“I know this is a difficult case for a number of different reasons,” Judge Katz said during the hearing.
“It’s difficult for both parties, but also because of the physical, mental health and financial issues, it’s difficult for both parties, and both parties need to have this resolved. I think this case needs to go to arbitration, but Sir, it needs discovery.”
Kevin, 51, then suggested that Sabrina, 59 — who was granted guardianship of Wendy, 59, in 2022 due to her declining health — was purposefully withholding the TV personality’s financial records for fear of being exposed for allegedly pocketing her money. his ex-wife.
“Ms. Morrissey gave me no reason to stop payments. If Ms. Morrissey had attempted to modify the records, this would be different,” the television producer alleged.

“I’m not just worried about the money; she came in, invaded and exhausted the account in that time”, Kevin further stated.
“This has become a real farce.”
COURT BATTLE
The judge reprimanded Wendy’s guardian for not granting Kevin’s request, saying, “Clearly, this cannot be resolved because the parties are in the dark.”
Sabrina defended herself, responding: “I did what I could in the New York court, but it’s very difficult to disclose things that should be private.”
“People won’t be content if they don’t have all the information, so I don’t know why they don’t have information,” Katz responded.
Kevin then expressed his frustration with the situation and stated that his ex had more than enough money in the bank to resume the divorce payments they had previously agreed upon.
It’s been three years since the divorce payments stopped, the father of two noted before mentioning Wendy’s last high-paying gig — her Lifetime docuseries, Where Is Wendy Williams?, released earlier this year.
“Everything she signed brought in more than $500,000. Meanwhile, Mrs. Morrissey is telling me that there is no money, but everyone is using the best in production.
“She is clearly in tune with the production as she signs it,” Kevin claimed.
Katz turned his attention to Sabrina and said, “I don’t know anything about this, but it looks like you have the consent of [Wendy] to resolve this, and if Mr. Hunter only received two months of statements, it is up to him to know what is out there and give what was asked.
“An arbitrator will decide whether there has been a violation [of Kevin and Wendy’s marital settlement agreement]and then if there was, we need discovery to see any damages,” he demanded.
I’m not just worried about the money, but she came in, broke in and drained the account in that time. This has become a real farce.
Kevin Caçador
US Sun obtained exclusive photos of Kevin and Sabrina leaving the hearing, with Kevin looking pleased with the outcome and Sabrina looking stressed.
Earlier this month, Wendy’s guardian asked the judge to place a gag order on Kevin’s request, although Katz did not consider that idea at the hearing.
“I request that the Court increase the protection of this case and issue a ‘gag order,’ thereby instructing Mr. Hunter not to speak to the press or others, except legal advisors, about these matters and to instruct anyone with whom he has previously discussed these matters that they should not communicate about these matters to anyone else,” Sabrina demanded in her lawsuit.
‘NO MORE MONEY’
As The US Sun previously reported, Kevin asked the court to intervene after claiming that his and Wendy’s marital settlement agreement payments suddenly stopped shortly before she was placed under conservatorship.
A source close to mediation talks in 2022 previously revealed to The US Sun that during a meeting between the parties in December, the mediator informed Kevin and his team: “The reality is there is no more money.”
The out-of-court sessions were supposed to resolve Kevin’s claims that he owed money according to his and Wendy’s agreement.
The source close to the negotiations said that despite the mediator’s statement about Wendy’s financial affairs, “they have not been offered any evidence to support the claim” that the former Wendy Williams Show host is broke.
AN UPDATE ON WENDY
Wendy admitted on her Lifetime docu-series while discussing her conservatorship, “I don’t have any money.”
“And let me tell you something: If it happens to me, it could happen to you.”
Prior to the release of the docu-series, Wendy’s medical team announced that she had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, affecting her physical and mental health.
The health update comes two years after Wendy was let go from her talk show for missing the entire 13th season.
Wendy hosted the nationally syndicated talk show from 2008 to 2021.
