Wendy Williams breaks down in tears over family drama: ‘I would ask you to respect our privacy, but I don’t’ – NJ.com

It looks like all of the divorce drama is taking a toll on Wendy Williams.

The famed talk show host was caught by TMZ on camera bawling her eyes out when asked by reporters about how her family is handling things. Williams, 54, filed for divorce from her husband of 21 years, Kevin Hunter Sr., in April.

“Everybody’s got to grow up,” Williams said, fighting back tears.

“I would ask you to respect our privacy, but I don’t respect people’s privacy. That’s why I do the hot topics,” Williams said.

It follows reports that there is still bad blood between the media maven’s estranged husband and their son, Kevin Jr., after they got into a fight in Essex County last month (which saw the younger Kevin get arrested).

Talk show host Wendy Williams filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Kevin Hunter Sr., last month, and things have been rocky ever since.

Monday morning, Williams posted a photo on Instagram of herself holding hands with a mystery man.

People on the Internet have been speculating about who the man could be. The only clues Williams has offered are hashtags in the post that say “old enough to be your mother” and “very sexy man.”

Williams filed for divorce after reports of Hunter Sr.’s cheating and allegations he fathered a child with a mistress.

In the weeks since, Williams has said she’s been back on the dating scene.

“I’m rediscovering my love of men,” Williams said on a previous episode of the “Wendy Williams Show.”
