LOS ANGELES >> Wendy Williams’ recent public outings have been far and few, but her latest appearance this week was for a major milestone.
The former talk show host, whose health issues came to light in recent years, served proud mom energy as she attended son Kevin Hunter Jr.’s college graduation ceremony on Thursday. Hunter, who Williams shares with ex-husband Kevin Hunter, graduated from Florida International University reportedly with a bachelor’s degree in economics.
Photos published by People and New York Post show Williams’ glittery get-up and motorized scooter, which she personalized with luxury fashion accessories including a cup-holder seemingly wrapped in Louis Vuitton’s iconic brown monogram. The Post shared photos of Williams, 60, sitting with family and seemingly wiping away tears as her son walked across the stage to receive his degree. Williams’ father, Thomas Williams, and her sister, Wanda Finnie, also reportedly joined the former TV personality for Hunter’s big day.
Williams has kept a relatively low public profile since she left her daytime talk show in in 2022 amid health and personal struggles.
Earlier this year, representatives for Williams revealed she had been diagnosed with aphasia and contemporaneous dementia. Williams also lives with Graves’ disease, a thyroid-related autoimmune condition.
