EWhile her absence from daytime television is widely felt, media sleuth Wendy Williams still manages to make headlines for her always interesting (read: controversial!) personal life. The latest concerns her notorious ex-husband Kevin Hunter, who must now find a new way to pay the bills after a judge denied his request for future child support payments from his former multimillionaire.
As you might have guessed, the viral news has social media — hey, Black Twitter! – already acting. Below are some fun examples:

According to The Sun, a New Jersey judge ruled that Williams’ financial guardian, Hunter, would no longer have to pay child support after their divorce was finalized in January 2020. At that point, Hunter was receiving monthly payments in addition to a 50/50 payment they parted with on the sale of a mansion they once shared together in Livingston, New Jersey. The judge called Hunter’s request for continuation of child support after the checks ran out in February 2022 a “non-appearance” and further ordered that the “application be dismissed with prejudice.”
For more details, see below about the sun. We warn you…it’s getting pretty desperate:
“In his filing, Kevin told the court that his livelihood depended on the payments stipulated in their marriage contract.
“I’ve defaulted on most of my bills. I currently live in a community that requires payments to the Homeowners Association and I am in arrears on this bill.
“If the homeowners association dues aren’t paid, foreclosure will soon follow,” Kevin said in his court pleading of the home he shares with his baby mom and her beloved child.
“My car insurance wasn’t paid because I didn’t receive monthly severance payments.
“I’m behind on credit card payments because I haven’t had any money since severance payments were suspended,” Kevin continued in his filing.
‘My life has been severely impacted since the plaintiff stopped making payments under our settlement agreement.’”
If that didn’t scare you, Hunter, 50, also cites his lack of health insurance as another reason why child support payments should continue. He added that without those checks, a necessary hip surgery that causes him “daily pain” would be prohibitive, telling the court: “The fact that I’m not able to keep my life and my bills in order too pay is extremely noticeable to me. I can’t pay my bills and make my daily living.”
May we ask: Whose fault is that?!
Wendy’s attorney responded quite logically, explaining that the troubled talk show host has had no income of her own since October 2021, when her contract from The Wendy Williams Show was suspended. In short, where does he expect her to get a steady income to pay him? As our good sister Tisha Campbell told us exclusively at the Red Dress Collection 2023 concert recently, “How can you give to anyone when you’re sober?”
