She Lets Him Steamroll Her

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] After battling an ongoing drug problem, this TV woman is now clean… but scared.

That’s why she is lying about her marriage.

She knows her marriage is doomed, but she has been so dependent on him for so many years, it’s like a bad habit that she doesn’t know how to stop. She keeps saying that they are fine but that’s a lie. She lets him steamroll her when it comes to other women. He’s just playing her now and she’s letting it happen because she is scared.

What makes it twice as hard is that their personal and professional lives are so intertwined. They fight every day. Some days she is calling him names and screaming at him to get out and then the next day she is begging him not to leave her. It’s sad to watch.

She always seemed like such a strong person. We hope she finds the strength to sever both her personal and professional ties with him.

TV Woman:

[Optional] Do you think she will divorce him?

SOLVED!

TV Woman: Wendy Williams

Wendy Williams has been married to a controlling, abusive man for twenty years.

We asked: Do you think she will divorce him?

Today the answer is YES!

Wendy Williams has filed for divorce from Kevin Hunter!

From The New York Post:

Wendy Williams files for divorce from husband Kevin Hunter

After persistent cheating rumors and breakup buzz, it’s over for Wendy Williams and Kevin Hunter.

The talk show host is divorcing her husband of nearly 22 years, Williams’ attorney confirmed to Page Six on Thursday. A source told us Williams, who filed in Essex County, NJ, served Hunter with divorce papers at 6:30 a.m.

“Thank you to everyone for respecting the family’s privacy during this time,” the personal representative for Williams told Page Six in a statement. “Kevin is supportive of Wendy and they are working through this process together.”

The split comes amid renewed rumors that Hunter has been cheating on Williams, 54, with a woman named Sharina Hudson, who gave birth to a baby suspected to be Hunter’s last month.

The divorce news comes after Williams notably flaunted her lack of a wedding band early Thursday on her hairstylist’s and makeup artist’s social media.

Rumors of infidelity have plagued the couple for a few years, though Williams never confirmed them. She vaguely addressed her marital woes on her show earlier this year, cryptically telling viewers after she returned from a two-month hiatus that her wedding ring would always stay on her hand.

“I’m still very much in love with my husband,” she said. “Don’t ask me about mine.” Pointing to her wedding ring, Williams added, “It ain’t going anywhere. Not in this lifetime.”

However, her ring apparently did go somewhere. On March 25, upon leaving the sober living facility where she has been staying after receiving help for addiction in Florida (though she previously told viewers she was seeking treatment for her Graves’ disease), the morning show host was spotted without her flashy jewelry. She appeared to put it back on to tape her show later that day, but an insider had told us it wasn’t her real ring.

Infidelity wasn’t the only rumor to swirl about Williams and Hunter’s marriage. Sources previously told The Post that Hunter’s allegedly abusive behavior ultimately led to the unraveling that prompted Williams to relapse.

“She would hide in the bathroom and tell me to knock on the door when he left the office so she wouldn’t have to see him,” an intern from Williams’ former radio show told The Post, adding that it was common for Hunter to pull Williams into a private room and for staff to hear them fighting.

“You’d hear slaps or some type of tussling going on,” said the intern.

Williams has been open about her past addiction to cocaine and crack.

Friends of Williams have publicly expressed concern for her and her poor health as she remained in her seemingly tumultuous marriage, with longtime pal Paul Porter previously telling The Post that divorce was her only hope.

Porter, who said he’s talked with Williams a hundred times in the past two years, said Williams’ husband, the executive producer of “The Wendy Williams Show,” is a “control freak” and “a terror.”

He said they went to couples counseling, but “for some reason, she can’t break away.”

Former friend Charlamagne Tha God expressed concern on his radio show “The Breakfast Club,” saying Hunter was “sucking the life out of” Williams.

He also admitted he introduced Hunter to his alleged mistress 10 years ago, but it was solely for business purposes.

“Just because I introduce you to someone doesn’t mean 10 years later you need to be in a picture with them showing all your teeth and her throwing up duck lips and a peace sign,” Charlamagne said.

Williams and Hunter met at a skating rink in 1994, tied the knot three years later and welcomed their son, 19-year-old Kevin Hunter Jr., in 2000.

Congratulations to Wendy Williams for getting out of that horrible marriage!

    Kick him to the curb. She should have spent her hiatus in therapy and meeting with a divorce atty. She will continue to put up with him unless something goes very public.

  5. Wendy Williams…optional: if she didn’t leave him after all the mistresses, chances are she wont

  6. Wendy Williams. This explains a lot. They will get a divorce, but they will get there only after dragging it out and getting to a point where they have no other choice. It’s very sad.

  15. I’m getting one of those ‘home remodeling show’ vibes here so I’ll say TV Woman is Joanna Gaines.
    I’m probably totally wrong… but am having fun guessing and reading all of the rest of the suggestions!

  20. Wendy Williams. Not sure if she’ll leave him. She’s almost used to being a professional doormat

  25. Wendy Williams

    Nope. She’s insecure and had too much fun talking crap about others so her turn will be brutal.

  29. Wendy Williams. Just trying to shut people up without making the hard move.

  33. Wendy Williams

    Optional: Yes, after more years, more denial and much more pain.

  34. Wendy Williams
    The first step to wholeness and well-being is to surround yourself with those that want to see you truly succeed mentally physically and spiritually… then dump the b&st&rd.

  41. TV Woman: Wendy Williams
    [Optional] Do you think she will divorce him? No, unfortunately he will either kill her or it will take something MAJOR before she leaves him. After watching Monday’s show I was very disappointed how she threw Jussie S under the bus about LIES and then lies about her own life. Either stop throwing stones at a glass house or GTFU of your own house. Lost a ton of respect for her and I’m done watching the show. If Tamara Braxton can get out of her situation so can Wendy.

  43. Wendy Williams
    No, he will have to divorce her. Cancer’s hold on until the very end.

  44. Wendy Williams
    I hope so as this is not the way to live especially when you have health issues that can be exasperated from unnecessary stress. My business was once intertwined with my ex-husband, the father of my only child. He got extremely abusive after 16 yrs so I got out for the sake of our child (then for myself after as my self-esteem was on the ground due to feeling inadequate because I was born with a lot of health issues; I had a great career based on a lot of hard work, though).

    • Congrats for getting out and saving yourself and your child!! I hope that you know that you are a very strong and kick a$$ woman. I wish more women were like you!

  45. Wendy Williams
    She should and she might in the future but I can’t see her doing it now. She’s too busy pretending to the public that their marriage is fine.

  48. This is absolutely Wendy Williams in regard to her marriage with Kevin. This is so sad to me….
