Wendy Williams’s Husband Speaks Out

Kevin Hunter is speaking out about the health of his wife, our friend Wendy Williams, following multiple allegations that he’s too controlling and is dominating her career moves in an aggressive way.

“Wendy is doing well,” Kevin said to Entertainment Tonight. “We’re doing well as a family. We are moving forward with working on her sobriety and doing the work to help others, not just ourselves. It is a family process. Anybody that has to deal with this knows this is a family process … and we are dealing with it and moving forward.”

The two have been married since 1997, and have been plagued by rumors of infidelity and abuse. In fact, a source told Page Six this week that Kevin forced Wendy into staying at the sober house.

“No one thinks it’s the right place for Wendy. She seems so frail and vulnerable,” the insider said. “It’s frightening just how completely under Kevin’s control Wendy is … But she won’t hear a word against him. Those close to her are terrified something awful is going to happen. She comes to the set looking terrible.”

When Wendy returned to her talk show after a two-month hiatus, she appeared to address the rumors surrounding her marriage: “I’m still very much in love with my husband,” she said. “Don’t ask me about mine.” Pointing to her wedding ring, Williams added, “It ain’t going anywhere. Not in this lifetime.”
