Wendy Williams had "no idea" her ex-husband Kevin Hunter was planning to file a $321m lawsuit over her guardianship, Entertainment News
Wendy Williams had "no idea" her "money-grubber" ex-husband Kevin Hunter was planning to file a US$250 million (S$321 million) lawsuit over her guardianship. Kevin Hunter, who was married to presenter, Wendy Williams from 1999 until 2020 filed a lawsuit on Tuesday (June 17) demanding a jury trial and naming 48 defendants who he claims have violated Wendy's constitutional rights by facilitating a guardianship order which came into force in 2022 — but Wendy has insisted she's not involved with the legal challenge. She told TMZ: "[I had] no idea [he was filing the suit]. Nor do I want him to be a part of my life like that, no. Because I'm divorced forever... "He's a money-grubber; he's always been that way. It's good to know that he's doing such evil things — again. He won't win." Amongst those named in the legal papers are Wendy's legal guardian Sabrina Morrissey, the judge presiding over her guardianship Lisa Sokoloff, Wells Fargo, her assisted living facility and several lawyers. The complaint states: "Guardianship is a civil death. In New York, more than 28,000 adults, including Williams), are being abused, neglected, and defrauded under the care of court-appointed guardians." The Wendy Williams Show host was placed under legal guardianship in 2022 before it was revealed the following year that she had been diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. LaShawn Thomas, the attorney who filed the lawsuit, acknowledged that Wendy is "not legally aware of all the evidence that supports our claims that she should not be forced to suffer from this guardianship." The statement to People read: "I plan on laying out sufficient evidence to support our claims and ensure that her rights are vindicated, and she is made whole financially." Hunter's lawsuit is not looking for an end to the former broadcaster's guardianship but his requests include a "new impartial guardian", the unsealing of her case's files, her release from "involuntary confinement", a full forensic accounting and US$250 million in relief for financial loss, repetitional damage, emotional distress, legal costs and the deprivation of Wendy's liberty. Kevin has been named as a co-plaintiff in the case and wants to be appointed as Williams' "next friend" — a party who can legally act "on behalf of an individual unable to assert their own rights and when no guardian is acting in their best interests".

Tariffs are pushing remodeling costs up. Here are some ways to save money.
How tariffs are reshaping the cost of remodeling this summer Tariffs are pushing up the cost of materials that are frequently used in home renovation projects, leading some homeowners to reconsider fixing up their residences. Suppliers of materials, including lumber, steel and aluminum, have already hiked prices for builders. Sixty percent of homebuilders say suppliers have either already raised prices or intend to, according to data from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and Wells Fargo's April 2025 Housing Market Index. They attribute the price hikes to the Trump administration's sweeping levies on the U.S.'s trade partners. Extra costs for materials can add up quickly, leading to a typical price increase of around $10,000 per home renovation project, according to the NAHB. Pre-ordering materials, before prices rise, is one way to save on roofing supplies such as shingles, according to Connecticut-based builder David Perotti, founder of Fine Home Contracting. He told CBS News that he saved a "few thousand dollars" on behalf of a client by ordering the roofing shingles early. Most materials that are used to build homes in the U.S. are imported, Perotti explained. For example, one-quarter of the country's available lumber supply comes from Canada, and could be subject to a 15% levy. Steel and aluminum are integral to building roofs, homes' plumbing systems, electrical equipment and HVAC systems. Tariffs of 50% on steel and aluminum took effect earlier this month and can apply to everything from coil roofing nails to metal flashing used to prevent leaks. Perotti's advice to homeowners looking for a refresh is to press pause on purchasing new appliances, and opt for a fresh paint job, which can go a long way toward making a home look new again. "If you were to do one project, painting is usually really nice to freshen things up," he told CBS News. Perotti is also urging his clients to budget up to an additional 30% for extra, tariff-related costs on materials, particularly those that can go into remodeling bathrooms. Another tip is to work with materials suppliers to lock in prices when possible, even before materials become available. As far as repairs go, Perotti's advice is to prioritize fixing exterior damage, which can quickly lead to a home's degradation and cause more problems.

‘Sell TSLA Stock Now,' Says Wells Fargo
Tesla (TSLA) stock lost 3.9% yesterday, after Wells Fargo issued a warning saying that the EV maker's second-quarter performance may be weaker than expected, with free cash flow (FCF) turning negative for the first time since 2018. Analyst Colin Langan stated that vehicle deliveries are not showing signs of recovering and are, in fact, tracking flat compared to an already weak Q1. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Langan added that in order to meet the Wall Street estimate of 411,000 units for the quarter, Tesla would need to increase June deliveries by more than 50% compared to May. As a result, the firm now projects that Tesla's full-year deliveries will fall by 21% from last year. Tesla Faces Fundamental Challenges Ahead Notably, Wells Fargo expects the lower delivery volume to hurt Tesla's profit margins. Langan also pointed out that reduced income from Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) credits could be another drag on earnings. When considering these factors alongside Tesla's planned capital expenditures exceeding $11 billion and potential issues with working capital, Wells Fargo now estimates FCF burn of $1.9 billion for 2025. Moreover, the firm is worried about the lack of news regarding Tesla's long-awaited affordable EV, which many bulls believe is key to increasing sales in the second half. Additionally, Tesla's robotaxi plans are not impressing Wells Fargo, as the analyst notes that Full Self-Driving tests in Austin appear limited, slow, and closely monitored, which raises the risk that any accident during a rushed rollout could cause major setbacks. Owing to the above-mentioned reasons, Langan has a Sell rating on TSLA stock with a $120 price target, which implies 62.1% downside potential from current levels. What Is the Prediction for TSLA Stock? On TipRanks, TSLA stock has a Hold consensus rating based on 14 Buys, 12 Holds, and nine Sell ratings. Furthermore, the average Tesla price target of $286.14 implies 9.6% downside potential from current levels. Year-to-date, TSLA stock has lost 21.7%. See more TSLA analyst ratings
