The documentary came as a surprise not only to many fans but also to her former husband, Kevin Hunter Sr.! He apparently had no clue about his son’s involvement in it, nor did he expect his ex-wife to be portrayed in such a “negative light!” An insider in Wendy’s inner circle told The US Sun:
The source said Kevin never wanted the documentary to be made since the beginning as he felt it would ruin Wendy’s legacy. And the trailer had been hard for the 51-year-old to see. The outlet reported that Kevin told close associates he found the moment of Wendy yelling over a bottle of vodka and appearing confused in New York City “very hard” to see. Oof. Ultimately, Kevin was “furious” that the former radio host was “still being exploited to that level.” He is also Kevin Jr. signed onto the documentary. The insider added:
Wow. This documentary seems to be causing a divide in the family. Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.
