Wendy Williams' guardian demands her ex-husband pay back $112,500 in child support | BANG Showbiz English
Wendy Williams' legal guardian has filed court documents demanding repayment of $112,500 in child support from her ex-husband Kevin Hunter.
The 59-year-old former talk show host was placed under conservatorship in early February 2022 when her bank intervened, claiming in a New York court that her behavior was “worrying.”
Her guardian Sabrina Morrissey has now claimed in court documents that Wendy's former partner Kevin – from whom the presenter divorced in 2020 after 21 years of marriage – was “overpaid” for three months and “unjustly enriched himself” through the star's bank account.
Sabrina added in documents obtained by Page Six that “The Wendy Williams Show” stopped paying the former host in October 2021, but Kevin continued to receive payments until January 2022, which he confirmed.
She says in her filing: “I believe this was largely due to the payments being placed on an 'autopay' feature within her account.”
Sabrina added that the payments “violate the express terms” of Wendy and Kevin's settlement agreement, which stated that his payments would stop if his ex-wife's income fell to “less than twice her then annual income (as of January 1). February 2020)” would decrease.
The newspaper goes on to say: “By withholding the funds he had been overpaid, he violated (Wendy's) ownership rights to those funds.”
Sabrina demands that Kevin not only repay the six-figure sum, but also repay the interest on the money.
She has also asked the court to impose a news blackout on him to prevent him from speaking to the “press or others” about the matter.
Sabrina stated in the documents: “The potential harm to (Wendy) is great.
“Mr. Hunter and his agents have demonstrated their willingness to speak to the press about these issues.”
Wendy reacted violently to the guardianship and described her financial lack of freedom in the two-part documentary “Where is Wendy Williams?”.
The Lifetime special also features Wendy's battle with dementia and aphasia, which her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., says are the result of her years of drinking.
Sabrina has accused A and E Networks, Lifetime's parent company, of “humiliating” Wendy by filming her “in an obviously disabled state” for the show.
