Wendy Williams
Denied Dinner with Niece and Lawyer
Published April 9, 2025 5:44 PM PDT
Wendy Williams’ guardian has recently thwarted her plans for a family dinner, countering previous claims that the television personality could visit with relatives freely. Sources close to the situation reveal that despite assurances from her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, Wendy’s anticipated outing with her niece, Alex Finnie, and her new attorney, Joe Tacopina, was abruptly stopped.
The dinner was set to take place at a New York City restaurant, a chance for Wendy to unify with family and legal counsel. However, Morrissey’s intervention meant Wendy remained confined to her assisted living facility, which she has described as “a luxury prison.”
This decision has raised eyebrows, particularly since Morrissey’s legal representatives had recently communicated with media outlets like TMZ, downplaying any claims that Wendy was being restricted from seeing her family. The dissonance between these claims and the reality of Wendy’s situation is causing concern among her supporters.
While the exact reasons for the denial of Wendy’s outing have not been disclosed, speculation suggests it may connect to her ongoing efforts to dissolve her guardianship. Reports indicate that if legal actions do not swiftly bring about a resolution, Wendy is prepared to petition for a jury trial, with Tacopina representing her interests in court. This would position him directly against her guardian.
Tacopina is known for his prowess in litigating complex cases, having recently achieved a significant victory in the trial concerning A$AP Rocky, establishing his reputation as a formidable advocate.
Meanwhile, although Wendy’s plans were foiled, it is understood that Joe Tacopina and Alex Finnie are still meeting privately for dinner, likely discussing critical strategies regarding Wendy’s guardianship and future legal avenues.
