Wendy Williams' legal conservator has filed new court documents seeking $112,500 in back support from Kevin Hunter.
Sabrina Morrissey claims in court documents that her famous TV ex-husband was “overpaid” for three months and “unfairly benefited” from Williams' bank account.
According to Morrissey, The Wendy Williams Show stopped paying the former host in October 2021, but Hunter continued to receive payments until January 2022, a claim that Hunter himself acknowledged.
“We believe this is primarily due to the fact that the payments were set up on an 'auto-pay' feature within her account,” Morrissey said in the document.
She added that the payments were “contrary to the express terms” of the settlement agreement, which stated that payments to Hunter would stop if his ex-wife's income fell “to less than twice her then-current annual income (as of February 1, 2020).”
“By keeping the overpayment, [Williams’] “They will have ownership interest in those funds,” the document states.
Morrissey is seeking a six-figure refund plus interest from Hunter, and has asked the court to issue a gag order preventing Hunter from speaking to “the press or anybody else”.
“The potential harm is [Williams] “It's wonderful,” she said, “that Mr. Hunter and his representatives have demonstrated a willingness to speak to the press about these issues.”
News of Morrissey's lawsuit was first reported by The Sun.
Williams, 59, has been under conservatorship since early February 2022, when the bank stepped in and argued in a New York court that her behavior was “concerning.”

The “How You Doin'?” host has been outspoken in her opposition to conservatorship, detailing her lack of financial freedom in the two-part documentary “Where Is Wendy Williams?”
But the Lifetime special also delved into Williams' diagnosis of dementia and aphasia, which her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., said were the result of her longtime alcoholism.
Morrissey then accused Lifetime's parent company, A+E Networks, of “humiliating” Williams by filming her “in a state of obvious impairment.”
In response to Morrissey's allegations, a spokesperson for A+E Networks told Page Six: “We look forward to our documents being made public as well, as they tell a very different story.”
