After failing to pay $70K in rent, Wendy William’s son Kevin Hunter Jr. was evicted from his $2M apartment in Miami.
Kevin was served eviction papers in August after failing to pay monthly rent since February.
The lawsuit includes a copy of Hunter’s lease, which shows his mom paid $100K upfront for the first year of the apartment.
Hunter’s response, which was filed about two weeks later, owns up to the failed rent and explains that he was unable to pay it because his famed mother went through “some health issues” that resulted in her finances being placed under the court’s control.
“All of this happened suddenly and all of the financial support that she always gave me stopped, including my housing,” Hunter, 22, wrote. “Even though my name is on the lease, my mom was paying, and for medical and legal reasons, she has not been able to pay the rent for the past months since the 1 year lease ended and the court has controlled her finances.”
Hunter also claimed, “My mom’s health issues came so suddenly and I had to take a year off from school during the Covid-19 pandemic to care for her. I have found temporary housing and have already made arrangements to move my stuff out of the apartment.”
On Sept. 14, the court ruled in the apartment building’s favor and had Hunter evicted.
Hunter was also hit with a separate eviction lawsuit in Miami on Aug. 31, 2021. A different apartment complex in Miami sued to remove the college student from its premises after he failed to move out by Aug. 10, when his lease had ended.
The case was ultimately dismissed because Hunter moved out on his own accord and into the new apartment that sued him.
A judge ruled that Williams, 58, should be placed under a guardian in February 2022 after Wells Fargo expressed concern about Williams’ behavior.
“My thing is that I’ve been asking questions about my money and when I begin asking questions about my money, suddenly Lori Schiller has got no response regarding my money. I want my money. This is not fair,” Williams said in a video posted to Instagram in response.
Schiller is Williams’ former financial adviser who allegedly led Wells Fargo to freeze the talk show host’s account after claiming she was of “unsound mind” to handle her affairs.
