Wendy Williams‘ guardian just filed a lawsuit against Lifetime’s parent company — and the timing is nothing short of suspicious, ’cause there’s a doc about her from them coming out.
A woman named Sabrina Morrisey — who says she’s acting in her capacity as temporary guardian of W.W.H. (presumably Wendy Williams Hunter) — just filed suit against A&E Television Networks, but she did it under seal … meaning the public can’t peep what exactly she’s running to court for.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, there are a few clues that could indicate what this might be about … and all signs seem point to some connection with the ‘Where is Wendy Williams’ 2-part doc that’s dropping Saturday.
For starters, Morrisey is seeking injunctive relief — which typically means you’re asking a judge to take some sort of action — and in this kind of lawsuit, it could be an action asking the court to block the release of the doc. Considering the doc’s release date is just a couple days away … that would make sense, although it’s impossible to tell for sure with the docs being under seal.
Morrisey is also seeking a temporary restraining order in her action — again, that often the mechanism when someone wants a judge to step in and halt a release of a film or television project.
Now, what’s interesting in the docs here is that the judge actually ordered all the docs to remain temporarily under seal — and set a hearing date for next week to determine whether they should stay that way as the case plays out.
Of course, the Wendy doc drops this weekend … and while the hearing on the sealing issue falls after the release date — it’s possible the court will rule on the merits of what Morrisey’s asking for … namely, injunctive relief against A&E — while the docs are temporarily sealed. No word yet on a ruling on that front.

We’ve reached out to Morrisey and A&E for comment … no word back from her yet, but A&E told us they had nothing to say about this.
