Wendy Williams' ex Kevin Hunter seeks access to bank records in divorce case amid claim she has 'no money'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the ongoing legal battle between Wendy Williams and her ex-husband Kevin Hunter, new developments have emerged with the latter demanding access to the talk show host's financial records following claims she "has no more money", according to Radar Online.

Hunter has been arguing for access to the records since Sabrina Morrissey was appointed Williams' guardian attorney, citing a past mediation with Williams' counsel and Morrissey in December 2022, when they allegedly "agreed to provide statements to accounts and bank records they claimed to have gotten permission from the New York court to provide."

Wendy Williams' ex-husband demands access to her bank records amid financial dispute

Amidst the ongoing legal battle between Wendy Williams and her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, over financial matters, new details have emerged regarding the cessation of severance payments outlined in their marital settlement agreement.

Hunter claims that these payments abruptly stopped when Wells Fargo took control of Williams' bank accounts.

A source close to the negotiations revealed that during a meeting with the mediator, it was conveyed to Hunter and his team that there was a dire financial situation, with the mediator allegedly stating, "The reality is that there is no more money."

Williams herself echoed these sentiments in a recent docuseries 'Where is Wendy Williams?', where she admitted to facing financial difficulties.

"I have no money," she said. "And let me tell you something, if it happens to me, it can happen to you."

A few days later, Hunter followed up when his request never materialized in 2022, firing off an email to the mediator "and copied all parties addressing lack of transparency and bad faith in their lack of candor in mediation."

In fact, it wasn't until February 8, 2023 that "a letter was received from (Wendy's) counsel, stating that the Guardian was only providing bank statements for the months of November and December of 2022."

The late offer to review two months' worth of her records came with other stipulations that hadn't been discussed previously.

"The letter further stated that I could only review the documents in the mediator's office," he noted. "This was not the agreement, the agreement was from all the records from the date of dissolution until current."

Despite multiple requests made by Hunter for access to Williams' financial records, no progress had been made by July 2023. However, in a recent development, Hunter was compelled to provide a copy of his divorce settlement with Williams as part of an ongoing lawsuit against an insurance company.

Hunter filed a motion requesting a rehearing to reconsider the requirement for him to disclose his financial records considering his divorce settlement had nothing to do with the case at hand.

He expressed concerns that complying with the order could potentially expose private deals he is involved in and reveal information about third parties not connected to the lawsuit.

Wendy Williams docuseries maker regrets filming amid dementia diagnosis

Mike Ford, the producer of the Lifetime docuseries 'Where Is Wendy Williams?' has acknowledged that if they had been aware of Wendy Williams' diagnosis of dementia, the project would never have been undertaken, according to OK! Magazine.

Initially, the goal of the project was to document Williams' comeback as a podcast host. However, as filming progressed, Ford realized that the narrative was evolving into something entirely different.

Ford explained that at the outset of production, they simply intended to observe Williams and assess her well-being. But as filming continued, it became apparent that the story was taking a darker turn, revealing deeper issues in Williams' life.

"At the beginning of production, we just wanted to sit with Wendy and see how she was doing," Ford explained. "But as we filmed, it became evident that this wasn’t really going to be a career comeback story, that this was going to be a deeper story, and that there was something ultimately disturbing going on in Wendy’s life."

During filming, Ford was informed about a concerning incident involving Williams' struggle with alcohol and her subsequent admission to a treatment facility.

"We tried to be as transparent as possible, and the making of the film is as much a story in some ways as Wendy’s story itself," Ford elaborated. "And that’s why we intentionally left a lot of the questions in — we wanted people to understand the journey of the filmmakers and how upsetting it was for all of us in certain instances and also how outrageous in some ways the situations were."
