A FRACTURED SHOULDER PLUNGED WENDY INTO DEPRESSION

Williams, 54, revealed that she became addicted to prescription pain killers after she fractured her shoulder during a confrontation with her notorious cheating husband Kevin Hunter, 47

Hunter has an ongoing and very public affair with a much younger massage therapist, Sharina Hudson, 33.

Although Hunter had guaranteed that his affair with Hudson was over, in December 2018 Williams hired a private eye who confirmed that the relationship was ongoing.
