Do you think you two will eventually become friends?
We’re friendly now. We co-parent well. He showed up for my mother’s funeral. I called him and told him we all wanted him there. He came, and he looked very handsome. He dressed like Kevin. His pants were sagging. Yep, that’s him. He used to be my Kevin, but now he is Journey’s daddy. But I’d say we’re friends now. We have our conversations, but the truth is I outgrew the marriage, and I always knew that would happen. I believe that it takes most people much longer to get over their marriage, but I’m over him. I’m disappointed in him. I don’t regret him. I appreciate the things that he brought to my life, and I’m sure he appreciates the alimony checks that he gets from me. I know he follows me on the ‘Gram and on Facebook. He probably still has that alert on his phone to find out when something happens with me. He’s a fan.
You mention several times in the movie and documentary about being your own best friend. Has that served you well?
I’m glad that I’ve always been my own best friend. Nobody should replace you as your best friend. A lot of people who get married and enter relationships and put others before themselves, some even get that confused in their job and career. They start things without really knowing themselves or what they need from others. You have to put yourself first and not feel bad about doing that. I love my son, but I have to take care of myself first or he won’t have a mother.
“Wendy Williams: The Movie” will be followed by the Lifetime documentary “Wendy Williams: What a Mess!” And, yes, it’s a mess but a mess we love to watch.
