A sealed lawsuit has been filed against A&E Networks just days before Lifetime's debut of a documentary on talk show host Wendy Williams. The lawsuit, lodged in New York Supreme Court on Thursday by Sabrina Morrissey, acting as the Temporary Guardian of W.W.H., also names Entertainment One Reality Productions. The legal action seeks injunctive relief, prompting an appeal from A&E Networks. Attorneys for Morrissey and A&E have yet to provide comments on the situation.

The forthcoming 4 1/2-hour two-night documentary titled "Where Is Wendy Williams?" is set to air on Saturday and Sunday, as announced earlier this month. The documentary promises an intimate look at Williams' life post-financial guardianship, highlighting her struggles with health issues and personal turmoil. With Williams herself serving as an executive producer on the project, viewers can expect a candid portrayal of her battles with mental and physical challenges.

The filings surrounding the lawsuit remain confidential, leaving the details of the legal dispute undisclosed. However, the tensions surrounding the airing of the documentary bring to light the complexities surrounding Williams' life and career as she navigates through significant hardships.
