Last year former talk show host Wendy Williams was locked out of her bank accounts, a move allegedly triggered after her son Kevin Hunter Jr. went on a $100k shopping spree [click here if you missed that].
In a new interview Kevin Jr. insists the money was spent on his mother...

Wendy Williams' son, Kevin Hunter Jr., 22, is defending himself after he was accused of stealing from his famous mama.
Before Wells Fargo froze the former talk show host's accounts after she was allegedly of "unsound mind," it was reported that Hunter Jr. spent $100,000 on her American Express card.
"In court, they brought up the American Express situation. They made this a much bigger issue. When she was here [in Florida] the AmEx card was our only source of paying for things," he claimed in a new interview.
"The AmEx was the only source of paying for things after that, especially when it came to doctors' appointments and private planes to get her to and from appointments in New York," he continued. "I had to look for ways to transport her. If we had to get to an appointment up there [in New York], we would have to book a private plane, if we had to make a certain appointment down here — we had to book it on the AmEx."
Hunter Jr. explained he cared for his mother in Florida from late 2021 until the spring of 2022 before she potentially returned to work in New York City.
"They knew that in having her here [in Florida], they were losing a lot of their earnings," he said of Williams' manager, Bernie Young, and her financial advisor for Wells Fargo. "Having her here in an environment where the number one priority isn't being at The Wendy Williams Show, or to be at certain appointments or whatever, they were more annoyed by the fact that they didn't have the control that they have had over her all these years — from my perspective."
Hunter Jr. said he previously "used" the credit card before her health woes made headlines and she had to be watched.
"Before everything that happened, ever since I was young, starting in the sixth grade, she always allowed me access to a credit card, whether it was for an emergency or because I wanted something," he said. "And what she would do was she would read her credit card statement at the end of the month, and I never took advantage of it. It was never something that she would ever say it was inconvenient or anything like that — it was always something she wanted to do because she wanted me to enjoy certain access to things, as her son."
"Once everyone else got involved and saw who I am in all of this — and that I was very serious about keeping her in a state of healing, and that I wasn't going to take a certain amount of money to bring her back to New York, I said 'Listen I appreciate that offer,' but once I made that clear, that I was very serious, then it became about certain 'evidence' being brought against me, and transactions were brought against me to make it seem like I was taking advantage of her American Express account," he continued. "The reality of the situation was I have never had a reason to go behind her back to buy something that I would want. If anything she'd offer to get things and I would say, 'Mom that's a lot.'"
Hunter Jr. insisted he doesn't "care about being flashy," and he was hurt when he was accused of "taking advantage" of his mother, which was far from the truth.
When the New Jersey native was locked out of her Wells Fargo accounts and in his care, he was also not able to access his school accounts.
"So anything that I would normally be able to pay for on my own through my school accounts, they had locked me out of. So we had to use the AmEx to get through," he said.

Like I said!!!! I knew well before he made this statement that this was the case! I had my child on my am ex card discover card and citi card and capital one card since she was in high school she had her own cards to those accounts I told her what she could use and if something came up to use it! When you speak to your kids like this and give them certain things they are USED to it they don’t have a reason to steal or misuse and abuse your trust ! My child ever used those cards to the point I was like hold up what you doing! And now my child has their own cards and they don’t use them crazy either. It’s crazy for anyone to think she would have her only child out her a son at that struggling and not have access to her wealth! Wendy failed to have her shyt together and in order and paperwork in order and that’s how these other ppl are able to take advantage they even trying to say he giving money to his dad when we all know this dude fought his dad after it came out about what he did to Wendy!
I believe him. He's a decent kid. His father is the scallywag.
I bet he tried to syphon some funds through little Kev.
Any money him or his dad have was stolen from Wendy. Neither of them make any money
Private plane vs. Amtrak quiet car
Let's be real here, the father used the son as the go-between to Wendy's cash. Notice how now that Wendy's money has been sewed up neatly in a bow, the ex-husband has lost everything. He was tapping into her resources through the son. Is he expecting us to believe Wells Fargo went through every expense line by line and didn't realize there were some misappropriations? They saw everything and what was being spent.
Jr is young but that is no longer an excuse. If he was so involved and making sure of everything was what it was supposed to be how come it wasn't. He knew for a fact his moms had no one, as her one and only he could of dropped that high living act and get back to NYC and enroll in college. Thats a period. Not one pic of him back and forth with moms nowhere and there were cameras on her and her pom poms the whole time. Laying out drunk and sleep in the stores and seedy strip bars. That aint nothing but him and his pops and uncle all those men in her life and she is alone. Not cool
He should be going to schools right here in NYC. Live with her and take care of her. You can't look out for her in Florida.
A private plane tho? Wendy didn't need that.
@3:09bhebwas not tapping in through his son he is losing everything because wendy is no longer required to pay him alimony ! When they divorced she was made to pay him alimony but she put a clause in it that stated if she was sick or unable to work then all payments would stop. This fools was living alimony check to alimony check so when she stopped paying he was SOL! He even went to court and tried to have the court force her to pay and they said oh no she sick and can not work she has lost her job so all payments to you sir stops! He even said it court that now that the payments have stopped it caused him to have financial hardship.
