Issa Confirmation: Wendy Williams Finally Acknowledges Ex’s ‘New Family’ During Interview

Wendy Williams admitted that her estranged husband Kevin Hunter had a child with another woman, and she also addressed rumors that he was going to be her business manager.

Williams addressed both subjects on Tuesday during a visit to “Sway in the Morning,” but first she said her divorce is moving rather slowly.

Williams served Hunter with divorce papers in April after he was rumored to have carried on a decade-long affair with Sharina Hudson, a woman he met through Charlamagne Tha God. Hudson gave birth on March 25, and Hunter is thought to be the father.

“There’s no divorce papers ready to be signed yet,” Williams told host Sway Calloway. “I want a divorce, like, yesterday. I want a divorce two months ago, three months ago. Whenever I found out, four months ago.”

“I want a divorce, and I want to be friends with Kevin,” she added. “I mean, and not because we have a son but because that was real love. I still love him just not in that way. You either in or you are out with me. I still have love for him, and I wish him the best in his new life with his new family.”

Earlier this week, the Daily Mail reported that Williams hired Hunter as her business manager and they were going to continue with their production company as well as charity work, which she said is a lie.

The New Jersey native also confirmed earlier reports that her manager is now the famed Hollywood producer Bernie Young.

“The only business that he can manage right now is to sign some divorce papers,” said Williams about Hunter. “I have a manager. It’s Bernie Young out there.”

Williams pretty much said the same words during another interview on the news show Fox 5 New York this week and also admitting to cutting off friends who may have known about the cheating.

“I made new friends and of course kicked to the curb, a lot of old friends … See something say something, OK, bye,” she stated.

Williams and Hunter share an 18-year-old son named Kevin Hunter Jr.

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.
