Wendy Williams Facing Harsher Restrictions

This week a police report was filed after Wendy Williams left her court ordered assisted living facility without permission for a dinner date with her niece [click here if you missed that]. 

Turns out Wendy was already on thin ice with the judge presiding over her guardianship even before the unauthorized outing...

From TMZ

The judge in Wendy Williams' guardianship case is fed up with Wendy's "behavior" ... and wants her moved to another facility ... presumably with even tighter restrictions.

TMZ is privy to an email Judge Lisa Sokoloff fired off to Wendy's lawyer ... and the judge is having trouble hiding her contempt for the former talk show host. The judge references a prior hearing in which she ordered that Wendy be moved to a new facility.

Apparently Wendy's lawyer fired back saying it would be wrong to move her to an even more restrictive facility than where she is right now -- a residential facility called Coterie. The judge wrote in the email ... "I have always contended that [Wendy] will be given the independence she can handle. I question how well she has handled the independence she has been given."

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the judge is pissed off Wendy has been speaking to the media and grousing about the guardian, the guardianship and the facility she's in, which she calls a "luxury prison."

Our sources say the judge has repeatedly warned Wendy not to speak to the media, although the judge never explained why she had a problem with Wendy speaking out.

In another very recent email, Judge Sokoloff showed her hand pretty clearly, telling Wendy's lawyer, "Tell your client that if she wants a jury she should refrain from trying to poison the jury pool."
