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".

Forget Likes, Finance Cares about Results, Says GroundTruth In First Brand Campaign
Punchy campaign comes from the marketer who made Wendy's famous for social clapbacks NEW YORK, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a world where marketers are too often cornered into presenting meaningless vanity metrics to skeptical finance teams, GroundTruth is shifting the narrative. With the help of Austin-based creative agency Bandolier Media, GroundTruth has launched "Real Business Results," a sharp, no-nonsense campaign that ditches likes, shares, and impressions in favor of what actually matters like foot traffic, sales lift, and market share. GroundTruth's platform is built around real-world consumer behavior, using location and purchase data to deliver media campaigns that connect digital ads to real business outcomes. But even with those capabilities, the company saw a disconnect between what marketers often measure and what drives boardroom decisions. That's where Bandolier Media came in. Comedy With a Finance POV To bring this concept to life, Bandolier cast actor Oscar Nuñez, best known for his role as the sardonic accountant on The Office, as the face of reason in a series of humorous spots. The campaign's five creative executions—"Likes," "Equation," "Impressions," "Budget," and "Like-Liker"—feature Nuñez in mock Zoom calls or meetings where he hilariously dismantles the flawed logic of marketing teams still clinging to vanity metrics. "Oscar delivers the message marketers need to hear: CFOs don't care about likes," said Brandon Rhoten, CMO at GroundTruth. "In billions of dollars of media spend, I've never had a finance team ask about engagement. They want results tied to revenue, not retweets." Rhoten rose to prominence as the architect of Wendy's trailblazing digital and social strategy, where he transformed the fast-food chain into a cultural icon known for its razor-sharp social clapbacks and fearless online voice. But even for a marketer fluent in social, Rhoten's message now is crystal clear: likes don't pay the bills, results do. Creative Built for Conversion, Not Clapbacks The campaign runs across LinkedIn, YouTube, digital out-of-home, streaming audio, and programmatic mobile, targeting agency and brand-side media buyers who are increasingly under pressure to tie spend to impact. It's B2B marketing that dials up the relatability while driving home a serious point: if your media doesn't move the needle, it's just noise. "Too much of B2B creative still assumes humor or emotion is off-limits. Not here," said George Ellis, Creative Director at Bandolier. "We built this campaign to feel like something marketers would actually want to watch, and, most importantly, act on." A Brand Platform That Lives Its Promise GroundTruth isn't just selling smarter media with built-in measurement, they're living it. With observed real-world behavior as their core differentiator, this campaign is a meta-demonstration of their value proposition. Every spot is a rejection of marketing vanity metrics, and a push toward media accountability. The launch marks another milestone for Bandolier, named one of Ad Age's Small Agencies of the Year for three consecutive years. Their work spans major national brands and homegrown DTC efforts alike, always with a sharp creative edge and a refusal to settle for bland. About GroundTruthGroundTruth is an advertising platform that drives in-store visits and other real business results. Using observed real-world consumer behavior, including location and purchase data, GroundTruth creates targeted advertising campaigns across all screens for advertisers. GroundTruth then measures how consumers respond to the campaigns, including if they physically show up to a store location or website, to understand the real business results generated by a brand's advertising.

Former Rogerstone cricketer receives British Empire Medal
Derek joined the club in 1952 and for the last 70 years has been a driving force for the club's success. He has moved through the ranks as player, to fixture secretary then to Chairman - a position he's held since 2001 when a dear friend of his fell ill and could no longer continue. He has dedicated his retirement to serving cricket and preserving the history of his local community. He has supplied the Museum of Welsh Cricket in Sophia Gardens with an extensive collection of the club's history and regularly finds himself involved with Sporting Memories, a charity organization that helps older people to reminisce and reconnect through the power of sport. While the sport itself may not have changed in the last 70 years, the community surrounding it has but Derek still finds himself devoted to growing the squad he came to know and love all those years ago. Despite being well into his eighties, Derek is still involved in the coaching of the Club's junior division, all whilst ensuring that the history and achievements of the Club have been preserved and recorded. Derek says his nomination was put forward by the local council, rather than the cricket authority. His active involvement with all things Rogerstone is the likely cause for this, with his commitment to the community and the preservation of the town's heritage and history being among one of the reasons he is so well known by locals. Derek said: 'I'm just emotional and very pleased.' 'I've been involved with Rogerstone Welfare since 1952, and I really enjoy it to this day. It keeps me active – I can just about handle coaching the Dynamos children at my age of 86 – and it keeps me mentally active as well. I'm going to keep going for as long as I'm able to! 'I would not have been able to do this without the help of my very tolerant wife Wendy' This accolade is the latest in a long list of achievements that include a Rogerstone Community Award, an OSCA award for Proactive Leadership and a Safeguarding Award from Cricket Wales.

Wendy's teams up with Takis for new limited-time spicy meal. Here's what's in it
Wendy's is spicing up its menu with two new items — but they won't stick around. Fans can get their first bites of the new Takis Fuego Meal starting Friday, June 20, at participating Wendy's restaurants nationwide, according to the Ohio-based burger chain. Wendy's teamed up with the Takis snack brand to launch the limited-time meal, which includes the new Takis Fuego chicken sandwich and Fuego fries. Made with a Wendy's spicy chicken filet, the sandwich features crushed Takis Fuego chips, chili lime sauce, a creamy corn spread and cheese sauce, a product description says. Customers can pair it with a side of Fuego fries tossed in a chili lime blend. The meal also comes with a 1-ounce bag of Takis Fuego corn chips, while supplies last, the restaurant said. Pricing information wasn't immediately available. Wendy's teased a collaboration with the Takis snack brand in March, along with plans to grow its chicken offerings. The restaurant serves a range of chicken options from classic nuggets to a crispy chicken BLT, according to its menu. Wendy's new Takis Fuego items will be available as a meal or a la carte for a limited time, though the restaurant didn't say for how long. Find your nearest Wendy's here.
