• According to a lawsuit filed in New Jersey Supreme Court, Morrissey is demanding that her ex, Kevin Hunter, repay a total of $112,500 in child support payments that were “overpaid” over the course of three months
• In a separate court response, Hunter demanded the former talk show host pay him 23 months of back spousal support from the divorce

Sabrina Morrissey, the legal and financial guardian of Wendy Williams, is demanding that her ex-husband pay back child support payments that she believes were overpaid to him.

According to a lawsuit filed in New Jersey Supreme Court, Morrissey is demanding that her ex, Kevin Hunter, repay a total of $112,500 in child support payments that were “overpaid” over the course of three months. People reported.

But in a separate court response, Hunter demanded the former talk show host pay him 23 months of back spousal support from the divorce. He claims she stopped paying child support to him before she was granted legal guardianship, which oversees her finances and health, in May 2022.

Morrissey claims Hunter is entitled to severance pay from Williams if her annual income exceeds a certain threshold.

However, since she was not present as host of The Wendy Williams Show throughout last season, Team Williams claims that Hunter no longer met the criteria set out in the agreement and therefore must pay back the money he was overpaid along with him has accrued interest.

A judge appointed Sabrina Morrissey as Williams' financial guardian in March after her bank, Wells Fargo, requested a New York Supreme Court hearing to determine whether it was necessary because of her health. In a separate court response, Hunter, 52, demanded the former talk show host pay him 23 months of back spousal support from the divorce

“I believe this was largely due to the payments being made through an autopay feature on her account,” Morrissey alleged in the lawsuit. “Their residual income has been very low since 2021 and is nowhere near half of their February 2020 or October 2021 income.”

According to legal filings, Williams only received two payments after her exit from the show: a lump sum of $1,952 in February 2022 and $59 in January 2023.

As part of her divorce agreement with Hunter, he was to receive a severance package, but they were to terminate the agreement if Williams' annual earned income was “less than twice her then-current annual salary as of February 1, 2020,” the Morrissey lawsuit claims.

In addition to the financial dispute, Morrissey is also trying to impose a confidentiality agreement on Hunter that would prevent him from speaking about the Williams case.

She denied the allegations and accused her former manager and a Wells Fargo financial adviser of impropriety.

After undergoing a series of medical tests, the 59-year-old finally went public and announced that she had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia in February 2024, as reported by Page six.

Because she was absent from hosting The Wendy Williams Show throughout last season, Team Williams claims Hunter no longer meets the criteria set forth in the divorce settlement and therefore must pay back the money he was overpaid to The Asbury Park, along with accrued interest. New Jersey native, 59, has suffered from a number of health issues over the years, including a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia, as well as Graves' disease and lymphedema, while also struggling with addiction and thyroid problems; The former couple is seen in July 2018

A Medical report from CU Anschutz claims that her diagnosis, which includes loss of words or loss of language acquired over time, is similar to what longtime Hollywood leading man Bruce Willis is currently experiencing in his life.

Back in 2018, Williams revealed that she suffered from Graves' disease, which causes hyperthyroidism, a condition she had been diagnosed with nearly two decades earlier.

One of the symptoms of her thyroid disease is thinning of her natural hair, which is the main reason she has worn wigs over the years.

Following her return to her talk show in March 2019, her Hunter Foundation announced the launch of a substance abuse hotline, leading fans to believe that she had relapsed into her sobriety. Shortly thereafter, Williams came clean and admitted that she was living in a sober house.

In late 2019, Williams revealed that she had been diagnosed with lymphedema, a condition that causes swelling in the ankles.

The 13th and final season premiere of The Wendy Williams Show in September 2021 was delayed for several weeks due to Williams becoming ill with COVID-19 and ongoing complications from her Graves' disease and thyroid disease.

However, the season ultimately premiered on October 18 of that year, only with the hosts lining up for Williams.

There was discussion about whether Sherri Shepherd, who had supported Williams as interim host, might host a replacement show if Williams was unable to return.

Then, just a few weeks later, in late February 2022, Debmar-Mercury announced that The Wendy Williams Show would be replaced by Shepard's new show Sherri in the 2022–23 television season.

Hunter, a former hair salon owner, first met Williams at a skating rink in 1994 and then dated until they tied the knot in 1999.

The couple would welcome their 23-year-old son Kevin Hunter Jr. a year after their wedding.

Despite having no television experience, Hunter became his wife's manager and producing partner early in their relationship, eventually helping her launch her talk show in 2008, for which he served as executive producer. They can be seen in July 2018

Ultimately, after about 20 years of marriage, Williams filed for divorce in April 2019, citing “irreconcilable differences,” even though it was widely known that Hunter was involved in various cheating scandals.

Their divorce was finalized in January 2020, just two months before COVID-19 was declared a pandemic.

In total, Wendy Williams served as host of the nationally broadcast talk show for 13 seasons over a period of 14 years starting in 2008.
