WENDY Williams’ former husband Kevin Hunter Sr. felt blindsided and furious upon learning about the new Lifetime documentary on his very troubled ex.

An insider in Wendy‘s inner circle exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Kevin, 51, was caught completely off guard when he saw how his ex was depicted in the Where is Wendy Williams? trailer, and that he was deeply disappointed in the project.

Kevin was shocked to see his ex-wife portrayed in such a negative light in the Lifetime trailer.

“He was also totally blindsided that their son, Kevin Jr, ended up signing onto the project after he initially said he wanted nothing to do with it.”

The insider noted that Wendy’s ex was dead-set against the documentary from day one, as he firmly believed it would only further diminish his ex-wife’s legacy.

The former TV host left her wildly popular talk show during the 12th season in July 2021 amid ongoing health and legal battles.

Kevin, known to friends as Big Kev, told close associates that he found the scene in the trailer showing Wendy, 59, yelling over a bottle of vodka and appearing disoriented in the middle of New York City were “very sad” to see.

Kevin said he was “furious” his ex was “still being exploited to that level.”

Meanwhile, the father-of-two was also sorry that his son, Kevin Jr, ultimately signed onto the project.

“Little Kev was repeatedly advised that it was a bad look to be involved in this project and that it was not in his best interest to have his name attached to it,” the insider added.

In the trailer, the star was filmed as her health steadily declined in recent years.

The former Queen of Daytime TV broke down in tears as she struggled with both mental and physical illness in light of the end of her talk show series.

“Since I was six years old, all I wanted was to be famous,” Wendy told cameras, as footage of her at her peak played.

The New Jersey native was seen smiling and laughing as she greeted hundreds of her adoring fans.

The documentary included scenes from Wendy’s career highlights, including her receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Then, the trailer took a dark turn, showing Wendy in her current state for the first time in over a year.

The documentary teased a sit down with the talk show host’s son, Kevin Hunter Jr., who claimed that his mom has “done a really good job at making it seem like everything’s OK.”

“But in reality, there’s something wrong going on,” he confessed to cameras.

WENDY’S STRUGGLES

One clip in the trailer shows Wendy in the backseat of a black vehicle, her face looking more gaunt than ever before.

A producer off camera asked, “Have you seen a neurologist?” to which the star replied, “To see if I’m crazy? Mhm.”

Other clips showed the former radio host struggling to remain upright, needing assistance to even stand on her own.

A male voice is heard saying: “She was put in front of a judge and given a guardian.

“That was when they took her away from us.”

HEARTBREAKING TURN

Back in a confessional-style scene, while sitting in her iconic purple chair, the TV personality sent fans a warning message.

She revealed: “I have no money.”

“And let me tell you something, if it happens to me, it can happen to you.”

Wendy then broke down in tears on camera, while clutching a pillow tight to her chest.

In another triggering scene, the host’s manager Will Selby asked if she drank an entire bottle of vodka “today.”

The star snapped and told him “keep the bottle there,” despite her frail condition while lying in bed.

Then the radio host’s son said he believes his mom has “worked enough” in her career, though she intended to “return to TV.”

At another disturbing point in the trailer, Wendy admitted she “didn’t know” where she was, although she was driving around in Manhattan – her home for years.

Right after a member of Wendy’s team then claimed she seemed to be “losing memory.”

Her niece, and Flordia TV newscaster  Alex Finnie, told the host that there have been “random people around,” to which Wendy added, “Stealing money from me.”

The troubled star’s two-part documentary airs on Lifetime on February 24 and 25.
