Police reportedly conducted a wellness check on Wendy Williams at her New Jersey home earlier this year after an anonymous caller claimed the TV personality’s husband, Kevin Winter was poisoning her, People reports.
The incident reportedly occurred during Williams’ television hiatus in Jan. 2019. According to the police report obtained by People, police arrived at Williams’ residence shortly after the call was made. Hunter reportedly answered the door, claiming his wife was recovering from an illness.
Authorities noted that Hunter was “hesitant” to let the police inside the house but eventually did. There, they found Williams in bed with a “blanket covering her from neck to toe.” Williams told the cops she was recovering from a broken shoulder.
Williams reportedly “became tearful” when they asked if there was any truth to the poisoning allegation, but she ultimately denied that any wrongdoing was taking place. Police said Hunter “then responded saying something to the effect of there had never been any calls to his house regarding domestic violence.”
While the couple might not have received calls to the house, there have been rumors of domestic abuse. Many assumed that was one of many reasons why Williams filed for divorce against Hunter earlier this month. Even so, the Williams maintained that she was leaving on good terms.
“I am going through a time of self-reflection and am trying to right some wrongs,” he said a recent episode of her self-titled show. “No matter what the outcome is or what the future holds, we are still The Hunter Family and I will continue to work with and fully support my wife in this business and through any and all obstacles she may face living her new life of sobriety, while I also work on mine.”
