She vaguely addressed her marital woes on her show earlier this year, cryptically telling viewers after she returned from a two-month hiatus that her wedding ring would always stay on her hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still very much in love with my husband,\u201d she said. \u201cDon\u2019t ask me about mine.\u201d Pointing to her wedding ring, Williams added, \u201cIt ain\u2019t going anywhere. Not in this lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, her ring apparently did go somewhere. On March 25, upon leaving the sober living facility where she has been staying after receiving help for addiction in Florida (though she previously told viewers she was seeking treatment for her Graves\u2019 disease), the morning show host was spotted without her flashy jewelry. She appeared to put it back on to tape her show later that day, but an insider had told us it wasn\u2019t her real ring.<\/p>\n<p>Infidelity wasn\u2019t the only rumor to swirl about Williams and Hunter\u2019s marriage. Sources previously told The Post that Hunter\u2019s allegedly abusive behavior ultimately led to the unraveling that prompted Williams to relapse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe would hide in the bathroom and tell me to knock on the door when he left the office so she wouldn\u2019t have to see him,\u201d an intern from Williams\u2019 former radio show told The Post, adding that it was common for Hunter to pull Williams into a private room and for staff to hear them fighting.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019d hear slaps or some type of tussling going on,\u201d said the intern.<\/p>\n<p>Williams has been open about her past addiction to cocaine and crack.<\/p>\n<p>Friends of Williams have publicly expressed concern for her and her poor health as she remained in her seemingly tumultuous marriage, with longtime pal Paul Porter previously telling The Post that divorce was her only hope.<\/p>\n<p>Porter, who said he\u2019s talked with Williams a hundred times in the past two years, said Williams\u2019 husband, the executive producer of \u201cThe Wendy Williams Show,\u201d is a \u201ccontrol freak\u201d and \u201ca terror.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said they went to couples counseling, but \u201cfor some reason, she can\u2019t break away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former friend Charlamagne Tha God expressed concern on his radio show \u201cThe Breakfast Club,\u201d saying Hunter was \u201csucking the life out of\u201d Williams.<\/p>\n<p>He also admitted he introduced Hunter to his alleged mistress 10 years ago, but it was solely for business purposes.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cJust because I introduce you to someone doesn\u2019t mean 10 years later you need to be in a picture with them showing all your teeth and her throwing up duck lips and a peace sign,\u201d Charlamagne said.<\/p>\n<p>Williams and Hunter met at a skating rink in 1994, tied the knot three years later and welcomed their son, 19-year-old Kevin Hunter Jr., in 2000.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After persistent cheating rumors and breakup buzz, it\u2019s over for&nbsp;Wendy Williams&nbsp;and&nbsp;Kevin Hunter.
