Wendy Williams' ex-husband and former manager Kevin Hunter

Wendy Williams' ex-husband seeks credit for talk show success: 'Money owed'

Wendy Williams' ex-husband and former manager, Kevin Hunter, is reportedly seeking a financial stake in the talks he helped land their former.

The alleged claim has been brought to light by a source close to Radar.

In line with his findings, Hunter has released evidence of written email correspondence between him and Debmar-Mercury's Ira Bernstein, detailing the extent of his involvement in launching Wendy Williams' career with the production house.

The email read "Dear Kevin, in honor of our 10 year working relationship, we expected to meet you in person and traveled to New York to do so, but unfortunately, you have canceled today's meeting And we are left with no choice but to communicate with you in writing, effective immediately, your role as Executive Producer of The Wendy Williams Show is terminated, and your professional relationship with Debmar- Mercury is terminated. Is."

Hunter's claim further alleges that Hunter is the mastermind of the 'Hot Topics Segment on Williams' show as well as the shoe cam.

The entire lawsuit for wrongful termination is up to about $7 million dollars and the move comes as Wendy herself is 'blinded' by her replacement on the show.
