Wendy Williams is a proud mom at son Kevin’s college graduation amid her dementia battle
As a cinephile who has seen my fair share of Hollywood dramas and scandals, I find myself deeply moved by the story of Wendy Williams. Having lived through several health crises myself, albeit not as public or dramatic, I can only imagine the strength it takes to face one’s personal struggles in the spotlight.
In recent times, Wendy Williams has made relatively fewer appearances in public, but her most recent one this week held significant importance as it marked a notable achievement.
As a passionate movie goer, I was beaming with motherly pride when I attended my son Kevin Hunter Jr.’s college graduation ceremony last Thursday. My son, who shares the same father as me (ex-husband Kevin Hunter), reportedly earned his bachelor’s degree in economics from Florida International University.
According to People and The New York Post, I was the one who was captured in photos sporting a glamorous ensemble and a customized motorized scooter adorned with high-end fashion accessories such as a Louis Vuitton-wrapped cup-holder. The New York Post even published pictures of me, at 60 years old, sitting with my family, visibly emotional as my son received his diploma on stage. My father, Thomas Williams, and my sister, Wanda Finnie, were also reportedly present for this special occasion in my life.

According to Wendy Williams’ guardian, Wendy was unable to give consent for the filming of the Lifetime series ‘Where Is Wendy Williams’ due to her permanent condition of dementia.
Since parting ways with her daytime talk show in 2022, Williams has generally stayed out of the public eye due to health issues and personal challenges. This year, it was announced that she had been diagnosed with aphasia and simultaneous dementia. Additionally, she manages another health condition called Graves’ disease, which affects the thyroid gland.
In a statement released in February, spokespeople expressed worries about Wendy Williams’ difficulties in handling information, her unpredictable actions, and her complications in grasping financial dealings. It was announced earlier that Wendy Williams has been diagnosed with dementia before the airing of Lifetime’s four-part documentary titled “Where Is Wendy Williams?
The parent company of Lifetime, A+E Networks, and production company Entertainment One (often called eOne) have encountered issues with the law due to their documentary project. In February, the legal guardian of Williams, Sabrina Morrissey, sought a temporary injunction to prevent the documentary from being aired, but a judge in New York allowed Lifetime to proceed with it.

On a Friday, the TV chat show host, Wendy Williams, expressed gratitude to her supporters following the disclosure that she has been diagnosed with dementia.
In September, Morrissey amended his lawsuit, asserting that Williams was in a state of extreme vulnerability and lacked the capacity to consent or be filmed, let alone humiliated and exploited. Additionally, he stated in recently submitted legal documents that the TV personality is cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally unable to make decisions independently.
In November, the creators of “Where Is Wendy Williams?” responded with a counter-suit, refuting Morrissey’s unsubstantiated claims about the Lifetime documentary.
Months before the legal issues arose, documentary makers Mark Ford and Erica Hanson discussed the ethical aspects of their Lifetime project with The Times. Ford stated in February that they wouldn’t have agreed to the project if they had known Wendy was suffering from dementia. He also mentioned that Williams’ guardian, team, and family approved the documentary.
Additionally, Ford mentioned that we possessed the ability to prevent its broadcast. If the movie didn’t take a turn for the better or become more uplifting, he assured us that Lifetime would not have shown it, and neither would we have been inclined to air it.
