Wendy Williams’ son Kevin Hunter Jr. might become her legal guardian soon. Her ex-husband, Kevin’s dad, had requested that her guardian be removed from her legal cases. Kevin Jr. may be the one to step in her place. Here is what has been revealed so far.

Kevin Hunter Is Pushing For Wendy’s Guardian To Be Tossed From Court

The famed daytime talk show host was first placed under financial guardianship in May of 2022. Now, Sabrina Morrissey, Wendy’s guardian, has 21 days to prove that she can legally represent her in New Jersey.

Kevin Hunter, Wendy Williams’ ex, has petitioned a New Jersey divorce court, stating that Sabrina is only licensed in New York. He wants her to be removed from the ongoing hearings about Wendy’s finances and the conditions of the divorce.

Sabrina submitted proof to the court late this week that she overnighted paperwork “to register the guardianship in New Jersey.” Kevin does not want her involved though. Pushing the matter, he claims that Sabrina “committed fraud upon the court by falsely representing she is permitted to appear on [Wendy’s] behalf.”

He went on to argue that Sabrina “intentionally and willfully misled this court by asserting on multiple occasions that she is permitted to represent Ms. Wendy Williams Hunter as her legal guardian.”

Wendy Williams’ Family Has A Chance To Step In As Guardian

Now, sources that are close to the court case have revealed to The U.S. Sun that this is a chance for Wendy’s son or another family member to step in and take over.

“There is now a huge opportunity for Kevin Jr. and the family to make a step forward in Wendy’s guardianship,” the source said.

As Kevin Sr. continues to push for Sabrina Morrissey to be put out of the courtroom after she misled the court, it could be the perfect time for someone from Wendy Williams’ family to take action.

As mentioned above, Wendy was placed under guardianship in 2022. The former talk show host’s finances were placed on hold by her bank, Wells Fargo. In the petition for guardianship, the bank said that it had concerns about Wendy. Specifically, the bank believed she was “the victim of undue influence, dementia, and financial exploitation.”

Sabrina Morrissey was then appointed her temporary guardian. At the same time all of this was going on, Wendy Williams was missing from her daytime talk show. In fact, she didn’t appear for a single episode during the beloved show’s final season.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Wendy was diagnosed with progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. She has disappeared from the public eye, but interest sparked about what she’s been up to following the release of Lifetime’s docuseries Where Is Wendy Williams?

In the docuseries, fans learned about Wendy’s guardianship and how her family has not been granted contact with her for an extended period of time. Now, it seems like the ball might finally be in their court to regain access to their beloved family member.
