Wendy Williams' Son Kevin The Reason Why Her Bank Accounts Are Frozen?
Is Wendy Williams' son Kevin Hunter Jr. to blame for the freezing of her Wells Fargo accounts?
The son of the popular presenter of "The Wendy Williams Show" is accused of running up a six-figure debt on her credit card right before the freeze occurred.
According to sources close to the former daytime diva, Kevin Jr. spent $100,000 on her mother's American Express credit card, which was deactivated before Wendy's access to her accounts was terminated earlier this year.
Per The Sun's sources, Kevin Jr. insisted Wendy's adviser pay the amount instead of his mother.
Wendy's son, however, refuted the charges, telling the magazine, "I firmly deny any allegations of unlawful use of my mother's American Express Card. This is a fabricated story used to justify freezing her accounts."
What Happened During Wendy Williams' Bank Meeting With Lawyer and Kevin Hunter Jr.?
There were already a few red flags before her accounts were stopped, thanks to the credit card usage and the contentious visit to a Wells Fargo bank location in Florida with the 56-year-old host, her son, and her former lawyer LaShawn Thomas.
LaShawn told the newspaper earlier this year that they visited a Florida location only days before the bank's catastrophe.
When questioned if anything occurred with Wendy Williams' accounts before they were stopped, the lawyer stated that they walked into the bank branch and spoke with the bank branch manager, informing them of the situation.
They said that they had yet to view the former DJ's bank statements, which were being delivered directly to her new address.
While his mother was in Florida, Kevin Jr. sought to set up internet banking for her.
Wendy Williams Filed Lawsuit Against Wells Fargo
Wendy Williams filed a lawsuit against Wells Fargo earlier this year, requesting access to her accounts. She claimed to have visited several locations, but her bank officials refused to allow her withdraw any funds.
The media personality also claimed that she believes Wendy's previous financial advisor, Lori Schiller, advised the bank to take action because she suspected Wendy would be a victim of financial abuse.
However, the bank did not back down from the fight and refused to cooperate with Wendy's demands in court, informing the judge that they want a guardian appointed to take charge.
They are also concerned that Wendy will be cheated out of her inheritance if she does not have a guardian.
As of writing, Wendy Williams still have no access to her bank accounts.
