Wendy Williams' ex-husband needs to go back to the drawing board if he wants to take legal action over her guardianship ... because a judge just tossed a lawsuit he tried to file on her behalf.

Transcript

00:00Wendy Williams has not won the war, but she won a battle today, a battle with her ex-husband over her money, essentially,

00:09and his efforts to say that he has any say in her finances at the moment.

00:15It was a weird lawsuit. So her ex-husband, who Wendy does not like, and there was a bitter, contentious divorce,

00:21filed this weird lawsuit saying he was filing it on behalf of Wendy against all sorts of people saying that this guardianship's illegal

00:32and I think the Lifetime thing may have been involved, the documentary she did, and he does not have a dog in this fight.

00:38I mean, he is the ex-husband. He has no, what we call in the law, privity of contract with Wendy Williams, and it's a bogus case.

00:48He tried to say that he was the next friend. It's ridiculous. To her, the next friend.

00:53He's acknowledging that, oh, we're not married, but I'm still our next friend.

00:56But in the lawsuit, he claimed personal damages of $250 million. It was this weird thing.

01:01Presumably that was on her behalf and she would get it. I mean, putting aside the silliness of the lawsuit.

01:06But he said that I am owed $250 million. It was just a bizarre, bizarre lawsuit.

01:11So the judge dismissed it today. And as the judge, we knew the judge would.

01:17But I mean, this guy has no, and then the question is, why was Kevin Hunter Sr. really suing?

01:22I wonder what the answer to that is. Because it's not like he was looking out for Wendy the way that, you know, he seems to be.

01:29What was their relationship in the years after their divorce? Would they remain tight?

01:32Not bad. No. It's always been bad.

01:36Even during the marriage.

01:37Really bad.

01:37Yes. The idea that he would step into her shoes as the next friend is bizarre.

01:42Right. I mean, clearly he was just trying to find some legal loophole.

01:45But by the way, you spoke to Wendy a couple of minutes ago and I talked to her.

01:50I can't we can't show her on video because she's locked in this prison that they call a memory care.

01:57Memory care. You have an honor, senior, your ex-husband.

02:01They dismiss the case when it was at a federal court hearing, you know, earlier this morning.

02:07And, you know, of course he wants to steal my money, the ex.

02:11You know, in the meantime, it's been dismissed, you know, and I'm happy. Why not?

02:19By the way, I just got to talk about when you hear her and I hear you speaking to her all the time.

02:24It's like, you just heard her.

02:26That woman does not sound like someone who needs to be under any care, certainly not in a memory care unit.

02:33And yet she's still at this facility.

02:36She's been in this guardianship for three years.

02:39And I talked to her for 45 minutes a few days ago.

02:43And I'm telling you, she is as lucid.

02:45She was really lucid, objectively lucid, but as much as she was 15 years ago.

02:50And, you know, even if she has this disease that they say she has, frontotemporal dementia,

02:56you know, if somebody gets diagnosed with Alzheimer's,

02:58they don't put them in a guardianship the day they get diagnosed.

03:01If they can't take care of themselves and there's no one to take care of them at that point, maybe.

03:06But not now when she's perfectly lucid and capable and has people who can help her.

03:13And the idea she's in this guardianship where the guardian is spending 25, blowing $25,000 a month on this facility.

03:23The guardian is making hundreds of dollars an hour.

03:26And there are all these people who are making money off the backs of Wendy Williams locked in that unit.

03:34And she doesn't even know.

03:36She's been asking, how much money do I have left?

03:39They're not even telling her that.

03:41And the idea that she is lingering in this unit is outrageous.

03:45Can I say something that doesn't add up?

03:47And we've seen Wendy out and about a little bit more in recent months.

03:53So, but you should know that even though she, when she goes out, she still has to get approval to go out every time.

04:00Here's my point is, and when we've seen her out, this is at New York Fashion Week when she was out.

04:05She is clearly fine.

04:07If she weren't fine, if she really were suffering the effects of dementia at this moment,

04:12why would they be saying, yes, it's okay to go to Fashion Week?

04:15And she doesn't go with like, she doesn't have a nurse with her.

04:18She does have a bodyguard now.

04:19She's a bodyguard, yes.

04:20You wouldn't let someone just go to a Fashion Week event if she were truly suffering from the effects of dementia.

04:26There is an answer to that.

04:28The guardianship is...

04:29That's the answer.
