For a former shock jock and current TV gossip queen like Wendy Williams, it’s pretty hard to shock fans with the things that come out of her mouth. But earlier this week she had everyone’s jaw dropping when she made a teary-eyed confession on air claiming that her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., doesn’t like her anymore. Since then, fans have been sympathizing with Williams and wondering what home life is like post-confession. Yesterday, Williams finally gave fans their answer when she appeared on “The View” and explained why she was so emotional about her son.
While chatting with “The View” hosts about the teary confession, Williams explained that her emotional words were born out of long held frustration about having to be the “bad cop” parent with her son while watching him have an easier time bonding with his father over guy stuff.
“For ’bout the last year, it has been, ‘Kevin stop leaving toothpaste chunks in the sink’. You tell ‘em that once, you tell ‘em that three times. If I ask you to do something once, you do it then,” Williams said as an example of her frustration.
Luckily for Williams, Kevin was out of school for the MLK holiday and had watched the show live. After the taping, Kevin came to her dressing room and assured his mom that he really did love and like her.
“He was off from school…And he came down to my dressing room and was like, ‘Mommy, no I love you. You are so cool. I need to say this to you now so you understand’” Williams explained.
The next day, Kevin made his mother a handmade gift just to show her his appreciation.
“He made me a card after this happened. This ’5 Things I Love About Mom,’” explained Williams, as she pulled out the card and read off the list of reasons why Kevin loved her.
“The View” hosts assured Williams that she was doing a good job as a mother, even when she’s being the “Bad cop,” and Williams explained that she and her son’s relationship is still great, despite her frustrations.
“I don’t mind being the bad guy because when I’m good, I’m good. I’m good when I’m good. And I know this is not over. I know that I will still feel this way. Just because I cried on my show and I’m here talking to you all doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen again,” she said.
“I am doing something right. He’s a good boy. We have an excellent relationship. There is no favorite parent,” she added.
Well, we were hoping that Williams’ public tears would result in a deep and heartfelt conversation with her son. We’re glad that they now both have a better understanding of where the other is coming from and we hope they both appreciate each other at least a bit more. – nicholas robinson
