Wendy Williams Estranged Husband Kevin Hunter Reportedly Requesting Alimony and Child Support

Posted byBy Daryl Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Kevin Hunter, Wendy Williams‘ estranged husband, has filed his response to Williams’ divorce request, and he’s seeking alimony.

TMZ secured the legal documents, and the amount Hunter is looking for is said to be an incredibly high amount. Not only that, he wants Williams to pay child support for their 18-year-old son Kevin Jr. and take care of his college tuition as well.

Hunter was served with divorce papers on April 11 on the set of “The Wendy Williams Show” where he was executive producer. He’s since been ousted from that role and fired as Williams’ personal manager. She’s since hired famed TV producer Bernie Young to represent her, according to a recent Page Six report.

News of the split came amid longtime rumors of Hunter cheating and being physically abusive towards Williams. He’s also been linked to a woman named Sharina Hudson, who delivered a baby in March and Hunter is said to be the father.

Then shortly after Hunter was served, he broke his silence and didn’t deny the cheating allegations.

“I am not proud of my recent actions and take full accountability and apologize to my wife, my family and her amazing fans,” he wrote. “I am going through a time of self-reflection and am trying to right some wrongs.” 

The split also came shortly after Williams admitted to living in a sober facility for addiction, and once done the former radio host said she’d be creating a whole new life for herself and Kevin Jr.

Williams also said she’s received a call from her former radio sidekick Charlamagne Tha God since the split, and they planned to go to dinner together. This was after years the two weren’t speaking to each other, which Charlamagne said had everything to do with his strained relationship with Hunter.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
