BLIND GOSSIP

The #1 Blind Item Site in the World!

Something Really Blackmaily

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] Behind the scenes of this TV show that has been on the air for many years, the staff and crew are in chaos!

They are stunned by recent events and are preparing to jump ship.

Remember after the election when people who supported Hillary were crying and screaming, “NOOOOoooo!” at the top of their lungs? It’s like that here. Only worse.

What’s causing all the drama? The possible return of one of The Star’s relatives.

Dude is a Machiavellian psychopath. He makes her crazy and he makes all of us crazy. He’s got her convinced that her show will fail without him. I’m telling you that her show will fail WITH him, because we are all getting ready to quit if he comes back!

The smart move was for The Star to cut him out completely. He somehow weaseled his way back in. How?

He’s controlling, but it’s more than that. The internal chatter here is that he has some photos/videos of her that are really blackmaily and career-ending.

Something really blackmaily would certainly do it!

[Optional] What would you do if you were her?

SOLVED!

The Star: Wendy Williams

It’s been a busy week for talk show host Wendy Williams!

First, she was criticized for talking about Joaquin Phoenix’s scar on air.

Williams said “When he shaves off his mustache he’s got a hairline fracture. He’s got one of those — what do you call it? Cleft lip, cleft palate,” she said, and then used her finger to make one side of her mouth bigger.

Of course, that caused thousands of people to jump on the internet and petition to get her fired from her job.

In case you were wondering, Joaquin Phoenix’s scar is the result of a cleft lip.

Williams has since apologized for her comment.

Secondly, there was some controversy over Wendy Williams farting on air.

Wendy Williams says she did not fart. She did not smelt it, so she did not dealt it. Or something like that.

Third, there was the announcement that Wendy Williams and her husband have finalized their divorce!

From UPI:

Wendy Williams, Kevin Hunter finalize divorce

Wendy Williams and her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, have finalized their divorce.

Us Weekly confirmed Thursday that Williams, 55, and Hunter, 47, reached a settlement in their divorce Tuesday.

Page Six reported Williams and Hunter both agreed to forgo alimony. Williams will keep a $1 million life insurance policy on herself that benefits Hunter, but has the right to reduce the amount every year.

Williams will also cover Hunter’s health insurance under her current policy.

TMZ said Williams and Hunter will split the profits from their Livingston, N.J., house, which is up for sale. Williams will keep the pair’s furniture, sans one sculpture, while Hunter gets his Ferrari and Rolls-Royce.

In addition, Williams will keep the pair’s house in Florida, while Hunter will receive the profits from another home he recently sold in Morristown, N.J.

Williams filed for divorce in April after 21 years of marriage. The split followed reports Hunter had cheated and fathered an illegitimate child with Sharina Hudson.

Williams and Hunter have one child, son Kevin Hunter, Jr., 19.

Williams has hosted the Wendy Williams Show since 2008.

It took a while, but the divorce from that dirty dog finally happened.

Fourth, what about the concerns of the employees that we talked about in the original blind item who couldn’t stand working with Hunter any longer?

If you recall, even after Williams had announced their divorce, her creepy, controlling husband managed to talk her into letting him keep his job on her show.

Well, there’s some good news.

Hunter has agreed to sell his equal shares in Wendy Williams Productions, Inc., to Williams, making her the sole owner of the company. Hunter will receive a lump sum and severance package.

That means he’s out!

Good thing, too, because those employees were ready to quit if he had stayed!

Finally, what about the “really blackmaily” thing that Hunter was supposedly hanging over Williams’ head?

Well, now that the divorce and business affairs are settled, it is safe to assume that those settlements included a Non-Disclosure Agreement to silence Hunter from here on out. Therefore, we will probably never find out what that blackmaily thing was.

Congratulations to Bestguesstester for being first with the correct response!

And congratulations to Wendy Williams on her divorce!

    Wendy Williams. And for the record, I don’t think it’s blackmail, I think she enjoys all of drama of being a weak woman.

    • Lindasu says

      No kidding! Here’s a woman who’s show is merely for her to trash other celebs about their lives. I’ve heard her more than once publicly call folks out over things that are really none of her business. So now SHE’s in this boat and I just can’t drum up any empathy. Karma!

    Wendy Williams

    Kevin Hunter is a snake and she deserves better.

    Also, that picture makes me laugh every time I see it. Lol.

  5. Elliegurl says

    Is this Wendy Williams? And she let her husband take ‘career-ending photos AND videos’???
    If true, she deserves to lose her career.

    What would you do if you were her?
    Drink.. heavily
    …..and quietly disappear.

    Wendy Williams and her soon-to-be-ex (?) Kevin Hunter.

    Don’t know where to start, so many bad life choices…

  12. JoshuaTree says

    Wendy Williams. Just hired estranged husband Kevin Hunter back as her business manager.

  13. 4sixx2 says

    Wendy Williams and her estranged husband. Girl really needs to go away and gets her self better.

