “Clearly, they are lying to me when they say I can go out and do what I want to do.” Williams claims she can only leave the facility’s fifth-floor memory unit with permission and an attendant to unlock the elevator. This week, a judge approved an emergency petition filed by Williams’ attorney to move her from what she calls a “luxury prison” to a less restrictive environment. Judge Lisa Sokoloff approved the request, and Williams will relocate to a private condo where she will have more freedom to come and go and receive visitors. Joining Nancy Grace today: Elizabeth J.
