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.

Despite their failed marriage, Hunter and Williams still keep in touch. The television personality explained that her ex-husband continually reaches out to their son, Kevin Hunter Jr.

The television host filed for divorce in 2019 after over twenty years of marriage, and by January 2020, their divorce was finalized. The couple's separation was triggered by rumors that Hunter had welcomed a child with his mistress.
