AceShowbiz - Wendy Williams has offered her forgiveness to her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., for his alleged financial mismanagement. According to Ginalisa Monterroso, Williams' health care advocate, the forgiveness is deeply rooted in the unconditional love that Williams has for her son despite the controversies that have surrounded them.
The saga began in 2022 when Wells Fargo froze Williams' accounts, suspecting she was a victim of undue influence and financial exploitation. Hunter Jr., who had power of attorney at the time, was accused of taking a large sum of money from her account without proper authorization.
Wendy Williams was subsequently put under guardianship that she's now fighting hard to get out. Her mental state was questioned and dementia diagnosis was announced in 2023, leading to more recent claims that she's "mentally incapacitated," which she vehemently denied.
Hunter Jr. has denied these allegations, maintaining that his mother approved all financial transactions. In the Lifetime documentary "Where Is Wendy Williams?" he vehemently asserted that his mother's lavish spending habits were well-known and that he never took money without her consent.
Before the debacle with Hunter Jr., Williams' ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, was also accused of financial mismanagement during his marriage to the TV host.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Monterroso clarified some misconceptions by explaining that the financial difficulties occurred three years ago and that Williams has since moved past it.
"What people have to understand is that Wendy told the world now that this happened three years ago... That will always be her son, unconditional love," Monterroso stated.
Despite the family friction, Williams has maintained a relationship with her son. She recently visited him during a trip to Florida to celebrate her father's birthday. Monterroso highlighted that Williams and her son remain in communication, emphasizing their enduring bond despite past grievances.
Most recently, Williams claimed she "passed" the mental competency test "with flying colors." Monterroso shared Williams was looking forward to a jury trial to evaluate her guardianship status, underscoring Williams' desire to regain control over her affairs.
