Former daytime talk show host Wendy Williams’ ex-husband, Kelvin Hunter, has received a significant legal victory in his ongoing lawsuit against Dubmar Mercury, the production company behind “The Wendy Williams Show.” The lawsuit, which revolves around Hunter’s alleged wrongful termination from his role as an executive producer of the show, has recently been given the green light to proceed by a New York federal judge.

The lawsuit, initially filed by Hunter last year, alleges that he was terminated from his position as an executive producer of “The Wendy Williams Show” solely due to his marital status and impending divorce from Wendy Williams. Hunter claims that his contributions to the show’s success were disregarded, and he argues that he played a significant role in negotiating Wendy Williams’ contracts with Dubmar Mercury, resulting in a substantial financial increase for the show.

According to Hunter’s lawsuit, he was instrumental in the development of key segments of the show, including “Hot Topics” and the “Shoe Cam.” He also asserts that he had the final say on guest appearances and developed marketing strategies to boost ratings. Hunter’s legal team argues that his termination violated New York law, which prohibits discrimination based on marital status.

The recent ruling by the New York federal judge denied Dubmar Mercury’s attempt to dismiss the lawsuit, stating that Hunter had sufficiently argued his case for marital status discrimination. As a result, the case will proceed, with a hearing scheduled for later this month.

While this legal victory represents a significant step forward for Kelvin Hunter in his legal battle against Dubmar Mercury, it does not guarantee a favorable outcome. The lawsuit is ongoing, and both parties will continue to present their arguments in court.

The outcome of this case will have significant implications not only for Kelvin Hunter but also for the entertainment industry as a whole. It raises important questions about employment rights and discrimination in the workplace, particularly in high-profile industries such as television production.

As the legal proceedings unfold, Wendy Williams’ fans and industry observers will undoubtedly be closely following the developments in this case. The outcome could have far-reaching consequences for both parties involved and may shed light on the complexities of workplace dynamics in the entertainment industry.
