*Wendy Williams‘ ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, has sold the million-dollar Florida mansion he bought after their divorce.
According to RadarOnline, the move came after Hunter lost a legal battle over alimony checks.
In 2020, Hunter purchased the property in Parkland, Florida, for $795,600. The pad has been home to Hunter and his girlfriend Sharina Hudson and their child, who was born in March 2019. Hunter allegedly cheated with Hudson during his marriage to Williams.
Williams was ordered to pay Hunter monthly alimony as part of their divorce settlement. According to him, the checks stopped coming in early 2022, amid Williams’ battle with Wells Fargo over her frozen accounts.
Hunter has been unsuccessful in his attempt to have the alimony issue heard in court, The Sun reported.
“I have fallen behind on most of my bills. I currently live in a community that requires payments to the homeowners association and I’m behind on that bill,” Hunter told the court during a hearing on the matter earlier this year. “If the homeowners association fees are not paid foreclosure will soon follow.”
Most recently, Hunter scored a major win in his legal battle action against Debmar-Mercury, the producers of “The Wendy Williams Show.”
We reported previously that Hunter is suing the production company’s founders Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus for wrongful termination. In 2019, he was fired as executive producer on his ex-wife’s daytime talk show amid reports that he fathered a child with his mistress (Sabrina Hudson). Williams filed for divorce and Hunter said his employment status changed days later, PEOPLE reports.
Hunter claims he was fired “on the basis of his marital status, which is barred by the New York City Human Rights Law.”
According to RadarOnline, a New York federal judge recently ruled against Debmar-Mercury’s attempt to dismiss his lawsuit.
As The Jasmine Brand reports, the suit reads, “The termination of [Kevin] was based strictly upon [Kevin’s] marital status and his impending divorce to the Show’s host, ignoring all of the contributions that [Kevin] made to make the Show a success.”
The lawsuit alleges …“[Kevin] was used to being behind the scenes of Williams’ prior ventures and used his business knowledge and street smarts to negotiate a significant financial increase from the initial contract being offered to Williams.”
In court documents obtained by People, Hunter claims he received a notice from Bernstein informing him that his firing was “effective immediately,” after Williams filed for divorce in April 2019.
“The termination of Plaintiff was based strictly upon Plaintiff’s marital status and his impending divorce to the Show’s host, ignoring all of the contributions that Plaintiff made to make the Show a success,” the filing states. “As a result of Defendants’ aforesaid actions and the breach of their agreement with Hunter, the Defendants have been unjustly enriched from Plaintiff’s Executive Producer contributions to the Show, as well as enduring Product Integrations engagements Plaintiff has brought to the Show and that the Show has retained.”
