A&E later filed a counterclaim, denying these allegations.
Williams said on the radio program, “I only watched [the docuseries] once and I will never watch again in life. It was disgusting, and by the way, I watched it with my guardianship person. Yes, we watched that together. That was the first time this guardianship person was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ and she was writing stuff down. I was looking like, ‘Oh my god,’ do you know what I’m saying? What happened with this?”
Despite the lawsuit, Williams insisted she was still interested in working with Lifetime in the future. She explained, “I’ve worked with Lifetime several times. Enough that I would love to do something with Lifetime again. They are good people to me and I am good people to them.”
After her interview on The Breakfast Club, Morrissey shared her concerns in a new court filing. (Williams had also stated she wasn’t “incapacitated” on The Don Lemon Show on Jan. 16 and during another appearance on The Breakfast Club the same day.)
The court filing stated, “In these statements, [Williams] has indicated that, in her opinion, she is not suffering from dementia and is not incapacitated. We are writing this letter today because, during a radio interview this morning, [Williams] discussed the A&E matter at some length and appeared to indicate that she does not want to proceed with the action.”
Morrissey claimed she brought the lawsuit against A&E to “recover substantial monetary damages for the benefit of [Williams], which could be used to help pay for [her] significant healthcare needs going forward.”
