Wendy Williams got caught up in a confrontation with her caretakers during a rare public outing at son Kevin Hunter Jr.’s graduation dinner.
The former talk show host, 60, was visibly upset and scolding her caretakers in footage of an argument outside a Miami restaurant shared by the “We in Miami” podcast on Wednesday, December 25.
“And then both of you walked away leaving my s–t in the street,” she could be heard saying to the group, seemingly referring to the wheelchair that she was sitting in. “Just get the car, please. Make sure it’s the right car.”
Podcast host Stunt Lifestyle, who was present at the scene, asked Wendy what happened, and she explained that her caretakers “got the wrong car” and then left her expensive scooter unattended in the street.
“This cost a f–king mint,” she said angrily. “They just left my s–t out here.”
Stunt then explained, “Apparently they wanted her to be in her wheelchair when she was leaving the restaurant and she wanted to walk because she felt like she was capable of walking. So Kevin, her son, actually picked the wheelchair up and walked it outside of the restaurant and Wendy walked.”
The podcast host continued, “And as you can see when I asked her, I’m like, ‘Wendy, what’s wrong?’ And she was like, ‘Yo, they, they left my wheelchair,’ and then she went into how, like, you know, they’re getting paid, they should be taking care of her.”
Stunt added that Wendy’s family believed she was “really upset about the disorganization and the lack of care,” noting that the ordeal was “really messy.”
“So she was really upset and her family was really upset too,” he concluded.
Wendy and her caretakers traveled from New York to Miami to see Kevin, 24, graduate from Florida International University on December 19. The former radio DJ, who was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in 2023, was photographed wearing a sparkly black and silver dress and riding her scooter around the event with armed guards at her side.
Amid his graduation excitement, Kevin shared an update on his mom’s health via a comment on a post from Charlamagne Tha God, who also attended the ceremony.
“While I’m here quick update on my mom,” the new college graduate wrote. “She’s sober and wants to come home. We’re fighting to make that happen because isolation is killing her faster than anything else.”
Wendy was also recently spotted picking up some takeout food in Florida. She appeared to be in great spirits as she sat in the back of an SUV and grabbed her to-go order from Shonuff Oysters in Fort Lauderdale, as seen in video footage shared by blogger Antoine Edwards on Instagram on December 15.
Back in November, Wendy’s legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, claimed that the Wendy Williams Show alum was “permanently incapacitated” due to her health, which was reportedly getting worse.
“[Wendy Williams Hunter], an acclaimed entertainer who, tragically, has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated,” Sabrina stated in paperwork filed in New York on November 12, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The letter was submitted as part of the guardian’s ongoing lawsuit against A+E Networks, whom Sabrina claims exploited Wendy with their Lifetime docuseries Where Is Wendy Williams?.
Wendy’s team announced her aphasia and dementia diagnosis on February 22, two days before the documentary premiered. The TV personality reportedly showed symptoms of her diseases during filming. Sabrina claimed in the lawsuit that Wendy was only paid $82,000 for the doc out of millions that the network was said to have made for the project, Page Six reported.
A&E Networks fired back at the suit, claiming that Sabrina did not “protect” Wendy and let her be on camera “without checking in on her,” according to the outlet.
Sabrina’s lawyer also claimed that the guardian was not made aware of any filming agreement until “seven months” into the production of the docuseries.
“None of the defendants ever gained the guardian’s consent for [Williams’] participation to be filmed,” a statement from the lawyer read, according to Page Six.
