Wendy Williams Says Her Son Stole Her Money, Triggered Her Guardianship

In a shocking revelation, Wendy Williams has opened up about the financial turmoil that led to her being placed under guardianship, and she believes her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., may be at the center of it.

The iconic radio and TV personality made the emotional claims in her new documentary, TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy, now streaming on Tubi, shedding light on the strained relationship with her son and the alleged mismanagement of her finances.

Wendy Williams disclosed on Wednesday (Feb. 12) that her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., might have played a key role in her guardianship. Before heading to see her family for her father’s 94th birthday this weekend, she will also reconnect with her 24-year-old son, whom she claims “exploited her financially and prompted her guardianship,” according to TMZ.

“My son, he overstepped his boundaries in terms of me. He overstepped his boundaries, and he was inappropriately using my money without telling me crap about it,” Wendy Williams disclosed to TMZ’s Harvey Levin while speaking from her facility in New York City.

“Like, is he stealing from me? Look, all I know is that, in terms of what I’m dealing with, this is still going on because that’s when my money got frozen at Wells Fargo, thank God. No more money stealing from my son and the other people,” she continued.

According to court documents from the previous September, TMZ reported, “While Mr. Hunter apologized for past mistakes and inappropriate behavior, the court is not convinced that he can keep her safe and wouldn’t willingly or unwittingly expose her to financial exploitation.”

Nonetheless, Wendy Williams believes that her sole child possesses a good heart but has been negatively influenced by others.

“My son is a really good person. Look, my son is a good person. But at this point, he is a horrible person to me,” she explained. “The way he moves with other people, and what’s going on with these other people in my apartment in Miami. ‘What are you doing? Oh, you spent on what? What is going on at Wells Fargo?’ It’s about my money. It’s about holding my money and using it for other people and nothing for me.”

In other developments, the ex-talk show host submitted an affidavit on Wednesday afternoon requesting that a judge terminate her guardianship. According to sources, the 60-year-old asserted that she has “regained the capacity” to operate independently without her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, who has managed her finances since 2022.

Wendy Williams is scheduled to undergo a re-evaluation by a doctor next Tuesday, with the physician specifically chosen by Wendy’s legal team to facilitate the end of her guardianship.
