Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to celebrate TV and Film’s occasionally dangerous past.
What we’re revisiting today? Wendy Williams‘ bitter feud with rival radio host (and Beyonce detractor) Miss Jones in the Morning.
A feud, one of Wendy’s former friends says almost saw her murdered by Williams’ husband.
The drama began when one of Wendy’s former employees, Nicole Spence, launched a legal battle against Williams and her husband Kevin Hunter over sexual assault allegations.
Then, much to the world’s horror, Spence alleged that Hunter had been on the hunt for a hitman she says was supposed to slay Miss Jones…and take her off the airwaves…forever.
Why?
He was apparently angry over some comments that Miss Jones made about his wife on the air.
Hunter denied the wild allegations and went on to soar with ‘The Wendy Williams Show‘, the talkshow he produces alongside his outspoken wife.
Fortunately for all involved, proof of a plan to murder Jones is yet to be found.
