Wendy Williams Makes Rare Public Appearance to Attend Son’s Graduation

Wendy Williams was present for her son’s graduation despite reports of her being “permanently incapacitated.”

Wendy Williams made a rare public appearance on Dec. 19 to attend her son’s college graduation despite her ailing health.

The former daytime talk show host was seen in an electric wheelchair with her father, Thomas Williams Sr., 93, and her sister, Wanda Finnie, watching her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., 24, receive his diploma from Florida International University (FIU) in Miami. Photos shared by the NY Post show Williams wearing a sparkly dress with Chanel shoes and a Louis Vuitton purse while wheeling herself around the commencement ceremony.

Kevin Jr. earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from FIU. It followed his transfer from Barry University, where he took time off from 2021 to 2022 to care for his mother. Williams was seen wiping tears from her eyes while watching her son, an only child, accept his diploma.

Her latest sighting at her son’s graduation comes days after fans spotted Williams picking up a take-out order from Sho’nuff Oysters in Fort Lauderdale. The radio and TV personality has maintained a low profile since announcing her dementia diagnosis earlier this year.
