It didn’t take long for Kevin Hunter to confess to being financially dependent on Wendy Williams. Despite retaining his business interests and fancy cars post-divorce, he admitted he was practically tethered to Williams’ bank account, thanks to the regular payouts. When those payments halted in February 2022 — coinciding with Wells Fargo deeming Williams as an “incapacitated person” needing guardianship — Hunter found himself in a financial slump. By November 2022, with Williams under official guardianship, Hunter took things to court, asking his ex-wife’s guardian “to make payments as contractually required under the MSA and Severance Agreement.”
Per documents obtained by The U.S. Sun at the time, he admitted to drowning in unpaid bills. He was behind on homeowner association fees, car insurance, and credit card bills, and even faced the potential foreclosure of his home. “My life has been greatly affected since the plaintiff stopped making payments under our settlement agreement,” he said. However, a judge waved off his claims as “not emergent” and dismissed his application “without prejudice,” according to the outlet.
Hunter seems ready to battle on. In March 2024, after a round of unsuccessful mediation, he was back at it, demanding money from Williams yet again. Declaring his financial woes urgent, he asked the court to coerce his ex to cough up overdue severance pay, which was around two years’ worth of payments at that point. Per The U.S. Sun, he noted in his court filing, “I rely on the severance pay for my living expenses and having been without this income for twenty-three months has affected me greatly.”
