Wendy Williams’ legal guardian has filed new court documents demanding Kevin Hunter pay back $112,500 dollars in alimony.

Sabrina Morrissey claims in court docs that the famed TV show’s ex-husband was “overpaid” for three months and was “unjustly enriched” by Williams’ bank account.

Morrissey says that the “Wendy Williams Show” ceased paying the former host in October 2021, but Hunter continued receiving payments until January 2022, which he confirmed.

“I believe this was largely the result of the fact that the payments had been put on an ‘autopay’ function within her account,” Morrissey states in the documents

She added that the payments go “against the express terms” of their settlement agreement, which stated that Hunter’s payments would cease if his ex-wife’s income reduced to “less than 2 times her then yearly income (as of Feb. 1, 2020).”

“By holding on to the funds he was overpaid, he has interfered with [Williams’] right of possessions to those funds,” the documents state.

She also requested the court issue a gag order on Hunter, who she believes has been talking to the press. Bruce Glikas/Getty Images “The potential harm to [Williams] is great,” she states in the documents. WireImage

In addition to returning the six-figure sum, Morrissey also wants Hunter to pay back the interest and requests the court issue a gag order against him to prevent him from speaking to “press or others.”

“The potential harm to [Williams] is great,” she states. “Mr. Hunter and his agents have shown their willingness to talk to the press about these issues.”

The Sun was the first to report the news of Morrissey’s filing.

Williams’ financial woes and health were documented in a two-part documentary earlier this year. Lifetime Wells Fargo requested the media personality have a guardian in early 2022. Lifetime

Williams, 59, has been placed under a guardianship since early February 2022 when her bank stepped in and claimed to a New York court that her behavior was “concerning.”

The Lifetime special, however, also dove into Williams’ dementia and aphasia diagnoses, which her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., said stemmed from her yearslong alcohol abuse.

Morrissey subsequently accused A+E Networks, which is Lifetime’s parent company, of “humiliating” Williams by filming her “in an obviously disabled state.”

A spokesperson for A+E Networks told Page Six in response to Morrissey’s filing, “We look forward to the unsealing of our papers as well, as they tell a very different story.”
