Wendy Williams Stuns Fans With Her Appearance In Behind-The-Scenes Video At Her Son's Graduation

Wendy Williams attended her son's graduation in Miami, Florida, last week, and a new video shared on Instagram shows the former talk show diva behind the scenes.

Williams' son, Kevin Hunter Jr., graduated from Florida International University last week, and his mother attended the ceremony while riding a motorized scooter.

In a new video shared on Instagram by digital creator Ronald Beasley, Wendy Williams was seen having her nails done before the ceremony.

According to Beasly, the fashionista also asked for a new wig after not having a new one for more than a year.

"Wendy told me it's been a whole year since she's had a new wig," said Beasly in the video. "She asked for a new one, and Bali in Miami made one for her. She couldn't stop talking about how much she loved the wig and how it made her feel."

Williams also reportedly had a pedicure and dined on fresh seafood while poolside.

Wendy Williams Cried At Kevin's Graduation Ceremony

Williams reportedly teared up while watching Kevin graduate from college. The 60-year-old diva attended the ceremony with her sister, Wanda Finnie, and her 93-year-old father, Thomas Williams Sr.

Hunter graduated with an economics degree and has his sights set on law school.

Beasly posted the video on Instagram with the caption, "Kevin Hunter Jr. celebrated a monumental achievement by graduating from FIU with a degree in Economics. With his entire family in town to share this special moment, I had the privilege of capturing the love, pride, and joy they shared."

"As he sets his sights on law school, Kevin is determined to become the second lawyer in his family. Let's wish him the best as he prepares for his upcoming LSATs and embarks on this exciting journey," he continued.

"When Kev walked across that stage, Wendy jumped up with anxiousness and excitement," said Beasly in the video. "The family is full of educators, so seeing this special brought Kev's aunt and mom to tears of joy. This was a certified family affair."

The video ended with Beasley stressing the importance of Williams being around her family.

Kevin Says The Isolation In Treatment Facility Is 'Killing' Williams

According to The Neighborhood Talk, Kevin Hunter Jr. says that his mother wants to "come home" and that the isolation Williams experiences at the care facility "is killing her."

Williams was placed in a care facility by her court-appointed guardian, and in the Lifetime documentary, "Where Is Wendy Williams?" Hunter said he didn't think Morrissey was doing a good job of protecting his mother.

Morrisey tried to block the documentary from airing, citing Williams' privacy.

"While I'm here quick update on my mom. She's sober and wants to come home," Hunter wrote on Instagram. "We're fighting to make that happen because Isolation is killing her faster than anything else."

Williams' sister also shared concerns in the documentary that Wendy wasn't being well taken care of and said she wanted to care for her sister at home.

Morrissy tried to block the release of "Where Is Wendy Williams?" before it premiered last February. The guardian filed a la,wsuit citing it violated Williams' privacy, but a judge dismissed the lawsuit.

One of the documentary's producers, Mark Ford, claimed he was concerned for Williams' well-being as they filmed in her New York apartment. Morrissey placed Williams in the care center in April 2023.

"Shouldn't there be somebody here more often?" said Ford. "Shouldn't there be somebody filling a refrigerator and checking in on her on a daily basis?"

Wendy Williams Ate Jamaican Food Following The Ceremony

According to Beasley, Williams felt like eating Jamaican food following her son's graduation, so the family went to the Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen in Miami after the ceremony for dinner.

Beasley said that the family had a good time and noted that Williams rapped songs "word for word" throughout the evening.

"I wish we could see more moments like this of her with her family," added Beasly.
