Wendy Williams is a proud mom at son Kevin’s college graduation amid her dementia battle

Wendy Williams’ recent public outings have been far and few, but her latest appearance this week was for a major milestone. The former talk show host, whose health issues came to light in recent years, served proud mom energy as she attended son Kevin Hunter Jr.’s college graduation ceremony on Thursday. News of Williams’ dementia diagnosis broke ahead of Lifetime’s four-part documentary “Where Is Wendy Williams?” Lifetime’s parent company A+E Networks and production company Entertainment One faced legal backlash for the documentary project. Williams’ legal guardian Sabrina Morrissey in February requested a temporary restraining order to keep the documentary from airing, though a New York judge gave Lifetime the green light to move ahead. Morrissey filed an amended lawsuit in September, alleging that Williams “was highly vulnerable and clearly incapable of consenting to being filmed, much less humiliated and exploited.” Morrissey also claimed in legal documents filed last month the TV star is “cognitively impaired, permanently disabled and legally incapacitated.” In November, the producers behind “Where Is Wendy Williams?” filed a counterclaim, hitting back at Morrissey and her “meritless” allegations related to the Lifetime documentary.
