Wendy Williams Son's Shopping Spree Triggered Wells Fargo Conservatorship


Last month former daytime talk show host Wendy Williams' brother Tommy claimed that Wendy turned away her only son, Kevin Jr, after he tried to visit Wendy in New York for her birthday [click here if you missed that].

Now there are reports that Kevin Jr's lavish spending is the reason Wells Fargo froze his mother's accounts...

From The Sun
WENDY Williams' son, Kevin Hunter Jr. "spent $100,000 on his mother's American Express card" before Wells Fargo froze the ailing host's accounts.
Sources close to the former daytime talk show host exclusively revealed to The U.S. Sun that Kevin ran up a huge tab on her dime in the months before Wendy's brokerage accounts with supposed millions of dollars were frozen in January.
"Kevin Jr. spent around $100,000 on Wendy's personal America Express card. This was her own AmEx specifically," the insider shared.
The source explained that the card that Kevin, 22, used was different than the card Wendy's manager Bernie Young had used to hire attorney Carolyn Wolf, as The U.S. Sun previously reported.
"Kevin was demanding that Wendy's advisor pay the bill- instead of Wendy," the source claimed.
Between the American Express card usage, and the tense visit to a Wells Fargo bank in Florida with Wendy, her son and her now former attorney LaShawn Thomas, there were several red flags ahead of the accounts being frozen, according to sources.
A source confirmed the interaction and said that it had caused concern, as it was unusual for Wendy to come into a brokerage office, with people in tow and ask for access to her accounts.
The trio left the bank empty handed.
In a statement given to The U.S. Sun, Kevin Jr. said: "I vehemently deny any allegations of unauthorized use of my mother’s American Express Card. This is a false narrative perpetuated to justify freezing her accounts."
