  Speaker 2: So you guys have been asking me for a Wendy
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Williams update, and I know the last time we talked
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: about Wendy Williams here on the podcast, I was giving
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: you guys a Mother's Day update, and I let you
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: know that Wendy Williams spent Mother's Day alone in you
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: know what she alleges and calls her luxury prison, which
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: is the room that she lives in and the facility
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: that she is currently housed in where you know, she
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: can't even let herself down in the elevator. If she
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: chooses to u there has to be a person to
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: escort her to do that. She has that permission to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: do everything. It's from you know, as as small as
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: just going out to dinner with friends and family. She
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: only has a phone in her room which she can
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: call out on. You are not able to call her.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: There is no computer. Her life is very, very different
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: than what we have ever known Wendy's life to be.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: But you guys, you know, if you've been following, you
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: know that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: If not, that's a brief little synopsis of you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: where things are with her right now. But the Jasmine
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Brand shout out to the Jasmine Brand broken exclusive that
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Wendy Williams ex husband Kevin Hunter will be planning that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Wendy Williams x husband Kevin Hunter will be doing a
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: sit down tail all interview with Gail King. Now they
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: say this sit down interview that he's going to be
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: doing with Gail King he's currently prepping for now. The
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: details of like what exactly he'll be talking about haven't
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: been disclosed. But Kevin Hunter has been very vocal and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: he has gone a lot. He's gone a lot to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: talk about because he's been going through financial battle or
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: legal roles as well as Wendy Williams when it comes
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to this conservatship conservativeship battle because the conservatorship controls Wendy
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Williams money. Kevin Hunter is currently involved in a lawsuit
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: against the Wendy Williams Show former production company Debor Mercury,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: claiming that he was wrongfully terminated after he split from
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Windy Williams back in twenty nineteen. If you guys remember,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: he was working kind of like as her like manager.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: He was helping her run the show a bit. He
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: was very involved, but after they split, he was fired.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Their divorce followed a highly publicized cheating scandal during which
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Kevin fathered a child with a woman. And when that
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: scandal came out, when reports of that scandal came out,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: it was reported that the woman lived, like, you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: just a few miles down from the house to him
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and Wendy Williams lived in in Jersey, And you know
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: that this had been something that was ongoing for some time.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And Wendy Williams herself, she had a choice, she had
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to talk about it on her show.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: That's how big this scandal was.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: But since the following of You Know Him leaving the show,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: him and Wendy Williams splitting. They went through a divorce.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: She was Wendy Williams was ordered to pay him money.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: He's been going through the media and making headlines for
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: some of the troubles that he's having with the money.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: He recently sold his Florida mansion. There's you know, been
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: headlines that he was being sued for credit card debt.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: There's been a ton of different things. But he's currently
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: going to battle with the conservatorship as well too because
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: because he I mean, he's fighting over to alimony money. So,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: according to a lawsuit that was filed back in April
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four, Wendy Williams Guardianship or guardian Sabrina
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Morrisey is demanding or was demanding still demanding because nothing
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: has been paid over one hundred thousand dollars in alimony
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: to be paid back by Kevin Hunter. Now Wendy Williams
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Guardian Sabrina Morrisey says that Kevin Hunter was overpaid for
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: three months of his alimony and was justly enriched by
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Wendy Williams bank account. This is the Wells Fargo account
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: that the Conservativeship claimed that they had to come in
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: and take over because it was being misused and mishandled properly.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: But in a separate court response, Kevin Hunter actually demanded
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: that the former talk show host Wendy Williams paid him
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: twenty three months and back payments for spossible support from
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: their divorce. Now, what Kevin Hunter is claiming or was
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: claiming back in April twenty twenty four, is that Wendy
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Williams allegedly stopped paying him alimony before she was placed
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: under a court ordered guardianship in May of twenty twenty
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: two that oversees her finances and her health. Now, both
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: parties agreed that, you know, their out of court mediation
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: at the time. So this is Wendy Williams and this
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: is Kevin Hunter. So for Wendy Williams the Conservativeship, they
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: both agreed that the out of court mediation that they
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: did failed. I guess you know, they were trying to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: have a conversation about what's old what's not and it
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: didn't work out. So Sabrina Morrissey actually brought the issue
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to court because she's trying to figure out what the
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: answer is now Kevin Hunter and his attorney at the time,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: you know, had no further comment about this. But again,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: there's been so many headlines since this about just different
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: things he's allegedly experienced financially, so I'm assuming that you know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: that's something they hold touch on in Gael King, but
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: also too, I mean, they do share a son together, right,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and although their son recently graduated from college and is
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: an adult in the world now, we have not heard
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Kevin Hunter Senior's take on just any of the things
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: thus far, right, like, not in a real way. There's
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: been you know, he's supposed things here and there on
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: social media. There's been little statements here and there as
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: well to media, but not a full sit down interview.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: So I think, yes, he's going to talk about the money.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: There's no way he cannot, especially because Whndy Williams herself
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: is claiming her money is under control by someone that
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: is not she has no say so, and someone that
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: she is alleging she doesn't want to be under the
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: control of and ultimately doesn't trust.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: But in addition to that they share a kid together.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: All of this stuff is happening publicly. Their son at
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: one point was even involved. You guys, remember when Wendy
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: william spoke to us here at the Breakfast Club. She
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: said that a part of this whole thing was her
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: son mismanaging you know, money, and we talked to her
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: about that, and she also spoke to you know, the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: TMZ team on their Tooby doc about this as well too,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: So it's going to be very interesting to hear. And
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: also too, I think what a lot of us or
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I know myself, would love to hear from Kevin Hunter
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: is if you could go back and do this all differently,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: would you, Because yes, Wendy Williams, you know, there were
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the addictions that she's talked about when it comes to
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: drinking and things of that nature, and you know, not
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: taking care of her health the way she should have
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: been taking care of her health. But man, doesn't seem
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: like such a spiral of things since the baby that
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Kevin Hunter had and the divorce and her having to
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: get public about the divorce and.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: You know, and I don't know if one plus one
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: equals too.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that I've spoken to her and that's
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: what she said to me, and you know, any of
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: those things.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: But as a woman.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I just know you know what that strain is like
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: when you got man problems, you got cheating problems.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And you got health like it's a lot to deal with.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: So I would love to and I hope and I
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: kind of know that Gail King, as a journal that
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: she is, will dive into let's take a step back,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: like let's really pull back the curtain here, because if
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: we really think about it, it was like such a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: tumble down effect. It's like we heard about the cheating,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: we heard about the baby, and then everything just tumbled
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: from there. And I would want to know if any
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: like if they have any conversations at all, him and
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: his son, him and Wendy's family, him and Wendy Williams,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: what have those been?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: What have they been? Now?
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: In other news, I told you guys that we are
• 9:56
