Wendy Williams' Ex-Husband Sues Her Guardian, the Judge Presiding Over Her Case and Others for $250 Million on Her Behalf

Williams' ex-husband Kevin Hunter has filed a lawsuit for $250 million against 48 defendants who he claims participated in the implementation of her guardianship. Hunter claims she was "abused, neglected, and defrauded under the care of court-appointed guardians" in the June 17 filing.

In the complaint, Hunter claims that Williams “has been the victim of unrestrained abuse, maltreatment, and fiscal malfeasance” in the three years since her guardianship was first imposed, in what he alleges was “a secret proceeding” where she was not provided the opportunity to obtain "adequate legal representation.” At the time, it was attributed to her dementia diagnosis, although she has since denied being cognitively impaired. “[Williams] remains a captive of a corrupt, criminal enterprise, and Plaintiffs submit this action to the Court in hopes of freeing her from this fraudulent bondage,” according to the complaint, which slams the guardianship as “a weapon, not a shield.” Hunter, who estimates that Williams' has lost $20 million per year in earnings from not being able to work, also alleges that her son was not given access to his college fund and accuses the defendants of using her money to pay for the case against her.
