The Wendy Williams Show - General Discussion

[TVbitch]

Well, you gotta hand it to her, Wendy sure knows how to play it: 

Refuses to admit relapsing and fucking up at work, then once she can no longer do that because it's out in the press, just flips it to she is taking charge and getting treatment to support her health and sobriety! Cue the applause!

Refuses to admit any trouble in her marriage, then once she can no longer do that because it's out in the press, just flips it to she is taking charge and choosing the divorce and "I am woman hear me roar!" Cue the applause! 

She will come out a hero!

Saw the news of her filing divorce papers today while at work.  Finally!

What made her finally wise up and wake up?

Not a huge fan of hers, but no one deserves the treatment she got.  I don't care even if she tried to turn a blind eye to it, she knew and it had to hurt.  Too bad he'll get some of her money, but pay it out, be rid of this asshole.

Watchers, At Primetimer, we snark people on the shows, not each other. If you feel someone's post violates site rules, report it; do not engage.  If someone's posts annoy you but do not violate site rules, either look away or use the Ignore feature.  To do so, highlight the user's name; on the pop up box you will see an option to Ignore User. Presto chango!  You won't see their posts.  

Back to your regularly scheduled snark!

Why the fuck does the Daily Mail have to point out that Sharina has a post baby tummy? Can women not get a simple little bit of respect for being slightly out of shape after giving birth? And I'm pretty sure Kelvin figured out a long time ago, how to divorce Wendy and still remain wealthy.

The next big story will be Wendy has checked out of sober living because she's been doing so well in her sobriety. I think Wendy went to sober living as part of a story she could tell until she could figure out what was going down with her prince charming. "ALL IS WELL IN HUNTERVILLE!" Lol!

In general I agree with you regarding respecting a woman who just gave birth but this hussy deserves no respect.  As much as I don't respect WW, I have no respect for a woman who is a side piece to a jerk like Kevin for a decade...no respect at all.  It's open season on this harlot.

Wendy Williams has filed for divorce from cheating husband Kevin Hunter

A lawyer for Wendy Williams, 54, who is worth an estimated $60 million, confirmed on Thursday that she is splitting from Kevin Hunter, 47, after nearly 22 years of marriage.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6912939/Wendy-Williams-filed-divorce-cheating-husband-Kevin-Hunter.html?ito=email_share_article-masthead

Wow .. I just read this news tonight.  I  haven’t watched her show since Monday.  Is it true she filed for divorce on Thursday?  Did she say anything on the show?  Finally, she got some guts.  Anyone know the scoop?  I’ll have to watch tomorrow, Friday.

Wendy Williams Tapes Second Episode of Her Show Hours After Serving Kevin Hunter With Divorce Papers

Wendy Williams Will Not Address Divorce from Husband Kevin Hunter on First Show After Split News: ‘It Was Like a Party’

[DrivingSideways]

Wendy was pre-empted for the Nipsey Hussle funeral here in LA, did she address this on the show today?

[Jeanius]

She did not say a word, but she was not wearing her wedding rings. Otherwise, you would have not known anything was different!!

[druzy]

The one day I decided to start to paint my kitchen cabinets I come back to breaking news that Wendy is finally getting a divorce. I have 25 posts in the Wendy topic to catch up on. This should be interesting!

[TVbitch]

E! News take is very comprehensive and snarky. It recounts all the times Wendy defended her marriage and lied about shit. 

https://www.eonline.com/news/1031849/how-wendy-williams-marriage-to-kevin-hunter-finally-came-unraveled

[Coffeewinewater]

From the E! article. I find this incredibly interesting.  Her big rules after his affair when Lil Kevin was born 

"Lying about anything was a no-no, she wrote, as was letting an indiscretion develop into a full-blown affair. "If he was in love, if she was just as successful at what she does as I am in my career, if she had his baby," she continued, she would leave."

What a strange no-no. The baby , in love ect I get. Wendy is bizarre.

Friday shows are usually filmed on Thursday so Wendy may not address this on Friday.  The audience would have dropped the tea if she talked about this Thursday.

According to the reports, Big Kev was asking for a divorce for a long time now. but Wendy said “no”.  Sharina probably got tired of waiting, so had the baby.  That was the clincher for Wendy.  Lil Kev is old enough to understand.  She’s not the first to get divorced, nor the last.  She should concentrate on her show and get some better guests on if she can.  She’s made lots of enemies.  She was very rude to an audience woman today during “ask Wendy”.  @Druzy,  How u doin?  With the paint job.

