Wendy Williams made a rare public appearance on December 19th to celebrate a special milestone in her son Kevin Hunter Jr.’s life. The former daytime talk show host attended Kevin’s graduation from Florida International University in Miami, proudly supporting her son on his big day.
Wendy, who has faced significant health struggles in recent years, wore a sparkling black dress for the occasion, accessorized with a red lip, and silver and gold jewelry. She was seen riding a mobility scooter during the event, demonstrating her determination to be there for her son. Her ensemble also featured a necklace with her initials, “W,” adding a personal touch to her look.
This appearance comes amid Wendy’s ongoing battle with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, conditions that have already started affecting her cognitive functions and communication abilities. Earlier this year, Wendy’s team shared her diagnosis publicly, explaining the decision as part of an effort to raise awareness about these conditions and promote understanding and compassion for others dealing with similar struggles.
Wendy’s health has reportedly continued to decline, with recent legal filings indicating that she has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated. Despite these challenges, Wendy’s presence at her son’s graduation shows her commitment to being part of her family’s important moments.
Her son, Kevin Jr., has been an important support throughout Wendy’s health journey, and the proud mother expressed her joy at being able to celebrate his academic achievement.
