Wendy Williams’ Ex-Husband Talks Divorce After 21 Years Of Marriage, His Behind-the-Screens Experience, Dealing With Her Addiction And More
Kevin Hunter, ex-husband of American broadcaster and writer, Wendy Williams has opened up about his divorce from her.
Wendy, who shares a son, Kevin Jr. with Kevin, filed for divorce in April 2019 after Kevin fathered a child with his mistress, Sharina.
In a recent interview, Kevin, who cheated on Wendy while they were still married, spoke about his behind-the-screens experience, dealing with Wendy’s addiction, and his infidelity.
Speaking about their failed marriage, Kevin who was the former executive producer of The Wendy Williams Show, said,
“Truth be told we should’ve got a divorce ten years earlier. Even our son, Kevin said that to us.”
Kevin claims Wendy knew about his relationship with Sharina. He said:
“Wendy had caught me years before with Sharina and I came clean then and I asked her if she wanted to end the marriage and she didn’t so we stayed together. I was too afraid of what would happen to Wendy if I wasn’t there.”
Kevin also confirms that CharlamagneThaGod indeed introduced him to Sharina. He added that he gave Charlamagne his start. Kevin said:
“I let him live in my condo for free for like 6 or 7 years just helping him as much as I could, like a little brother. It wasn’t our family home or nothing like that so it was cool.
“In reality Wendy told me early on that Charlamagne was not who I thought he was. She turned out to be right.”

He praised Sharina for being his outlet saying, “there is no way that I or Wendy would have made it if I didn’t have her to turn to.”
Speaking about Wendy’s current predicament, he says,
“I will only say for now, that it breaks my heart to see what is happening to her. I know she is not in a good place and she is surrounded by people who are taking advantage of her condition including this so called guardianship.
When our son stepped up as a young man to take on the responsibility of his mother’s care I was so proud of him. That didn’t last long once the people controlling her did everything they could to get her away from him.
I knew it would be a bad thing. These people tried to say our son was taking advantage of his mother. That is a lie!”
Kevin Hunter Sr. recently filed legal documents to have his monthly payments from Wendy resumed, despite her health and financial challenges. This caused him to suffer a backlash from the public.
It’s unclear what exact payments Kevin is supposed to be receiving from Wendy, given that they both agreed to cover their own attorney fees and not pay any alimony.
But in court documents obtained by The Sun at the time, Kevin makes it clear that he’s not been receiving his monthly installments for a while and he’s asking a judge to get his ex to pay up.

Wendy’s lawyers argue that she hasn’t had a main source of income since she was cut off from her $10 million annual salary on “The Wendy Williams Show” in October last year.
The 58-year-old, who made a reported $55,000 per episode, not including bonuses, had her salary stripped from her the moment she no longer appeared on air due to her serious health issues.
“If, for any reason, [Plaintiffs] contract with Talk WW is not renewed and/or is otherwise suspended, canceled, or terminated and [Plaintiff] does not have any other television show being aired and paying her an equivalent salary, [Defendant] understands and agrees that all Severance Payment shall be subject to either termination or modification,”
the court docs filed by Wendy’s attorneys said.
The attorney added:
“Given that she has no other show airing on television and hasn’t been earning like she used to, it would be unreasonable for her to continue paying Kevin.”
Wendy had also been caught up in a legal war with Wells Fargo, whom she accused of freezing her account before accusing her of having dementia.
