Speaker 2: So it turns out that Wendy Williams wasn't just being
dramatic when she said Diddy had been trying to take
her out for years. She meant it, and now more
details are starting to come out, and they're honestly disturbing.
Word on the streets is that not only was Diddy
allegedly trying to harm her for her ex husband, Kevin
Hunter might have played a role too. Fans are saying
that Kevin might have been helping Diddy behind the scenes
even while he and Wendy were still married. We already
know Kevin wasn't exactly husband of the Year. He cheated,
they had a whole baby with someone else, and lived
off Wendy's money for years, but this takes it to
a whole nother level. But that's not all, because fans
are also saying that Kevin may have teamed up with
people working on the Wendy Williams Show to secretly j
her and push her into a conservatorship. She says things
were happening to her physically and mentally that she couldn't
explain at the time, and now she believes it was
all part of a setup. People have suspected Kevin had
his own motives for a long time, especially when it
came to Wendy's finances, but it looks like he may
have been working against her from the inside long before
their marriage ended, and Diddy's alleged involvement just adds a
whole new layer of darkness to the story. The big
question now is why what did they gain from Wendy's
downfall and did did he really profit from Wendy's conservatorship.
Let's break this down. Everyone already knows Kevin Hunter did
Wendy Williams so dirty during their marriage that man was
out here running wild, and one woman in particular was
at the center of it all, Sharena Hudson. Their affair
lasted about a decade, and it's what eventually pushed Wendy
to file for divorce. Kevin wasn't just creeping around, though,
he was spending big on Sharena. The more he gave,
the more she expected. He was covering all her bills,
showering her with designer bags, luxury cars, and even bought
her a house. And not just any house, Sharena picked
out a place worth nearly a million dollars. The really
insulting part was when she insisted that the house be
located just minutes away from the one Kevin shared with
Wendy like it's the audacity for me. The real slap
in the face wasn't just that Kevin was cheating on Wendy.
It was that he was doing it on her dying.
He was out here winding and dine in Sharena Hudson,
all with Wendy's hard earned money. The disrespect was loud
and honestly shameless. Rumor has it Wendy first discovered the
affair after stumbling across some suspicious messages on Kevin's phone.
She already had a gut feeling that something was off,
and that just confirmed it. Even after catching him, she
didn't leave him right away. She tried to hold the
marriage together, but the emotional stress was heavy. But let's
be clear, Wendy wasn't just sitting in silence. She had
already started planning her exit years earlier, as far back
as twenty twelve. She was being smart, playing a long game.
She knew Kevin wasn't going to stop cheating, and she
was tired of watching her money fund someone else's lifestyle,
so she stayed quiet, made her moves behind the scenes,
and when the time was right, she filed divorce and
cut off the cash flow. The breaking point for Wendy
came in twenty nineteen when word got out that Kevin
had a baby with Sharena Hussin. That April, she filed
for divorce and officially ended their twenty one year relationship.
But of course, a split like that doesn't happen overnight.
It took about nine months of messy legal stuff, back
and forth negotiations, and a lot of drama before the
divorce was finalized in January of twenty twenty. But for Wendy,
it wasn't just about walking away from the relationship, because
it was also about protecting herself. She wanted to make
sure she wasn't stuck supporting Kevin and his new family
with her money. After everything she'd worked for, she wasn't
about to keep paying for his mess. But as more
started to come out, it became clear that Wendy's situation
wasn't just about Kevin cheating. The rumors got a lot darker.
People were saying Kevin had been scheming behind her back
for years, and he wasn't doing it alone. There was
taught that some of the producers on the Wendy Williams
Show might have been in on it too, And y'all
want to know who allegedly funded the whole thing, Diddy,
that's who. Allegedly they were trying to mess with her
image and make her look unstable on purpose. From the outside,
it probably just looked like Wendy was going through some
personal stuff that was affecting her work. But behind the scenes,
fans were saying that was the plan to make her
look like the problem while other people pulled the strings
and stayed in control. If you're wondering why Diddy would
do this, it's because he has beef with Wendy. And
when I say beef, I mean something serious because they
have been beefing hard since the nineties. Wendy and Diddy's
tension really escalated after Wendy hinted that he had been
mistreating Cassie for years, and she wasn't subtle about it either.
In fact, she was one of the first people to
call it out publicly, way before the story became mainstream.
That definitely didn't sit well with Diddy, and from there
things just kept getting messier between them.
