AceShowbiz - Wendy Williams' ex-husband Kevin Hunter has demanded that their divorce be "set aside" as he claims the she "fraudulently concealed $48 million" in their settlement. The TV personality, 60, who recently broke her silence on the Sean "P. Diddy" Combs sex trafficking investigation, tied the knot with Hunter in 1999 until their divorce was finalized in January 2020.
Kevin's request to the court comes after Wendy's guardian Sabrina Morrissey asked that Hunter pay back $112K in overpaid alimony earlier this year in April.
In court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun on Wednesday, October 2, the producer asked the court to "vacate and set aside" their divorce "based on fraud, misrepresentation, and misconduct."
Williams filed for divorce from Hunter in 2019 while citing "irreconcilable differences" and at the time, her guardian submitted a Wells Fargo portfolio that alleged her "total holdings" was around $7.3 million.
However, the star's close friend Regina Schell turned in an affidavit that alleged as of 2022, Williams had $55 million in her accounts. Due to the affidavit, Kevin now claims that Wendy "fraudulently concealed" the additional $48 million in their divorce.
However, in response to Hunter's demand that the divorce be overturned, Wendy's guardian Sabrina Morrissey claimed that Kevin had been aware of all of the star's accounts. Morrissey then added Wendy's ex-husband has absolutely no case to reopen the divorce proceeding.
Kevin has also questioned whether Morrissey, a New York-based attorney, is allowed to represent Williams in New Jersey. The judge gave Sabrina 21 days to prove she has authority to represent Wendy in the state of New Jersey.
In addition to the financial dispute, Morrissey is also seeking to impose a gag order on Hunter that would prevent him from speaking about the Williams case.
A judge appointed Morrissey financial guardian in March after her bank Wells Fargo requested a New York Supreme Court hearing to determine whether it was necessary due to her health conditions. She disputed the allegations and accused her former manager and a Wells Fargo financial advisor of impropriety.
Eventually, after undergoing a battery of medical tests, Wendy went public and revealed she was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia in February 2024, as reported by Page Six.