Exactly! Those "co hosts" in the audience asking WW for advice are either dumb ass fools or just want to see themselves on TV. 

They'd get wiser, more honest advice at a psych ward. 

[Morgalisa]

I love Ask Wendy. I view it as comedy. A skit.  The audience members don't take her advice seriously. 

Kevin has been really smart about intertwining himself in all Wendy's affairs. Sunny Hostin said she should close down the show. Open later as a new show. New name, new format.  I think he owns 50 percent of her show and everything else.

This is stupid, and I know I’ve been ragging on Wendy lately, but after my husband made me breakfast this morning and we were talking together, I had a pang of sadness that Wendy was eating alone after all those years of marriage.  Something so simple and regular is no more forever.  It’s not all about Wendy, but for all the women out there that are going thru the same thing.  It must seem so unnatural and hard to get used to, no matter how bad the marriage was,  I know she did the right thing tho.  It’s just so unfortunate.  Then she has to go on t.v. and act strong while her heart is breaking.  I know, I’m a dope.  I’ll probably be back on here again ragging on her.

After she mentioned the “situation” she referred to her swollen feet, and that it was hard to walk.  Did she mean the situation was Big Kev or her swollen feet?  Either she’s talking in riddles lately, or I’m losing my marbles.  Lol.

Maybe Wendy started to tell the truth and then changed her mind.  It seemed strange to me too.  Maybe she was just teasing us?

I'm checking out Wendy FF on the DVR.  Promoting those horrible shoes - does she need the money that bad?  Actually, with the divorce coming I can see her doing more Gold Bond promotions.  I'm laughing at the "guest handbag" and Wendy shaking with excitement.

I'll continue FFing later.  Oh, "Jessie" not "Jussie" over and over.

You're not a dope, you're just a human being with feelings.  

Sometimes I think that we, and I include myself in this, rag on people to make ourselves feel better about our life choices.  The irony is that's what Wendy Williams used to do on the radio.

I think I understand Wendy's line of thinking, even if I don't agree with it.  Given what I've seen of Wendy's opinions about gender dynamics and relationships, she seems like the sort of woman who figures that men feel inherently emasculated by wives who make more money/have bigger careers than them. So, she could rationalize Kevin's cheating if it were with some "civilian" (non-famous) woman because in her mind, he would be drawn to her out of some innate need for an ego boost that he can't get from his marriage.  However, if he cheated with some other well-known TV personality, for example, Wendy would take it more personally and find it harder to forgive. It would mean his infidelity isn't about his desire to feel "manly" and "needed" in the face of having a richer/more powerful wife, which she found excusable, but that he doesn't want her anymore, yet some other big-time morning show anchor or host of The View (for example) was fulfilling his needs just fine. It's the same line of thinking that causes some women to excuse it if their man cheats with someone much younger and not in their social circle/class, but not if it's a woman from the neighborhood, older, less attractive, etc.

The Friday show taped Thursday afternoon, maybe just as the divorce news broke? So I doubt the in-show audience knew yet since you usually don't have access to cell phones. Wendy will probably at least mention it on Monday's show, when she can walk out to a lengthy, thundering ovation first.

I understand your POV. However, unless the "in-show audience" has been living in an underground bunker with no access to technology,  they know. All of us know/knew. It's not shocking news.

This is Wendy's chance to address her situation (as much as legally allowed since she is still married) and turn it into a positive thing for her fans/audience. Show people you're a strong woman/person and that there is no shame in making bad choices in men (or wigs! 😁)or anything in life (drugs/alcohol).Learn from it and make better choices.  So far, she chooses to deny, avoid, ignore what the WW watchers have been aware of for a very long time.

It doesn't make her a bad person but she is, nevertheless, a "celebrity" and as Wendy often says "we'll be watching!"

Good Lord, could Charlemagne be any more GLEEFUL in this segment  😂? I remember him on her radio show on WBLS, he clearly witnessed some shit while working with her. And as much of an asshole he can be, he has never said a bad word about her and credits her for helping him start his career in entertainment. Even when an interviewer asked Wendy about him, she did the whole snooty “who’s that? I don’t know him” BS, he just shrugged it off. Only just recently has he been tiptoeing around what really has gone on with her behind the scenes. I agree that I hope that she follows completely through with the divorce and is able to cut him off completely, especially financially. 

