Wendy Williams' assisted living facility has filed a police report claiming she'd been 'kidnapped' by a family member.
According to TMZ, Coterie, the New York-based facility where Williams claims she's been 'imprisoned' for the last eight months accused the TV star's niece, Alex Finnie, of breaking the law by taking her out to dinner on Wednesday night.
Insiders revealed that Finnie was in New York City on Wednesday to accompany Williams back to the Coterie from Lenox Hill Hospital, where she received a psychiatric evaluation earlier this week.
Finnie spent time with Williams in the facility's memory unit which costs $18,000 per month before taking her aunt to an Italian restaurant in the city that evening.
This prompted the Coterie to contact the NYPD and file a police report as they claimed Finnie 'evaded staff by taking Wendy out of the building,' insider alleged.
However, TMZ explained that Williams wouldn't have been allowed to leave the memory unit — which is located on the facility's fifth floor — without an attendant giving her elevator access.
They also claimed that Williams and her niece were escorted to the lobby by an attendant and that the attendant even 'opened the door' of the Uber that took them to the restaurant.
The ordeal contradicts recent claims made by Williams' guardian Sabrina Morrisey's attorney, who said in a letter to TMZ that Williams has no restrictions when it comes to family visits and that she can 'come and go' from the facility as she pleases.
The outlet caught up with Williams and her niece as they arrived back at Coterie after dinner.
Williams called the ordeal 'unbelievable' as she walked arm-in-arm with Finnie, who is the daughter of Williams' older sister Wanda.
'We came back to dinner and apparently police were called,' Finnie told cameras outside the building.
'I was told that, at some point, the police were called because the Coterie here was saying allegedly that I took my aunt from this facility and whisked her away without any sort of confirmation or approval,' she explained.
Williams said that the drastic measures allegedly taken by the facility is proof that her legal guardian is 'lying' about her living conditions.
'Clearly they are lying to me saying I can go out and do what I want to do. This is my niece Alex. She just flew in from Miami, ok? I just came from the hospital, so we are going out to celebrate,' Williams explained.
Williams got visibly choked up as she expressed shock over 'what [had] been done' to her and her niece.
Finnie insisted that both her and Williams are 'good and back [at the Coterie] in one piece.'
Before heading inside on her mobility scooter, Williams took aim at the facility as she exclaimed: 'These people are going to plead their case [regarding what happened]. I don't hear.'
According to Page Six, Williams and her niece dined at Max Tucci's Tucci restaurant, and that the TV star 'looked great' in a Gucci bomber jacket.
'She had a super time, she kept writing in her journal, she looked great,' an eyewitness claimed.
'Tomorrow she is going on 'The View.' Guests inside the restaurant respected her. She was with her niece and a young man.'
The police report debacle comes soon after Williams was rushed to hospital on Monday for a psychiatric evaluation after she was seen begging fans for help.
She has been fighting to be freed from her conservatorship while being 'imprisoned' at a New York-based assisted living facility, a claim her legal guardian denies after being diagnosed with progressive aphasia and dementia in 2023.
Williams said she passed her evaluation with 'flying colors' further putting the validity of her court-ordered guardianship into question.
