Sources said that Wendy Williams had allowed ex-husband Kevin Hunter back into her life after family and friends had reportedly distanced themselves from the daytime television host.
“Wendy has no one in her life but Kevin. She never had close friends and hasn’t spoken with her staff in months. After her mom died, Wendy didn’t even have a family. All she has in Kevin and the son they share together,” insiders told Radar.
“Kevin is back in her life again out of necessity. He might not have treated her right in the past, but when he was in her life, none of this crazy stuff happened. He would never have allowed her bank to freeze her assets and would have made sure Wendy went to work each day.”
Hunter, who has taken on the role as Williams’ manager, has hired attorney LaShawn Thomas to serve as the 57-year-old’s legal counsel. Hunter also retained Thomas to maintain several of his businesses, Radar reported.
“Of course, Kevin had a hand in Wendy hiring LaShawn Thomas. Kevin is back, and he and Wendy are getting close again,” the source added.
However, Thomas disagreed with rumors claiming that Hunter hired the attorney to assist Williams with her legal issues.
“Kevin did not request that I represent Wendy,” the lawyer exclaimed. “Whatever is going on with Wendy, I don’t disclose to him. I believe in protecting the attorney-client privilege.”
While the former couple share 21-year-old son Kevin Hunter Jr., sources say he has been trying to get his mom and dad back together.
“Love her hate Kevin, this sh** never went down on his watch,” said a close friend. “Watch, Wells Fargo, isn’t going to mess with Kevin. He is going to unlock her bank accounts.”
Earlier this month, the media mogul asked a New York judge to unfreeze a Wells Fargo account containing several million dollars following her ongoing health issues, Sis2Sis reported.
The bank recently issued a statement, “Wells Fargo’s priority is the financial well-being of Ms. Williams and the preservation of her privacy. As we have expressed to the Court, Wells Fargo is open to working with Ms. Williams’ counsel to release funds directly to her creditors for bills historically and regularly paid from her accounts.”
Williams’ lawsuit stated that she has been unable to access funds in her accounts for several weeks. As a result, she fears she will be unable to pay future bills after she reportedly cannot access funds to pay her mortgage and employee payroll.
The New Jersey native believes her former financial advisor informed the bank that she was of “unsound mind,” she denied the claim.