  14. Tequila Mama says

    Wendy Williams and Kevin Hunter.

    Put him on a very short leash and try and get the photos/video back. I would fire him if I could get the damaging stuff.

  15. HotTeacher88 says

    Wendy Williams and that piece of crap she married. She could just reveal whatever he is holding so he can’t hold it over her head.

    • CaintGetEnuff says

      Always the best way to handle blackmail – tell it yourself! Of course if it’s a sex tape, isn’t it illegal for him to release it w/o her permission? Rob Kartrashian tried that with Blac China and got in all sorts of trouble. Plus, who’s to say Slimeball didn’t make multiple copies to keep her ‘in line’ later?

      Can’t imagine the effect this is having on their son.

    • amagod121 says

      Whatever it is, she could console herself with the mantra, “It can’t be any worse than what Mel B. and that phony Bellefonte revealed during their divorce battle.” And Mel B. hasn’t let it crimp her style in the least…Wendy, if Mel B. can still have a career after all of that, then you can too!

  16. Baileygirl says

    Wendy Williams taking back the ex to help with show production. She is crazy- you don’t cut out part of a cancer and leave the rest to continue to kill you.

    Wendy Williams

    I personally can’t stand her. She’s a bully and a hypocrite who loves playing the victim when the shoe is on the other foot. She made her bed with the sleazy guy.. now lay in it. She knew for years he was shady, but it takes 2 to tango and remain together for years. JMO

  24. aaaDacia says

    Wendy williams? Her ex has been known to be extremely manipulative and controlling. Heck, she knew he was cheating for years and did nothing til the mistress had his baby. I think she had major insecurity issues. Not confident in herself even though she projects the image she is. I’d call his bluff, tell him to do his worst and deal with it. People already know about her addiction issues so if it’s something to do with that we already know.

  25. Gerseychick says

    What could it be drugs a threesome, who cares…..Let your lawyers deal with this piece of garbage….Stay Strong Wendy…Go to meetings….

  28. spunkfunker says

    Wendy Williams

    What can we know that we already don’t, come on she’s an open book! Sometimes she even runs her mouth a little too much!!!!

  29. obsidianeyes says

    The star: Wendy Williams
    Optional: get out in front of it, charge his ass with blackmail attempts

  32. kurlykolly says

    Oh no Wendy Williams. Come on you don’t have any dirt on him? Don’t you have your son?

  36. spookie says

    Wendy Williams (and her awful husband)

    Optional: surround yourself with people who lift you up not bring you down

  38. ILUVCA4evr says

    Wendy Williams

    At this point, she’s the conductor of the crazy train. This won’t end good.

  42. Searlait says

    Wendy Williams
    I would completely cut him off and out of my life. I would look for another person to hire to handle any business he used to handle. There are plenty of excellent, capable people. I would come forward with any damaging info first so he has nothing to hold over me and involve the authorities. Blackmail is illegal. People like that will never stop.

  44. Spyci Paprika says

    Wendy Williams getting back with her husband.

    Get a restraining order! That man is a vile leech, but I guess Wendy has such a low self-esteem that she feels loved and attractive when he shows her he wants her back. I can see years of abuse have really warped her mind, the Stockholm Syndrome is extremely common in abusive relationships. Sad.

  45. officiallily says

    Wendy Williams and ex-husband Kevin Hunter.

    Someone needs to help this woman out. She has got to get away from him

  49. WorkHardBeNice says

    Sigh.
    Wendy, Wendy, Wendy….

    Ms. Williams needs to get the heck out of the entertainment industry for her own health’s sake. Just go do something less stressful for a minute. Anything that would make her less available to this *hole ex-husband would be good.

  50. throwaway51 says

    Jenelle Eason – ‘The Star’ living on ‘The Land’ with her controlling, psychopath husband David! If it was me I would leave immediately with the children and run as far away as I could…

  52. irishiis49 says

    Unless the video is of Wendy Williams drowning puppies, I don’t know anything the public would see that would be career-ending…she is an addict I’m sure it has caused her to do some bad things…

  58. aaajrm68 says

    Sadly this is Wendy Williams and her low down husband. She needs to run and never look back.

  61. FiyahHotFlashy says

    Wendy Williams….when she had the chance to pay him, she should have. What about that movie she’s planning. A few months ago she was willing to talk to the highest bidder, now she wants to work with Kev…SMH

  64. regossip says

    Wendy Williams
    I cannot imagine what Big Kev has on her but don’t fall for it Wendy. You are better without him. Your show will not fail

  65. nylahou says

    Wendy Williams

    I’m hoping that this is part of a longer-term plot to avoid alimony — e.g., hire Kelvin (his real name is Kelvin), then fire him down the line when the divorce is finalized. I’m hoping she’s not doing this because she misses him, because just give it a little more time and you’ll forget about him. Either way, if I worked at the Wendy show, I’d be looking for a way out right now.

  66. Musicsunlight says

    Wendy Williams has some serious issues no wonder she can be so unnecessarily nasty at times.
