‘The Shade of It All’: Wendy Williams Pokes Fun at Her Ex-Husband Kevin Hunter for Having a Baby with Another Woman During Their Marriage

Wendy Williams is throwing shots at her ex-husband Kevin Hunter for having a baby with another woman during the course of their marriage. The self-tilted talk show host recently shared a photo on Instagram of her holding 4-month-old Joyous Kamaya, whose mother is former TMZ reporter Raquel Harper.

Captured from the front, the image shows Wendy sitting in a car wearing a face mask, while baby Joyous is sucking on her thumb and reclining in Wendy’s lap. “Look @ me with my baby girl. I’m not the only Hunter with a baby situation,” the mother of one captioned the photo on Thursday, Aug. 13.

Wendy received over 45,000 likes and some 3,000 comments from fans admitting that her post made them laugh. One user wrote: “The shade of it all💀,” followed by somebody else who said, “😂😂😂😂 Wendy is too much!!!” Comments like “The pettiness on the post 🤣🤣🤣” and “Queen of all shade🙌🏼” also rolled in underneath the image.

Wendy filed for divorce in April 2019 after the television producer reportedly fathered a baby girl with a woman named Sharina Hudson. Kevin and Wendy were married for 21 years, although rumors swirled that Kevin was seeing his mistress for 10 of them.

The former radio personality confirmed Kevin fathered a love child in a 2019 interview with People. “Kevin had a major indiscretion that he will have to deal with for the rest of his life. An indiscretion that I will not deal with,” Wendy said. “I never thought that I would be in this position. I’m a very forgiving person, but there’s one thing that I could never be a part of, and that one thing happened.” She then went on to clarify that “Kevin has a daughter.”

In recent news, Wendy reportedly just sold the New Jersey mansion she shared with her ex-husband and their son Kevin Hunter Jr. for $1.475 million. The 56-year-old New Jersey native originally put the five-bedroom, four-bathroom property on the market for $2 million, but she allegedly had to reduce the price due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wendy moved out of their estate in August, around the same time she put their home up for sale, and now pays approximately $15,000 per month for her three-bedroom, three-bath apartment in New York’s Financial District.

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.
