The Wendy saga just took a wild turn¡­

Hunter, who was married to Wendy for over two decades before their chaotic 2020 split, filed the lawsuit in New York, slamming her current guardianship as ¡°punishment¡ªpure and simple.¡± Yes, you read that right. According to him, Wendy is being isolated, overmedicated, and basically locked up in a luxury care facility without cause.

Accusations are flying, and they are messy

The lawsuit does not hold back. It is coming for everyone, Wendy¡¯s legal guardian Sabrina Morrissey, Wells Fargo (who initially flagged financial concerns in 2022), ex-manager Bernie Young, and former financial advisor Lori Schiller.

Hunter¡¯s legal team alleges that instead of protecting Wendy, the guardianship is being used to control her finances and silence her. The suit accuses the caretakers of neglect, mismanaging payments, and even defaming her reputation. Apparently, Wendy passed a medical evaluation as recently as March 2025 and was described as ¡°alert and oriented,¡± yet no one has moved to end the guardianship.

¡°Coerced¡± into silence?

Hunter claims Wendy was coerced into agreeing to the guardianship under intense emotional pressure and financial crisis. Post-divorce, she was allegedly left scrambling to handle her money and health issues alone. Her ex believes those around her used that vulnerability to seize control. The suit paints a chilling picture of Wendy being stripped of phone access and real contact with loved ones.

Sources reveal the lawsuit is packed with 22 legal counts, including violations of disability rights, professional malpractice, negligence, and even unlawful isolation. Hunter¡¯s camp argues that Morrissey had ¡°unfettered¡± access to Wendy¡¯s assets but still missed key financial obligations¡ªallegedly risking Wendy¡¯s estate and reputation in the process.

A fight for freedom, or just another plot twist?

Now, the case demands a jury trial and seeks a colossal $250 million in damages. According to the filings, Wendy has lost roughly $20 million per year in potential income, not to mention her $80M estate, a $4M condo, and more than $10M in personal items.

One thing is clear, this case is not just about money. It is a war over control, truth, and the right to live freely. And knowing Wendy¡¯s legacy? She is not going down without a headline.