Speaker 5: You know, my thing about when you date a mogul
is that it's really difficult to avoid them because if
you use your head, you never know when they're gonna
pop up on the scene, Like he's mogul, Like he
can hire a plane right now, zoom to South Africa,
land on the roof of the hotel where she's stand. Okay,
pay people off the front desk, give me the key
and let me up in her room. Like I'm already
paranoid as a person, but to know that somebody could
actually swoop down on me in the middle of nothing.
Speaker 2: Like I said. Their beef really started in the nineties
When did he found it bad Boy Records and Wendy
was working at a radio station called Hot ninety seven
in New York. Back then, bad Boy Records was on fire.
The label had some serious talent with low Kim, Biggie,
Faith Evans, Total and more. Did He was using platforms
like Hot ninety seven to push his artists and keep
their music in heavy rotation. So when Wendy started speaking
out and sharing not so flattering opinions about him, did
He didn't take it well. Even though bad Boy was
still relatively new at the time, it was already making
a huge impact. And did he He wasn't about to
let anyone, especially someone as outspoken as Wendy messed with
the momentum. Now, the logical thing to do would have
been to have a conversation, clear the air and keep
it moving. But if there's one thing we've learned about Diddy,
it's that he doesn't always take the high road when
it comes to handling conflict. Instead of talking it out
where it is, he allegedly had his girl group Total
rough Wendy up.
Speaker 6: I remember I got off the air one day and
then the Total waiting and everybody upstairs at the radio
stations looking down, egging it on, waiting for something to
go down. I wasn't yet married my night, and Shining
Armor screeched up in his car just out of nowhere.
Speaker 5: Didn't even know.
Speaker 7: I didn't even know what was about.
Speaker 6: To happen, Scale hiding like a girl.
Speaker 3: Thanks Scale.
Speaker 6: I'm standing in the door like what, and I'm literally
about to go through Now now I'm not like what,
Like what, Let's fight because I'm not one of those
type of broads.
Speaker 2: Luckily for Wendy, her then husband Kevin Hunter was there
to step in when Total allegedly showed up looking for
a fight. Say what you want about Wendy, She's got
a mouthpiece that can slice through steel, but she's not
built for throwing hands, and facing off with all three
members of Total would have been a losing battle from
the jump. But Wendy wasn't about to back down just
because things got a little heated. That's never been her style.
If did he thought sending Total to scare her would
make her stay quiet, he clearly didn't know who he
was dealing with. Wendy doubled down, turning up the heat
and airing out even more of his secrets as payback.
She's been throwing shade since day one, and Diddy got
a front row seat to just how sharp her tongue
could be. Of course, Diddy didn't just sit there and
take it. He clapped back, and he didn't play fair.
Things got real messy, real fast. Not long after that running,
Wendy got her look back in a major way. She
leaked a photo of Diddy's son Justin Comes chilling with
none other than Sug Knight, Diddy's biggest enemy at the time.
That picture was a major blow to Diddy's image, and
let's just say he did not take it well.
Speaker 6: If you think the.
Speaker 2: Drama between Diddy and Shug is wild now. It was
on a whole other level back in the day, during
the peak of the East Coast versus West Coast beef.
Their hatred for each other was intense. There was no
fake industry shade. These two really hated each other. And
while all that was going down, did he had his
own mess to deal with. He was wrapped up in
some serious paternity drama, straight up the nining that he
was Justin's dad. He even accused me Sa Hilton of
trying to pen another man's baby on him. So when
Wendy leaked that photo of Justin kicking it with Suge Knight,
Diddy's biggest rival, it was a major hit to his pride.
That wasn't just gossip, it was personal, and just when
he thought it couldn't get worse, the streets started talking
rumor had it Wendy had an even juicier photo, one
that could really shake things up for Diddy even more
and do some serious damage to his image. Back then,
even the slightest hint about a rappers could ruin their career,
and Didd he definitely wasn't about to let that kind
of scandal take him down. Things hit a boiling point
when Wendy dropped a hint on her show that she
has some seriously damaging dirt on him. Word is someone
close to Diddy tipped him off about exactly what she
was holding. Apparently did He and his crew took a
wild trip to some beach or tropical spot, partying with
a bunch of women. But there was another man in bob,
not just any guy, if you catch my meaning. The
rumor goes that someone took a photo of Diddy in
a compromising situation with this man, his shorts being pulled
down in awe and that picture was like a ticking
time bomb that could destroy everything he built. Once did
he got wind of it, he went full damage control,
working fast to shut Wendy up before she could release
that photo and ruin his reputation for good. And how'd
he do it? According to gen Deal, did he use
his cloud to get Wendy fired from her job on
Hot ninety seven? Remember how I said earlier that did
he use Hot ninety seven to push his artists in
their music? Well, Jean revealed that Diddy didn't just stop
and making threats. He actually warned that if Wendy didn't
back off, he'd pull all his artists tracks from the station.
