Wendy Williams joined the list of women who’ve turned their lemony experiences with cheating into lemonade Thursday, getting laughs and cheers from the audience at ABC’s “The View” after opening up about her decision to seek a divorce from estranged husband Kevin Hunter.
“Infidelity is one thing,” she explained. “A full baby is a whole ‘nother topic.”
Back in March, Page Six reported that a woman believed to be Hunter’s mistress gave birth to a baby while Williams was in a sober living facility. That revelation was a jumping-off point for the talk show host, who joked, “I’m not changing Pampers. I want to be pampered!”
“The View” co-host Joy Behar then asked why Williams would need to change the diapers of a baby that wasn’t hers, to which Williams responded, “I don’t know, Joy. It’s a joke. If we don’t laugh, then we’ll cry.”
Williams had plenty of straight talk about the dissolution of her 25-year relationship, too, though. Williams was careful to point out she’ll never speak ill of her son’s father, asking what it would say about her if she did so after choosing to be with him for a quarter of a century.
She addressed entering sober living, calling it “a place to go where you can really plot on the next part of your life.”
“It’s been a very, very difficult time,” she said. Still, her time being “plot-tative” in sober living turned out for the best.
“I’m going into Season 11,” the host said, “and he’s changing Pampers.”

Alyssa Milano The actress appeared on Williams' show and talked about how she's become a breast feeding advocate after posting pictures of herself breastfeeding her own kids.

Whitney Houston Williams had a phone interview (if you even want to call it that) with the late Whitney Houston, and it didn't go well, to put it mildly.

Caitlyn Jenner Wendy Williams called out the transitioning star (at the time still known as Bruce) for wearing nail polish.
"He at least waited for his kids to grow up, so he doesn’t have to go to PTA meetings with a shaved Adam’s apple, and a blowout, and pink nails, and a cigarette," said the talk show host.
GLAAD was definitely not happy about her comments.
She posted a video on social media and captioned it "Don't come for us unless we call for you" and tagged Williams in the post.