[MsTree]

I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for Wendy's "situation".  He cheated on her during her pregnancy...and then cheated on her over the past year or so (or perhaps throughout the entire marriage). She believes all is well with her marriage even through rumors/whispers of a side piece. Then she puts out a statement indicating that the only thing that would break them up is if the girlfriend got pregnant. Kind of pathetic since that means she was okay with him cheating as long as it didn't result in a pregnancy. You can't have it both ways, Wendy.

I have a feeling that she's been married in name only for awhile now. I can't imagine that Kevin was home for meals very often. Probably kept appearances when Little Kev was small, but once he left the nest? I don't think so. Big Kev has been living with the side chick for a few years, I believe.

I once had a friend whose mom told her that she believed her (my friend's) husband was cheating on her.  My friend told me that even if that were true, she would not throw him out, what would make her throw him out was if the other woman got pregnant because THAT would mean her husband would have to pay child support, using THEIR money.  To her that would be the last straw, so some people feel that way.

[chenoa333]

I hope one of my fellow PT posters will correct me if I'm wrong (and I very well could be!) but I recall someone posting a video on this thread within the last couple weeks. It's a video of Wendy (from before this current debacle) saying that she believes if a husband or wife is cheating they should keep it to themselves. Don't tell your spouse. 

As I've said, I could be remembering her words incorrectly or possibly misunderstood. But I don't think so. Anyone else recall the video I'm referring to?

I think so too. But it was kept out of the press until Daily Mail published the article in 2017 that he had the second house with Sharina with both their names on the mailbox. Wendy's response was to ignore it publicly and make Kevin take her on vacation complete with pap pics on the beach.

I think she would have kept up the pretense if it weren't for the continuing DM stories, and of course, the baby. At that point it had to be clear that Kev wanted out and wasn't going to give in to any ultimatums.

This. 

If you watched Thursday's show she said "doing better" after her co hosts said "how you doin'"  Friday's show she said something like "even better today" we know Thursday and Friday are taped on Thursday the day Kevin was served.  Even if the in house audience didnt know about that, Wendy knew the at home audience would know by Friday. Then the whole  I have a situation, was about her swollen feet but she paused to make people think she was going to say something.  She's doing her little shtick. Winking at us to make us think she's in control of it. She's not weak or frail or getting taking advantage of. Remember she had to tell us in the middle of her alchohol/drug confession,  non confession she does pilates for 2 hours , because she like to work on her body lol.  Wtf did that have to do with anything? It's like she was having a different  secret conversation in front of us. Maybe this was  when she still thought she and  Kevin would work out and was trying to tell sharina,   I'm still working on my body , bitch, idk. Her riddles crack me up. To bad sharina could not hear her over her own screams from the labor pains.

As much as I snark on WW, I am glad she finally womaned up and filef for divorce from her scuz of a husband.  Kudos for finally having enough!

However, I saw the article Chenoa referenced above and I am hoping she sticks with it. He's broken all the rules she set down for Kev's cheating.  I hope she kicks him to the curb.  It's going to cost her, but really?  How much does your dignity and self respect cost?

Wendy said Now my business is your business.  She's moving out of the sober house in a few days. She said she has a whole new life planned for her and her son. She said that addressing her addiction has helped her in every area in her life ... yada yada yada.

Hahahaha .. Wendy is back with a vengeance, attitude and confidence.   Guess the baby did the trick.  She bounced in, hopped on that chair like she was gonna break it.  Her sister came up from Florida, about time, and talked some sense to her and gave her support.  That’s what sisters are for Wendy.  It’s her and her Son now, and that’s o.k.  She’s got money and a job, still.

She has NO business talking about Tiger Woods and what he should do with his life.  Don’t over step your bounds Wendy.  You do not play golf, so shut up.  You don’t know what he is able to do.  He doesn’t need your advice on what to do with his life.

Too bad she wasted years of her life being a doormat.  At least she came out of it, finally.  It seems as if she was hypnotized and came out of her trance. I wish her luck.

[patty1h]

Nope, Wendy didn't spill the tea like we wanted; she started off Hot Topics talking about Tiger Woods instead of her own dirt. Halfway through HT, she said we all have our issues - that she was dealing with her addiction and getting clarity from that made her see some other issues in her life that she had to take care of. She also said she will be moving out of the sober house shortly and focusing on taking care of her son. The audience cheered that, then she just went onto more gossip.

She DID drop a few pointed bombs during other stories - she pointed to her stomach and said "my diaper changing days are OVER!" after doing a story about someone (I forget) and the audience cheered again. BURN. She never said the word 'divorce'.
