New York, July 5, 2025 – The ongoing legal and personal drama surrounding media icon Wendy Williams has taken another explosive turn. Her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., has publicly accused his father, Kevin Hunter Sr., of attempting to extort money from Wendy by manipulating her legal and financial situation.

In a strongly worded statement released earlier this week, Kevin Jr. called out his father for “exploiting Wendy’s condition” and trying to “profit off her vulnerability.”

“He doesn’t care about my mom’s health or well-being. All he wants is money – and he’s willing to push her deeper into crisis just to get it,” Kevin Jr. said.

Legal Demands or Blackmail?
According to sources close to the legal team representing Wendy Williams, Kevin Hunter Sr. allegedly submitted private legal requests demanding increased financial support from Wendy’s estate, despite their 2020 divorce and her ongoing guardianship since 2022.

“It’s outrageous. No one should be allowed to use the court system to extort a woman who’s already dealing with serious health issues,” a legal insider told us.

A History of Tension
Kevin Sr.’s relationship with Wendy publicly imploded following reports of infidelity and the birth of a child with another woman. Since the divorce, Wendy has faced numerous health and mental challenges, leading to a court-ordered guardianship over her finances and medical decisions.

Kevin Jr., now in his early 20s, has emerged as one of his mother’s most vocal protectors. In his statement, he vowed to “not let anyone – including his own father – cause her further harm.”

“This isn’t about family anymore. It’s about doing what’s right and protecting someone who can’t protect herself,” he added.

Hunter Sr. Responds
While Kevin Sr. has not commented directly on the latest accusations, his legal team has maintained that he is simply pursuing what they describe as “legitimate entitlements” from past agreements. They deny any wrongdoing or attempt at coercion.

Public Concern Mounts
The battle is drawing renewed public attention, especially in light of Wendy’s recent health updates and the controversial nature of her guardianship arrangement. Advocates for mental health and legal reform argue the case highlights how celebrities can become pawns in power struggles over money, even by those closest to them.

For now, Wendy remains under court-supervised care, with her inner circle – led by Kevin Jr. – determined to shield her from what they view as a new wave of financial and emotional exploitation.
