During her tenure as mayor and supervisor, Henyard was the subject of multiple investigations and legal proceedings concerning the mismanagement of public funds and official misconduct.

As of 2024, Henyard was under civil investigation by the Illinois Department of Human Rights and was named as a defendant in several lawsuits.
