This week, Wendy Williams‘ son, Kevin Hunter Jr. plead not guilty for allegedly assaulting his father, Kevin Hunter, Sr.
According to TMZ on Tuesday, the talk show host’s 18-year-old son appeared in a New Jersey court on for his arraignment in connection to his May 21st arrest. Police were called after Hunter got into a physical altercation with his father outside of Krauszer’s Food Stores in West Orange.
Originally, it was reported that Williams and her estranged husband would be by their son’s side as the teenager entered a plea in the assault case. However, a source told Page Six that while Hunter’s parents were at the courthouse, they opted to stay outside of the courtroom to avoid causing a spectacle.
On the night of the incident, Hunter Jr. and his father allegedly got into a heated argument about the turmoil the family has been under since it was reported that Hunter Sr. had a baby with a woman believed to be his long time mistress.
Once the verbal disagreement became physical, the young man allegedly smacked the 46-year-old in the nose, in efforts to break free from his father’s headlock. A bystander was said to have jumped in and intervened during the brawl.
