And while last month Williams said on her show that she was “very much in love with my husband” and that her ring “ain’t going anywhere,” she is definitely singing a different tune.
As we know, there are plenty of reasons for Williams to walk away from her marriage, which includes Hunter allegedly having
a decade long affair with Hudson, perhaps even having a baby with her. That, and Williams has been
battling with addiction issues, which Hunter’s alleged cheating may have caused her to spiral.
Also, it was reported that
Williams was allegedly rushed to the hospital last month after hearing of Hudson and Hunter’s bundle of joy. That, and the 54-year-old’s popular talk show is on
another hiatus.

Then there were the allegations of physical abuse.
Sources told the New York Post in the past that employees claimed they heard the two fighting and that Williams would hide in her office to avoid seeing him.
“She would hide in the bathroom and tell me to knock on the door when he left the office so she wouldn’t have to see him,” an intern told the newspaper.
“You’d hear slaps or some type of tussling going on.”
Well, here’s what we know: We are elated for Wendy, and while we know it will be hard in the beginning, she truly deserves real love, fidelity and happiness. This, is the much-needed step in that direction.
