On Thursday, Hunter — who manages the daytime host’s career and runs a production company they jointly own — spoke to ET‘s Kevin Frazier regarding Wendy’s treatment.
He revealed:
“Wendy is doing well. We’re doing well as a family. We are moving forward with working on her sobriety and doing the work to help others, not just ourselves… It is a family process. Anybody that has to deal with this knows this a family process… and we are dealing with it and moving forward.”
Earlier this month, the couple — who have been married since 1997 — started the 888-5HUNTER hotline to help those affected by drug addiction and substance abuse.
Though she personally did NOT reveal what type of addiction she was struggling with, DailyMailTV previously reported that Williams is fighting both an alcohol and pill-fueled battle that allegedly “began when she fractured her shoulder during a confrontation with [her] cheating husband.”
Allegedly, in December of last year, Williams hired a private investigator to spy on Hunter and his alleged mistress, 33-year-old massage therapist Sharina Hudson. When she allegedly confronted him, she reportedly told him:
“Don’t you dare humiliate me.”
During the alleged heated clash, Williams fell and hit her shoulder on the ground, suffering a hairline fracture.
The incident allegedly caused her to spiral out of control, and to turn to substances.
As we reported on Wednesday, a source told DailyMailTV that Hunter “is in love with” Hudson, who has allegedly insisted that he leave Williams so the two can settle down and start a family together.
However, they allegedly “need her money” as “[Kevin] and Sharina can’t take care of themselves.”
Reports claim Hudson is “living in a very nice apartment in Manhattan [Hunter] pays for and he got her a studio in midtown for one of her many businesses that he supports.” Additionally:
“[Kevin put Sharina] through school to be a massage therapist, he opened a kiosk for her at a mall in North Carolina where she’s from… He helped her set up a jewelry and clothing line online called VISH. But none of her businesses have been a success.”
After her alleged December 2018 altercation with her husband, Williams reportedly flew to Delray Beach, Florida, and checked herself into a luxury detox and rehab facility.
A DailyMailTV insider said when Hunter visited his wife at the facility, he also allegedly took Hudson. The source claimed:
“Kevin flew to Florida to visit his wife and took Sharina with him… She stayed at the hotel while he went to see Wendy during the day.”
The source also noted that whenever Hunter takes his wife on vacation, his alleged mistress is usually there too.
“Every time he takes Wendy to Miami for the weekend, Sharina travels separately and stays at another hotel down the street… Wendy knows about Sharina but is willing to put up with it as long as there’s an understanding that there will be no baby and she doesn’t get humiliated.”
The source also said Williams has been “brainwashed” by her husband, explaining:
“He controls everything, he takes her phone, she has zero friends, she’s not in regular contact with her family. He controls every aspect of her life because he’s insecure… His only skill is spending her money and the money trickles down to Sharina… Wendy’s attitude is disgusting so no one has sympathy for her… She started deteriorating on the show in plain view, but she fed her fans this story about Graves’ disease, and now it comes out that it was alcohol and drugs all along.”
Oof! A lot to take in. What do U make of it??
