Report: Wendy Williams Removed All Signs of Ex Kevin Hunter on the Set of Show: ‘Completely Gutted’

Wendy Williams has made it clear that she’s ready for a brand new start after splitting from her ex Kevin Hunter in April.

On the personal side of things, Williams has secured a new singles pad in Manhattan after the breakup and has seemed to hit the social scene a lot more. The 54-year-old also revealed that she’s dating a doctor.

And professionally, after she fired Hunter as executive producer of “The Wendy Williams Show” in April, she reportedly cleaned out his office space to remove any sign of him. The office was then given to four audience coordinators to use.

“[Staffers] removed any trace of Kevin,” Page Six reported, citing an unnamed source. “It’s been completely gutted.”

The insider also said although Hunter wasn’t liked onset, he shielded Williams from much of the day-to-day hassles and questions from staff, which isn’t the case now. And that change has made things a lot more hectic for everyone.

“People didn’t like Kevin because he controlled access to Wendy,” relayed the source. “And now that he’s not there it’s chaotic in that people can walk up to Wendy now, and before you couldn’t.”

As reported, Williams served Hunter with divorce papers while onset after he was accused of fathering a child with his alleged mistress Sharina Hudson. He’s yet to say anything about the rumored lovechild but admitted wrongdoing back in April.

“I am not proud of my recent actions and take full accountability and apologize to my wife, my family and her amazing fans,” he said. “I am going through a time of self-reflection and am trying to right some wrongs. No matter what the outcome is or what the future holds, we are still the Hunter Family.”

Williams has yet to mention anything about gutting her ex’s office space.

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.
