Wendy Williams’ Lawyers Oppose Ex-Husband’s $250M Lawsuit Over Guardianship

Wendy Williams is embroiled in a contentious legal battle over her court-ordered guardianship, which was established in 2022 after concerns about her mental health and potential financial exploitation were raised by Wells Fargo. Her court-appointed lawyers have opposed a $250 million lawsuit filed by her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, who seeks to end the guardianship and accuses parties involved of misconduct, but Williams' legal team insists Hunter lacks authority to represent her and that she does not support his suit. Williams and her new attorney, Joe Tacopina, have announced plans to sue those responsible for her guardianship, describing the process as unjust and based on a misdiagnosis; Tacopina emphasized Williams is mentally competent and called the situation a cause rather than just a case. Williams, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia in 2023, disputes her incapacitation and is determined to regain her freedom. Tacopina's priority is to ensure Williams can return home and regain control over her life, highlighting the slow and difficult nature of exiting guardianship proceedings. The court has not yet ruled on these matters, while Williams and her family continue efforts to terminate the guardianship arrangement.
