Wendy Williams’ guardianship battle intensified after sources alleged a judge told her she has no hope of restarting her career.

Williams appeared before Judge Lisa Sokoloff, who criticized her niece, Alex Finnie, accusing her of leaking information to the media and threatening sanctions for any future conduct.

Williams said she feels like she is in prison as she fights to end her court-appointed guardianship.

Almost on cue, the situation escalated when Coterie, the assisted living facility where Williams lives on the fifth floor, called police and claimed Finnie had kidnapped her.

According to a report Coterie filed with the NYPD, Finnie evaded staff and took Williams out to an Italian restaurant.

After police were called, Williams and Finnie cited the incident as evidence of how restrictive the guardianship has allegedly become. Speaking to paparazzi outside the facility, Finnie noted that Williams’ guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, claims Williams can come and go freely and that no family visits are blocked. Finnie challenged that, pointing out that staff escorted Williams to the elevator, yet Coterie still called police.

“Clearly, they are lying to me when they say I can go out and do what I want to do,” Williams told the interviewer.

Williams said she can only leave the facility’s fifth-floor memory unit with permission and an attendant to unlock the elevator.

This week, a judge approved an emergency petition filed by Williams’ attorney to move her from what she called a “luxury prison” to a less restrictive environment. Judge Sokoloff granted the request, and Williams will relocate to a private condo where she will have more freedom to come and go and receive visitors
