‘The Audacity’: Wendy Williams’ Ex Shares Cryptic Message About People Being ‘Ungrateful’ After Her Relationship Advice to Tabitha Brown

Posted byBy Diamond Jeune | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Wendy Williams‘ ex-husband Kevin Hunter received extensive backlash on July 2 after posting an “ungrateful” Instagram Story following the daytime television talk show host’s warning to social media influencer Tabitha Brown. 

Hunter’s post came a day after Brown clapped back at Williams for expressing how she thought it was a bad idea that the actress encouraged her husband of 18 years, Chance Brown, to retire from the Los Angeles Police Department to pursue his lifelong dreams. The 56-year-old also used her past similar experiences with an unidentified ex to support her claims. She said, “Nope, I was married to one of those. You see how that turned out.”

Following Williams’ initial statement, Hunter took to social media with a message some social media users seemed to interpret as addressing his contributions to his failed marriage to Williams, which included producing her talk show.

Hunter said in a now-deleted Instagram Story, “I’m coming to realize that being ungrateful is a disease that only God can heal… That’s why you receive blessings regardless of a person’s actions…He doesn’t forget nothing!!!”

Although Williams never confirmed which ex she was referring to, many could assume it was Hunter, based on their rocky history. Williams and Hunter were married for 21 years and divorced in 2019 after the talent manager welcomed another child with his mistress, Sharina Hudson. 

Upon viewing his post many called out Hunter for his past indiscretions. One even replied to his Instagram Story claiming that the man above hasn’t forgotten about his cheating.

“If the audacity was a person.”

“And he ain’t forgot all you cheating and having a baby on YOUR WIFE WAYS✌🏾✌🏾.”

“If ungrateful was a n–a it would be Kelvin f–kboy Hunter. You’re the reason she’s warning women now. She don’t want anyone having a barnacle-like your a–.”

Williams and Hunter initially met in 1994 while she was hosting a kids skating party in New York City. The former couple ultimately tied the knot three years later and welcomed their only son Kevin Hunter Jr. in 2000.

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.
