Kevin Hunter just took a major legal L. A judge has officially shut down his attempt to insert himself into Wendy Williams’ guardianship, calling out his lack of authority to act on her behalf.
According to TMZ and People, Hunter filed a $250 million lawsuit earlier this year claiming Wendy’s court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, was exploiting her. He said he wanted to step in as her “next friend”, a legal role that would let him act on her behalf in court.
But the judge wasn’t buying it. The court dismissed Hunter’s case and made it clear he cannot legally file lawsuits or act in Wendy’s name. The ruling did give him the option to refile, but only in his own name, meaning he’d be speaking for himself; not Wendy.
Wendy wasted no time responding. She told People she had “no idea” about the lawsuit and called Hunter a “money-grubber.” Her legal team backed her up, saying she never gave him permission or authority to act on her behalf.
This isn’t just courtroom drama, it’s part of a larger battle over Wendy’s guardianship. The TV icon has been fighting to end the court control over her finances and medical decisions. She’s been outspoken about wanting her freedom back, even calling the arrangement “a prison.”
Meanwhile, her guardian claims Wendy has refused medical testing that could impact her case. That tension has only fueled public debate about whether the guardianship is protecting or restricting her.
