Wendy Williams Denied Dinner with Niece and Lawyer
Published on April 9, 2025 at 5:44 PM PDT
Wendy Williams’ plans for a night out with her niece, Alex Finnie, and her new personal lawyer, Joe Tacopina, were abruptly halted by her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. The trio was set to have dinner at a New York City restaurant, but Wendy’s guardian put a stop to her leaving the assisted living facility, which Wendy has described as a “luxury prison.”
Despite previous claims from Morrissey’s lawyer that Wendy was not being kept from her family and could see them whenever she wanted, it seems that Wendy’s desires were not being honored. The exact reason for denying Wendy the opportunity to dine with Alex and Joe is unclear, but it may be related to Wendy’s strong desire to end the guardianship.
Sources suggest that if the judge does not end the guardianship soon, Wendy will demand a jury trial with Joe as her trial lawyer. This would potentially put Joe in direct opposition to the guardian, creating a legal showdown.
Joe Tacopina, known for his impressive courtroom victories, including the recent successful defense of A$AP Rocky, is a formidable force in legal proceedings. As Joe and Alex meet for dinner, it is likely that they are strategizing and discussing the best course of action moving forward.
Despite the roadblocks in Wendy’s path, it is clear that she is determined to fight for her freedom and autonomy. The ongoing legal battle surrounding her guardianship continues to unfold, with Joe Tacopina by her side as a key ally and advocate.
