Wendy Williams 'only received $82K from Lifetime documentary' after guardian claimed show 'blatantly exploited her dementia'

Wendy Williams 'only received $82,000' from the controversial Lifetime documentary which chronicled her dementia and financial battles, a new complaint has claimed.

Now Williams' guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has filed a new lawsuit claiming the show 'blatantly exploited her dementia' while paying her a measly sum - and alleged the film sought to portray her in a 'demeaning manner' and made the star a 'laughing stock.' 'This case arises from the brutally calculated, deliberate actions of powerful and cravenly opportunistic media companies working together with a producer to knowingly exploit W.W.H., an acclaimed African-American entertainer who, tragically, suffers from dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated. Morrissey said in the legal complaint that Selby had misled her into granting permission to move forward with the project, as it would depict Williams in a positive light 'like a phoenix rising from the ashes' following years of illness that led to her show being cancelled.
