Where Is Wendy Williams? features her son Kevin Hunter Jr. Accused of using her money inappropriately, he denied it. Instead, he claimed he focused on his mom’s health. Unfortunately, he didn’t talk with People for the cover story. Instead, Wendy’s poor health and other problems received comments from her niece, Alex Finnie, and her mom, Wanda. Wanda said:

There is not a person in this family who doesn’t want the same thing for Wendy, and that is her health.

Alex agreed, saying, “She can’t wait to start the next chapter of her life.” Well, as Wendy Williams is currently under guardianship, presumably, the guardian also wants that.

Wanda said, “All I know is that Wendy and her team walked into the courtroom one way, and they walked out, and the family is completely excluded.”
