In the complaint, Morrissey says that the contracts Williams may have signed, including an “on-camera talent agreement,” are invalid because they were not shared with her guardian. The filming for the documentary began in August 2022 and ended in April 2023 — one month before Williams’s initial diagnosis.

A&E has countersued Wendy Williams’ guardian Sabrina Morrissey amid the ongoing legal battle over the controversial Lifetime documentary about the former talk show host.

Morrissey has been pursuing legal action against A&E Television Networks, Lifetime Entertainment Services and others involved in the release of "Where is Wendy Williams?," a docuseries on Williams' abrupt exit from public life released in February.
