Kevin Hunter Jr. found himself in the middle of controversy when the “Where is Wendy Williams?” revealed his financial reliance on his mother. This included her funding his lavish birthday celebration with a price tag of six figures, covering his Uber Eats expenses that shockingly exceeded $100,000, and paying the rent for his apartment. “To put it into perspective. Kevin’s birthday party that his mom threw was $120,000,” Wendy’s nephew explained in the doc. “Kevin’s rent was $80,000. Kevin’s Uber Eats probably exceeded $100,000 that his mom approves.”
In his defense, Kevin Jr. clarified that his expenditures were never made without his mother’s knowledge. “Not without her consent. The people involved with it know how the process was,” he said, adding that for anyone questioning him if he triggered Williams’ financial guardianship, he said that his mom is not exactly financially modest. “When my mom was living down here, as one can imagine, it’s not a cheap lifestyle,” he noted. “The courts tried to frame it as though I was making all these charges for my own happiness.”
But when Williams lost unfettered access to her money, Kevin Jr.’s finances also reportedly dwindled. He was left struggling to pay his rent, pushing him to teeter to the edge of homelessness. In February 2024, The U.S. Sun reported that he faced eviction from his Miami apartment after failing to pay dues amounting to over $4,300. It’s worth noting that the outlet claimed his rent was a mere $3,700 monthly — nowhere near the whopping $80,000 Wendy’s nephew was throwing around. Fortunately, the case was dismissed in March 2024, but it remains unclear where Kevin Jr., who works as a party promoter on the side, was able to secure the funds needed to get himself out of the pickle.
