Despite the accusations, Williams still believes her son Kevin Hunter Jr. is “a really good person.”
Wendy Williams revealed on Wednesday (Feb. 12) that her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., may have been the catalyst behind her guardianship. Ahead of visiting her family for her father’s 94th birthday this weekend, she’ll also be reunited with her 24-year-old son whom she said “took advantage of her financially and triggered her guardianship,” per TMZ.
The radio veteran opened up about the mishandling of her money in her new documentary, TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy. The guardianship came after Wells Fargo noticed an influx of unauthorized withdrawals. Williams believes her son and others were making the purchases, but he’s denied any wrongdoing.
“While [her son] Mr. Hunter apologized for past mistakes and inappropriate behavior, the court is not convinced that he can keep her safe and wouldn’t willingly or unwittingly expose her to financial exploitation,” TMZ reported per court documents from last September.
In the documentary, she told TMZ’s Harvey Levin, “My son, he overstepped his boundaries in terms of me. He overstepped his boundaries and he was inappropriately using my money without telling me crap about it.”
Williams continued, “Like, is he stealing from me? Look, all I know is that, in terms of what I’m dealing with, this is still going on, because that’s when my money got frozen at Wells Fargo, thank God. No more money stealing from my son and the other people.”
However, she does feel her only child has a good heart, but has been influenced badly by others.
“My son is a really good person. Look, my son is a good person. But at this point, he is a horrible person to me,” Williams explained. “The way he moves with other people, and what’s going on with these other people in my apartment in Miami. ‘What are you doing? Oh, you spent on what? What is going on at Wells Fargo?’ […] It’s about my money. It’s about holding my money and using it for other people and nothing for me.”
The documentary spotlights her life while in an assisted living facility, which she compared to a prison. “I want my life back. I want my freedom back,” Williams shared.
The former radio/television host also appeared on Levin and Mark Geragos’ podcast, 2 Angry Men, and admitted that she’s looking forward to seeing her son despite his alleged transgressions.
