Wendy Williams snubs son Kevin as she wishes followers Happy Mother's Day amid legal guardianship

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Wendy Williams snubbed her son, Kevin Hunter Jr, in a recent Instagram post where the former talk show host's account posted for Mother's Day.

The new video was posted to Williams' Instagram account on Saturday, May 10 - a short video spreading Mother's Day love to all of Wendy's followers, but it didn't feature her son, per TMZ.

The post's caption read, "HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY TO ALL MOMS. We’d also like to take this time to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you who have gotten behind exposing this horrific situation."

"Every prayer, every like, every comment, every video, every signature on our petitions, WENDY THANKS YOU!!! We ask for your continued alliance as we continue to push forward with actions. Updates coming soon!!," the caption added.

However, it is unclear if Wendy put together this post herself, or it was done by a social media manager. But either way, there was no mention of Hunter Jr as Williams herself is a mother.

This happens amid Hunter Jr and Wendy Williams' drama as she believes her son took advantage of her financially and triggered the guardianship she's fighting to get out of, per the outlet.

She said during the '2 Angry Men' podcast that she has forgiven her son despite his mistakes. However, she told the outlet in their documentary 'Saving Wendy' that Hunter Jr wasn't being a good person to her.

Wendy Williams didn't know she'd 'have no rights' under legal guardianship

Wendy's healthcare advocate Ginalisa Monterroso told People in April 2025 that Williams initially wanted to be placed in a guardianship with the courts, but didn't know all her rights would be taken away.

The former talk show host has been living under legal guardianship since May 2022, which oversees both her finances and health.

She currently lives in a luxury high-rise assisted-living facility in New York to address her cognitive issues and dementia diagnosis, according to the outlet.

In 2022, Hunter Jr, and Williams' ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, faced public scrutiny when court filings showed that Wells Fargo froze her accounts after her financial adviser, Lori Schiller, alleged she was of "unsound mind", per People.

Moreover, the outlet reported that in a letter to the court in February 2022, Williams claimed Fargo had "denied her any access, whether online or otherwise, to her financial accounts, assets, and statements" for more than two weeks.

Interestingly, Hunter Jr was Williams' power of attorney and took a large sum of money from her account, which raised flags at the bank.

Meanwhile, the bank petitioned a New York court to have Williams first placed under temporary financial guardianship that eventually turned into full guardianship under New York's law, according to People.

The court documents also mentioned that Fargo had "several million dollars" of Williams' funds in its possession.

The bank mentioned in its filings to the court that it froze the funds as "Wells Fargo has strong reason to believe that Williams is the victim of undue influence and financial exploitation."
