Wendy Williams files for divorce; Jeffrey Tambor's final farewell on 'Transparent'
Hollywood Nation: Talk show host Wendy Williams files for divorce from husband and manager Kevin Hunter after nearly 22 years of marriage; Jeffrey Tambor gets a final farewell on Amazon's 'Transparent' as series creator Jill Soloway confirms his character will be killed off in the show's musical finale.
Kevin Hunter Jr. pleaded not guilty for allegedly assaulting his father, Kevin Hunter, TMZ reported.
The 18-year-old son of Kevin Sr. and daytime talk show host Wendy Williams appeared in a New Jersey court on Tuesday for his arraignment following his May 21 arrest for getting into a brawl with his father outside of Krauszer’s Food Stores in West Orange. Hunter Jr. wore a white button-down shirt without a tie and black slacks for the appearance.
The prosecutor reportedly asked for more time to review the case, and no action was taken.

As Page Six exclusively revealed, the fight began after Kevin Jr. called his father “a b—h” and resulted in Kevin Jr.’s arrest for domestic violence simple assault.
According to a heavily redacted police report we obtained, responding officers were told that things escalated after Kevin Jr.’s comment, causing Kevin Sr. to strike his son “with a closed fist to the face,” which Kevin Sr. later denied.
