Earlier this week, Wendy Williams went to dinner at an Italian restaurant with her niece Alex Finnie, who had just flown in from Miami. While this seemed to provide the beloved former talker show host with a much-needed break from the assisted living facility she's been staying at in New York, their fun didn't last long. Yesterday, TMZ reported that the assisted living facility had filed a police report against Finnie, accusing her of breaking the law by taking her aunt out of the building without permission.
According to a letter the outlet received from Williams' guardian's legal team, the personality is free to come and go as she pleases. It's unclear why her outing with her niece raised so much concern. The duo returned to the assisted living facility after finishing their meal, where TMZ caught up with them. When asked about the allegations against Finnie, Williams called them "unbelievable."
Wendy Williams' Guardianship
“Clearly they are lying to me when they say I can go out and do what I want to do," she also said. "We are going out to celebrate [life] and this is what has been done to us." This latest ordeal comes after months of public concern about Williams' guardianship. Reportedly, she's suffering from dementia and aphasia, which her guardian Sabrina Morrissey claims has left her "permanently incapacitated."
Williams denies this, however, stating on multiple occasions that she does not need constant supervision. "I am not cognitively impaired," she said during an appearance on The Breakfast Club back in January. "But I feel like I am in prison. I'm in this place where the people are in their 90s and their 80s and their 70s. There's something wrong with these people here on this floor."
