Wendy Williams made a rare public appearance on Thursday to celebrate her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., as he graduated from Florida International University. This occasion marks one of the few times she has been seen in public throughout the year, following her significant absence due to health issues.
Since February, Wendy has been dealing with a diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. These health struggles have sparked a legal contention involving her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, and A&E Networks, particularly surrounding a documentary released in February that Morrissey alleges exploited Williams’s condition. In a recent court document, Morrissey stated that Williams is “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.”
Kevin Hunter Jr. had been caring for his mother until the appointment of a guardian in May 2022. He, along with their family, has expressed concerns about the guardianship, claiming it fails to adequately protect Wendy. In the trailer for the controversial Lifetime documentary, he voiced his frustrations with the management of his mother’s wellbeing, stating that he felt the guardian had not fulfilled her duty properly.
During the graduation ceremony, Wendy attended in a motorized scooter embellished with personal touches, showcasing her unique style with a “HIGH MAINTENANCE” pouch and a sparkly Chanel keychain.
While Wendy’s health situation remains a concern, her presence at her son’s significant milestone reflects her enduring spirit and connection to her family. This moment serves as a reminder of the importance of family support in challenging times, and many hope for continued improvement in her health and circumstances.
It’s heartening to see Wendy celebrating a proud moment in her son’s life, underscoring the love and resilience that families can rely on during difficult times.
