The television host, who is the subject of the new Lifetime documentary, "Wendy Williams: What a Mess," described her ex-husband as a serial cheater, adding that he had different mistresses to meet different needs.

Williams admitted that even though she got emotional whenever she spoke about Hunter in the documentary, he is becoming a smaller part of her past.

Williams' new documentary, "Wendy Williams: What a Mess," is set to premiere on January 30 on Lifetime.

The television host now maintains a more positive stance, explaining that she has new adventures to experience. Rather than regrets, Williams is grateful.

She admitted to having no regrets about her relationship with Hunter but added that she was also grateful for having the best divorce attorney in her corner during her divorce.
