Kevin Hunter Sr., the often criticized ex-husband of Wendy Williams, believes a close relative has played a major contributing role in the host’s mental and physical downward spiral. The former executive producer of “The Wendy Williams Show” pointed a finger at Wanda Williams, Wendy’s sister, in a scathing Instagram Story post, as backlash regarding those close to the media personality has flooded social media in the wake of Lifetime’s two-part documentary “Where is Wendy Williams?” airing.Wanda, along with her sister’s niece and nephew Alex and Travis Finnie, as well as Wendy’s son, Kevin Hunter Jr., and others, appear in the controversial project that gives fans a look at the former gossip maven’s health challenges over the last two years.Kevin Sr. was reportedly furious that the network chose to exploit Wendy and declined an invitation to lend his voice to the production. “Kevin was shocked to see his ex-wife portrayed in such a negative light in the Lifetime trailer,” and “he was also totally blindsided that their son, Kevin Jr., ended up signing onto the project after he initially said he wanted nothing to do with it,” a purported source told The US Sun. That fury was observed when he claimed that Wanda was in on the exploitation. He wrote, “Ok so everyone heard ‘f—k Kevin’ through docu-series..np the show took precedent over everything including family..what I guess they left out was that while she was in Florida getting recovery 3 yrs ago there were secret calls her SISTER would set up with Debar Mercury (MORT & IRA) with false pretense that she would be getting back..that was a lie and broke s—t more than anything.”The since-deleted post continued, “They only were trying to get her there to satisfy an insurance claim so they could obviously replace losses and the money that they were STEALING (5-15mil) and they wanted control her sister SISTER was trying to get ultimate control herself and was medical proxy @ the time..but her naïveté allowed her only to be PLAYED and once she got back to NY they kicked her sister out and she spiraled worse..I was involved @ the time…blood on alotta hands.”When asked if he ever took money from his mother’s account, Kevin Jr. told a producer, “Not without her consent.” Reactions online include someone who wrote, “I definitely don’t believe he was stealing. He def asked.” And another who remarked, “She been spoiling that man that’s the life he’s used to! I’d be mad as hell of strangers tried to come change my financial situation after my mom worked all her life for us to live comfortably!” Ahead of the “Where Is Wendy Williams?” Feb. 24 premiere, it was revealed that the Radio Hall of Fame inductee was diagnosed in 2023 with frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia, which severely impact cognitive function.
