Wendy Williams’ estranged husband Kevin Hunter is out at The Wendy Williams Show.

A week after Williams filed for divorce from Hunter on April 11,  a spokesperson confirmed Thursday that he’ll no longer executive produce the daytime talk show.

“Kevin Hunter is no longer an executive producer on The Wendy Williams Show,” a rep said in a statement to the media. “Debmar-Mercury wishes him well in his future endeavors.”

Hunter has yet to speak publicly about his departure from the series, but he did recently address his split from his wife of 21 years.

“I have dedicated most of our lives to the business empire that is Wendy Williams Hunter, a person that I truly love and respect unconditionally,” he said in a statement to People Tuesday.

“I am not proud of my recent actions and take full accountability and apologize to my wife, my family and her amazing fans. I am going through a time of self-reflection and am trying to right some wrongs,” he added.
