Wendy Williams' Husband Kevin Hunter Had Been Accused Of Poisoning Talk Show Host

Police in January visited the New Jersey home of talk show Wendy Williams amid allegations she was being poisoned by her then-husband Kevin Hunter, according to reports.

In an anonymous call to police, Hunter was said to have slipped Williams something harmful. The caller worked for Williams' production company.

When two officers from the Livingston Police Department arrived at the residence for a welfare check, it was Hunter who answered the door and he reportedly acted oddly about allowing them to visit Williams. When they saw her, she was in bed and covered "from neck to toe" in a blanket, TMZ reported.

TMZ also noted that when an officer asked Williams if she may have been poisoned, Williams responded something to the effect of: "Well, I'm very popular." When pressed on the issue, a tearful Williams confirmed that she was not poisoned.

Hunter refused to leave Williams, despite being urged to do so by one of the responding officers. Upon further investigation, it was determined that Williams was not poisoned by her husband.

Williams, 54, and Hunter, 46, confirmed their divorce on April 11, and he has since moved on as executive producer on the "The Wendy Williams Show." Hunter had also served as Williams' business manager.

Williams announced in March that she is living in a sober house. She has battled cocaine and alchohol additions.
