Kevin Hunter Jr. is not letting folks play with his name. Kevin, who is the son of Wendy Williams, is speaking out to deny claims that he made a big charge on his mother’s account before Wells Fargo froze it!
Sources close to the former daytime talk show host exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Kevin ran up $100K on her card just months before Wendy’s brokerage accounts with supposed millions of dollars were frozen in January. “Kevin Jr. spent around $100,000 on Wendy’s personal America Express card. This was her own AmEx specifically,” the insider shared. “Kevin was demanding that Wendy’s advisor pay the bill- instead of Wendy,” the source claimed. It was said that Kevin was using a different card than the one her manager had access to.
Now, despite these claims, Kevin Jr. is making it clear that these reports are false while also defending his mother: “I vehemently deny any allegations of unauthorized use of my mother’s American Express Card. This is a false narrative perpetuated to justify freezing her accounts.”
What Happened To Wendy Williams’ Accounts
Earlier this year, Wells Fargo froze her account with her $20 million in it because the bank was reportedly worried that Williams had been the subject to “financial exploitation, dementia or undue influence,” despite her denying it. Wendy Williams had taken some time off of her show to focus on her health as she’s battling Graves’ disease.
Back in March, Wendy posted a video to her new Instagram account where she said it’s “not fair” that she’s been frozen out of her accounts and even called out her financial advisor, Lori Schiller. “My thing is that I’ve been asking questions about my money and when I began asking questions about my money, suddenly Lori Schiller has got no response regarding my money. I want my money. This is not fair,” Williams said. “Wells Fargo has no questions and answers regarding my money. This is not fair. And Lori Schiller and Wells Fargo has this guardianship petition about keeping me away from my money,” she added.
In a recent phone conversation with Jason Lee, she stated again that still does not have access to her accounts.
What Is Wendy Williams Doing Now?
After more than 13 years of syndication, her iconic talk show “The Wendy Williams Show” came to an end in June. She stepped back from her usual hosting duties in October 2021, citing “serious complications” from Graves Disease and an aggravated thyroid condition. Wendy is still recovering and trying her best to remain positive. She is also gearing up to launch her very own podcast.
