Williams also cut ties with Hunter professionally, removing him as executive producer from The Wendy Williams Show, with a spokesperson adding they are not hiring an additional EP to replace him.
Williams also believes that the affair Hunter was engaged in lasted upwards of 15 to 16 years, which made Williams re-evaluate her life.
'That made her realize it was time to move forward with her life. Seek treatment and move on. She's not taking him back,' the source said.

When Williams mentioned that he still wears his wedding ring, despite going through the early stages of divorce, Jones brought it back to Williams.
'You got something on your hand, too, so I ain't talking about that,' Jones said, which got quite the reaction from the crowd. 'I'm just saying … we can talk about your man.'
Williams actually wasn't wearing her wedding ring, but instead she had a floral ring she often wears on the show, when she fired back at the CNN host.
'Excuse me,' she interrupted, 'this side of the couch is for the asking of the questions,' Williams said.
