Once a trusted source of the hottest celebrity tea, talk show host Wendy Williams has found herself at the center of a little messiness of her own.
Suggested Reading
The Root has continued to report on Williamsโ ongoing health issues and financial woes.ย For example, the host stopped making alimony payments to her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, back in February. But now that heโs been cut off, Hunter is crying broke. Wendyโs ex claims he canโt pay his bills and is facing foreclosure on his home. And he is asking a court to intervene.
Williams was released from a wellness facility in October. And now, Hunter is looking to force her guardian to pay him so he doesnโt lose his home. โI have fallen behind on most of my bills. I currently live in a community that requires payments to the homeowners association and Iโm behind on that bill,โ Hunter said in his appeal to the court for help. โIf the homeowners association fees are not paid, foreclosure will soon follow.โ
Just in case you forgot, Williams and Hunter ended their over 20-year marriage in January 2020 after Hunter impregnanted a woman with whom heโd had an affair. Hunter now shares the home heโs afraid of losing with his mistress, Sharina Hudson, and their love child.
Itโs also important to note that, as The Sun reported, the former talk show host has not been paid from The Wendy Williams Show since October of 2021, and she does not have any other gigs lined up at this time. โOn October 15, of 2021 plaintiff was informed by Talk WW that her contract was being suspended and that no compensation shall accrue or be payable to plaintiff for the duration of plaintiffโs disability and incapacity,โ Wendyโs attorney explained.
The attorney also pointed out that the coupleโs divorce settlement agreement calls for payments to be adjusted or cancelled in the event that Wendy wasnโt working.
โIf, 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.โ
Looks like Hunter, once executive producer of The Wendy Williams Show, needs to start looking for a new job.
