Wendy Williams’ husband,Kevin Hunter, 47, is still leading a double life with much younger massage therapist Sharina Hudson, 33.
The affair is at the root of 54-year-old Williams’ dependence on alcohol and prescription drugs after she finally admitted on Tuesday she’s living in a sober house to tackle her demons.
Daily Mail reports that, Hunter’s mistress has given her married boyfriend several ultimatums, insisting he leave Williams so they can settle down and start a family together, according to a source close to the couple.
But Hunter – who manages his TV star wife’s career and runs a production company they jointly own – has given her a reality check and insists on continuing to juggle both women.
Kevin is in love with Sharina but he told her he can’t leave his wife, but the only reason he is still with Wendy is because he and Sharina can’t take care of themselves – they need her money,’ a source told DailyMailTV.
‘Sharina has given Kevin several ultimatums over the years and he’s had to point out, ”we can’t afford to take care of ourselves”.
‘She’s living in a very nice apartment in Manhattan he pays for and he got her a studio in midtown for one of her many businesses that he supports.
‘He put her through school to be a massage therapist, he opened a kiosk for her at a mall in North Carolina where she’s from.
‘He helped her set up a jewelry and clothing line online called VISH. But none of her businesses have been a success.’
DailyMailTV learned the TV host confronted Hunter about his mistress after she hired a private detective and told him: ‘Don’t you dare humiliate me.’
But the situation caused her to spiral out of control and turn to booze and drugs.
On Tuesday morning Williams broke down in tears on her show, admitting she had been living at a sober home and was attending meetings around New York City.
