Wendy Williams’ Son Kevin Hunter Jr. Denies Charging $100K To His Mother’s Amex Card Before Wells Fargo Froze Her Accounts

Wendy Williams’ son denies taking thousands from his mother’s banking account! 

According to reports, sources close to media mogul Wendy Williams shared in an interview that Kevin Hunter Jr. ran up a huge tab on her bank account prior to Williams’ accounts being frozen by Wells Fargo back in January. A source exclaimed:

“Kevin Jr. spent around $100,000 on Wendy’s personal America Express card. This was her own AmEx specifically.”

The source explained:

“Kevin was demanding that Wendy’s advisor pay the bill- instead of Wendy.”  

Following the alleged American Express card usage and the uptight visit to Wells Fargo, Kevin Jr. and Williams’ former attorney, LaShawn Thomas, said there were multiple red flags before the former talk show host’s account was frozen. However, Kevin Jr. has denied the claims against him. In a statement, Kevin Jr. said:

“I vehemently deny any allegations of unauthorized use of my mother’s American Express Card.”

Kevin Jr. added:

“This is a false narrative perpetuated to justify freezing her accounts.”

LaShawn Thomas was questioned about what happened with Williams‘ accounts. The attorney laid out an interaction between her and her client before Williams’ accounts were frozen. LaShawn Thomas claimed: 

“I met Wendy at the Wells Fargo branch. We went into the Wells Fargo branch and we spoke to the branch manager. We told him what was going on.” 

The attorney alleged that Kevin Jr. was present during the bank visit. LaShawn explained:

“Wendy said she wanted to get access to the accounts.” 

LaShawn continued and said the bank manager said: 

“‘Well, we don’t do that in the retail branch. That’s the Wells Fargo advisors, let me see if I can get somebody on the line.'” 

LaShawn added: 

“He called Lori (Lori Schiller, Wendy’s longtime financial adviser). He went into another room and had a conversation with Lori and came out.”

She said: 

“He said Lori was willing to talk to Wendy, but that she doesn’t want anybody else in the room when she talks to Wendy. So Wendy said, ‘No, why can’t she talk to me with my attorney, I can understand if my son has to leave out of the room, but I want to keep my attorney here.'” 

LaShawn claimed: 

“And Lori said ‘No, I want to talk to Wendy alone,’ and if Wendy doesn’t want to talk to her alone, Lori wouldn’t talk to Wendy.”

The trio then left the bank without any money. A source confirmed the interaction and said that it had caused concern, being that it was unusual for the 58-year-old to come into a brokerage office, with people in tow and ask for access to her accounts.
