Despite their “team efforts” to build her empire, it is becoming clear that Wendy Williams was truly the sole driving force in her career and household. Ex-husband Kevin Hunter served as her manager and executive producer, but since their divorce and her show falling apart, it seems he is at the mercy of Williams and her financial woes. Their son Kevin Hunter Jr. is now getting mixed up in the mess as well, and it looks like things for the family will continue to get worst before they get better.
Wendy Williams ran a media empire. The Wendy Williams Show was one of the biggest talk show on television, and she used it to get her hands into everything from books to films, fashion, and more. Williams was on top of the world but took a swift fall from grace thanks to a cheating scandal that led to divorce and serious health issues, completely derailing her career.
Fans had been hoping that Williams would bounce back, but the few television appearances she made after a year in rehab left everyone very concerned. Throughout it all, Kevin Hunter Sr. gave his opinions from the sidelines, criticizing Williams’s team while living happily with his mistress and new baby. When it was revealed that Wendy’s bank accounts had been frozen, that’s when both Kevins began scrambling, trying to salvage themselves before everything went under. Big Kevin was accused by many of being the reason for Williams’s downfall, while her son was also accused of being the reason for her financial woes, thanks to him running up her American Express cards.
Wendy reportedly stopped speaking to Kevin Jr. after a recent stint in Rehab, and Kevin Sr. has been complaining about payments stopping, possibly residual checks from the show or relating to his work as her manager. Williams is getting the last laugh hitting everyone who left her for dead where it hurts, their pockets. Kevin took to social media to vent about his missed payment and how he was taking Williams and her team to court. He alleged that it had nothing to do with Wendy and everything to do with getting what was rightfully his. He also talked about wanting to make sure his son was ok. Days later, it was revealed that Kevin Sr. was facing foreclosure on his home.
According to court documents, Kevin Sr. has not been able to receive any money since Williams was put on a conservatorship back in February and will soon be out of a home. Their son is also facing homelessness as it was revealed that he has been evicted from his $2 million dollar Miami apartment. He reportedly owes $70k in back rent. Williams had been funding his whole life in Miami but had to stop when she was cut off from her money.
