Wendy Williams’ Ex Kevin Hunter Slams Production Company For ‘Unceremonious’ Final Episode
etcanada.comKevin Hunter is slamming the production company behind ex Wendy Williams‘ daytime talk show for their handling of the series final episode.
Hunter exclusively tells ET, “I feel like it is a travesty on the part of Debmar-Mercury to have such an unceremonious departure without Wendy being involved.” “It is the first time in the history of talk shows for this to be done, especially for a show that has been on for more than 10 years,” he adds. “There is absolutely no reason why a bigger celebration that involved Wendy couldn’t happen.” Hunter continues, saying that, as a co-creator of the show, “I know the blood, sweat and tears that went into making the show such a success, [and] I am not happy with the way the show is going out on a personal level and I am truly sorry that the show’s fans have to see it go down the way that it is.” In March, Hunter filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against Debmar-Mercury — the producer-distributor of “The Wendy Williams Show” — for unlawful termination.
According to court docs obtained by ET at the time, Hunter claimed that Debmar-Mercury’s decision to terminate him was on the basis of his marital status.
In his remarks to ET on Thursday, Hunter states that the production company has shown “a lack of professionalism throughout the process and in the way they are letting Wendy go out.” Hunter claims that the production company has also “shown a lack of support both health-wise and in keeping the integrity of something so precious that me and my ex-wife created and worked tirelessly and relentlessly on.” ET has reached out to Debmar-Mercury for comment.