And it wasn't just that. He made it clear that
none of his industry contacts would ever use Hot ninety
seven to promote their acts either. Back then did he
have serious clouds. So when he said it, people knew
he meant business and would actually follow through.
Speaker 7: Puff got one of the hottest DJs off of Hot
ninety seven because she wanted to put up a picture
of him getting his pants pulled down. You understand I'm saying,
for whatever reason, dude was playing with Puff, he went
behind him and grabbed his trunks and pulled them down.
When he grabbed his trunk to pull us down some
girls and was taking pictures. They took that picture and
emailed it back to Wendy with the wheels said she
had him in the oppermising position and like he was
gay pain or something like that, and she was going
to put it out, so they stopped her from putting
it out, and they got her fired from High ninety
seven because of that.
Speaker 2: Wendy has also talked about this in the past, saying
that did he tried to burn her at the state
for trying to expose him.
Speaker 5: There was a radio personality once upon a time, her
name was Wendy Williams, and she.
Speaker 6: Was practically burned at the stake for.
Speaker 3: Talking about such.
Speaker 2: Wendy's now ex husband, Kevin Hunter, also spoke about this
in an interview, revealing just how close did he came
to ruining Wendy's life and her career.
Speaker 3: Is it true that Diddy got a fire from the
radio station? Did you have anything to do with that?
Speaker 8: I think that he had, Yes, I think yes. Well,
let's be clear. Nobody got fired, Okay, he got suspended. Okay.
He used his influence and power with Steve Smith and
then at the time, and god knows whatever his relationship
was with the overall station. Because bad Boy was a powerhouse.
We all know how bad Boy dominated a large part
of the nineties and as far as New York, you know,
there was a powerhouse. So okay, was he you know,
King Joffrey Joe? Yeah? Did he going here and shake
him up and say, yo, you know I want this
chicked off?
Speaker 2: So it looks like Kevin was anti Diddy at first,
but word on the streets is that it quickly changed
when he realized that Wendy's money was not going to
be around forever. He probably figured out that she was
likely to kick him out, and that's when he allegedly
switched loyalty to Diddy. The rumors got even darker with
claims that someone was sneaking stuff into Wendy's tea without
her knowing, yeah, literally spiking her tea before every show taping.
This isn't just a figure of speech, because, according to
blogger Storm Monroe, the substances were allegedly carefully chosen to
go unnoticed once mixed in. The idea was to slowly
mess with Wendy's behavior, making her seem more often unstable
on camera. The goal was to make it look like
she was losing control both on and off the screen,
while the people behind the scenes quietly set her up
to take the fall.
Speaker 3: Anyway, five tapings a week, every single table, she always
had what her cup? What was in her cup? Her tea.
Now a lot of the audience and the public assumed
she was putting some whiskey in there. She and liquor.
Sometimes it was wine. No no, no, no, baby, it
was tea. It was tea. And even though she put
her own tea bag in there, and she would drop
her own poff, drop in there. She was not the
one heating up the water and bringing it to the
actual desks. So whoever was in charge of her hot
water to be there ready for her to dip her
tea bag in, that's probably who y'all need to look at.
I can't say no names, but that's all I can
say is that she was literally being through her tea
that she drunk every single day.
Speaker 2: People started noticing that Wendy was acting really different on
the show. She'd slur her words, stumble over what she
was saying, and sometimes completely lost her train of thought.
Some days she seemed confused or way more emotion than usual,
not the Wendy everyone knew. Of course, rumors started flying.
Folks were saying she was struggling with mental health or addiction.
The tabloids and social media around wild with speculation, painting
a picture of Wendy falling apart. But the reality was
way than anyone thought. Wendy wasn't actually struggling on her this.
Speaker 1: Right here, crazy, this right here, crazy, this little little kiky.
She didn't play no games man.
Speaker 2: She gave it up man.
Speaker 1: She gave it up man on top a.
Speaker 8: Little too the Losa world, I'm I'm I'm a subtle.
Speaker 1: Like good because when Uncle Donas goes out to Wendy
Williams and what she going through and Diddy is well
man and her ex husband is crazy. Man. Til next
time y'all heard, you know who topped in too, man,
