Sabrina Morrissey faces backlash after Wendy Williams’ Breakfast Club interview
Wendy Williams appeared on the Breakfast Club, discussing the challenges she faces under her conservatorship. For context, a conservatorship is a legal arrangement where a court appoints a guardian to make decisions for individuals unable to do so due to health or psychological issues.
In the interview, Wendy Williams denied being “cognitively impaired.” She described her experience at the New York care facility as feeling like “prison” (via Variety). She revealed she has only $15 to her name. Her guardian, Morrissey, took away her previous phone. Now, she uses a cellphone that only allows outgoing calls, which leaves her feeling isolated.
Williams became emotional as she shared her struggles, describing her conservatorship as deeply restrictive. Her niece, Alex Finnie, joined her during the interview, offering support as Williams recounted her experiences. Her emotional revelations have fueled public outcry, with fans rallying around her using the hashtag #FreeWendy.
Fans took to social media, accusing Morrissey of mistreating Williams and effectively holding her captive. Many drew parallels between Williams’ situation and Britney Spears’ conservatorship, launching petitions and campaigns to advocate for her freedom.
Supporters urge others to voice their concerns about the alleged mistreatment. They call for justice for Williams and hope for a resolution similar to Spears’ case. Messages of support flood social media platforms. The #FreeWendy movement gains global traction, amplifying calls for accountability and transparency in guardianship cases.
