Wendy Williams‘ guardian has filed new legal papers requesting Kevin Hunter to repay $112,500 in alimony, according to @pagesix.
Sabrina Morrissey alleges in court documents that Williams’ ex-husband was paid more than he was owed for three months and unfairly benefited from Williams’ funds. Morrissey claims that the payments from the “Wendy Williams Show” to Hunter stopped in October 2021, but he received payments until January 2022, which he acknowledges.
“I believe this was largely the result of the fact that the payments had been put on an ‘autopay’ function within her account,” Morrissey said in the documents obtained by the news publication. She stated that the payments violate their settlement agreement, which specified that Hunter’s payments would stop if Wendy’s income dropped to less than twice her yearly income as of February 1, 2020. “By holding on to the funds he was overpaid, he has interfered with [Williams’] right of possessions to those funds,” the documents read.
Morrissey is also seeking for Hunter to repay the interest on the six-figure amount and is asking the court to impose a gag order on him, preventing him from speaking to the “press or others.”
“The potential harm to [Williams] is great,” she states. “Mr. Hunter and his agents have shown their willingness to talk to the press about these issues.”
As we previously reported, Hunter was demanding two years of back divorce payments after claiming that their marital settlement agreement needs to resume after suddenly stopped right before she placed under guardianship in 2022.
Hunter reportedly told the court that he relies on Wendy’s finances for his living expenses. “I rely on the severance pay for my living expenses and having been without this income for twenty-three months has affected me greatly.” He also added that he wants the former talk show host to “immediately pay all severance payments which may be due and owing at the time of this Court’s Order.”
“I also respectfully request that the court compel the Plaintiff to sign the Qualified Domestic Relations Order for the AFTRA Retirement Plan or in the alternative appoint me an Attorney in Fact so that I can execute the document if the Plaintiff does not sign the document within seven (7) days of this Court’s Order,” he continued. “I would not have to file this motion if the plaintiff did not stop my severance payments and if the plaintiff would have signed the qualified domestic relations order for the AFTRA retirement plan.”
