Wendy Williams’ estranged husband Kevin Hunter is out at The Wendy Williams Show.
A week after Williams filed for divorce on April 11, a spokesperson confirmed her ex has lost his job.
“Kevin Hunter is no longer an executive producer on The Wendy Williams Show,” a rep said in a statement to the media on Thursday. “Debmar-Mercury wishes him well in his future endeavors.”
Hunter has yet to speak out publicly about his departure from the series, but he did recently address cheating accusations and his divorce from Williams after 21 years of marriage.
“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. “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.”

Hunter, who has worked at the show since 2011, made the statement amid reports that he recently fathered a child with massage therapist Sharina Hudson. The two have allegedly been involved in a long-term affair.
Sources spilled details to Page Six about the love triangle.
“This is a crazy situation, Wendy is in a halfway house fighting for her sobriety, while her husband is at the side of his mistress who is giving birth to a baby. Sharina went into labor on Sunday [and] is believed to have given birth late on Sunday or in the early hours of Monday,” one person told the outlet.
Another added, “Everyone who loves Wendy is heartbroken and furious. Her fans are furious that she lied to them about her health and about what she has been going through.”
In September 2017, the Daily Mail published a story saying Hunter was leading a “double life.”
“The 46-year-old has been seeing Sharina Hudson, 32, for more than 10 years, splitting his time between the New Jersey home he shares with Williams, 53, and their teenage son Kevin Jr, and a secluded suburban house that he bought for his mistress just nine miles down the road,” the article said.
As for Williams, she took to the “Hot Topics” segment of her show on Monday to gush about her “new life.”
The author and host also joked about entertaining numerous dating offers from Breakfast Club radio personality Charlamagne tha God and her show’s DJ, known as “Boof.”
It’s not yet clear at this time if Hunter will be replaced on the show.
