“The elephant in the room knows that I’ve had a tough year. Slowly but surely I’m climbing out of the pit and this is one of those monumental days. If you don’t believe in yourself who is going to believe in you?"

CHARGES AGAINST WENDY WILLIAMS' SON WERE DROPPED

Wendy Williams’ son Kevin Hunter Jr. was arrested in June 2019 for physically assaulting his father, Kevin Hunter Sr.

The attack happened in the aftermath of Wendy filing for divorce from Hunter after the talk show host discovered her husband's mistress of 10 years had given birth to his child.

To add insult to injury, Hunter had set the woman up in a house near his family home and was supporting her lavishly, showering her with luxurious gifts at his wife's expense.

Kevin apparently got into a physical altercation with his father over his behavior, and over the fact that he was insisting on suing Wendy for spousal support.

Kevin pleaded not guilty to the assault, and the charges were dropped.
