Yesterday talk show host Wendy Williams opened up to her audience about her teenage son and his addiction to synthetic marijuana. During her ‘Hot Topics’ segment she spoke candidly about how her 14 year old son, Kevin Jr., became addicted, despite the fact that she considers herself a pretty hands on parent.
“So the most important thing that happened this summer, which was a life-changing thing for the Hunter family, is our son was made exposed to synthetic marijuana and he was exposed by a loved one who he looked up to. It’s one of those pens where you don’t see the smoke and you don’t smell anything,” Wendy admitted to her audience. She says that the ‘loved one’ who exposed her son to the drug has since gone to rehab and gotten clean.
Wendy said her son’s drug use came as a huge surprise. “I was duped. Our kid had been smoking this mess. He got turned out…to the point where he went off the rails for a moment. The reason that we, me and my husband and my son, we are choosing to share this with you, this is not a surprise to any of us. We’ve had several family meetings over the summer and it was so hard for me to be on the road because Kevin and Kevin Jr. were not there with me and I’m trying to make funny on the tour, but in actuality my heart is breaking and my son could’ve been dead.”
Wendy went on to urge parents to talk to their children and get familiar with how harmful synthetic marijuana is. “To the parents and guardians watching right now, just talk to your kids. This synthetic marijuana, there was only like 2 percent THC in it. The rest was of it was factory manufactured mess. Fortunately, Kevin has two parents who took harness of the thing. We took him out of the country for holistic treatment. We didn’t want to pump him up with psychiatric drugs and all that other kind of mess. I’m glad to say our boy is on the good side of good now.”
Wendy has admitted to her own drug use in the past. Synthetic marijuana is highly dangerous and it’s side effects can include anything from hallucination to death by overdose. Good thing Wendy became hip to what her son was doing. It’s amazing what kids could be doing right under our noses.
