Why Wendy Williams' ex-husband filed lawsuit to end guardianship
Share this @internewscast.com

Kevin Hunter, former husband of Wendy Williams, initiated a $250 million lawsuit to terminate her guardianship in federal court following feelings of being “threatened” experienced by his son due to a New York state judge involved in his mother’s conservatorship case, as reported by a source to Page Six.

Hunter, aged 52, took it upon himself to file the lawsuit in New York on Tuesday on behalf of his son, the next of kin, because “there’s nobody else” available to undertake this action for the TV and radio star. 

“We know he’s not a great husband — he cheated, had a baby — but there’s nobody else. 

“It’s not a money grab. He’s not suing for money for him. He’s suing so Wendy can get compensation,” the source close to the situation told Page Six.

The source also said Wendy is aware of the lawsuit, denying a report by TMZ yesterday which said she knew nothing of it.

The legal action targets Williams’ court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, along with Wells Fargo bank — who initially raised concerns about Williams’ situation in 2022 — her former financial advisor Lori Schiller, ex-manager Bernie Young, alongside several other defendants.

“[Hunter’s] suing in Federal Court. If he tried to sue in State Court they’d dismiss it. When you’re going to Federal, the judge and the guardian can’t seal it. This was the only move to get some attention otherwise there’s nothing anybody can do,” the source said. 

Indeed, the source told Page Six Williams and Hunter’s 24-year-old son, Kevin Hunter Jr., has been “threatened” by the state court.

“When he was in college Wendy had a savings plan paying for his rent and tuition. They were threatening that they would take it away,” the source said.

Page Six has reached out to Williams’ attorney, Joe Tacopina and Morrisey for comment. 

On Tuesday, in the suit filed by Hunter — which uses Williams’ married name — charges: “Ms. Hunter, [is] being abused, neglected, and defrauded under the care of court-appointed guardians.

“Currently, Ms. Hunter is being confined against her will at one of Coterie’s assisted living facilities with restricted access to her own phone and meaningful contact with her friends and family.”

But Hunter, 52, claims in the court papers Williams – who has been diagnosed with Graves disease, frontal temporal dementia and progressive aphasia – is competent to make her own decisions, but her guardians are ignoring medical advice and keeping her in “fraudulent bondage.”

The lawsuit, which was obtained by The Post, claims Williams has been subjected to “overmedication and undue restrictions of her person,” and remains in care “despite Ms. Hunter passing a competency evaluation in or around March 2025.”
