TheWendy WilliamsShowhostfiled for divorcefrom husband and longtime manager Kevin Hunter in April, shortly after heallegedly fathered a childwith his mistress — and following her announcement that she’d beenliving in a sober houseto cope with her pastaddiction to cocaine. And late Tuesday night, their 18-year-old son, Kevin Jr.,was arrestedafter allegedlygetting into a physical altercationwith his dad in West Orange, New Jersey.
Now, a source tells PEOPLE that the fight between father and son was about the divorce but had nothing to do with spousal support, as reported elsewhere. The source adds that Hunter, 46, believes Williams, 54, is poisoning Kevin Jr. against him and says they had a good relationship before the parents’ marriage fell apart.
“I love my son very much and I will not be pursuing this matter legally, “said in a statement toTMZ. “Things are not always how they appear.”
PEOPLE is out to reps for Williams and Hunter.
Kevin Jr. has been spending time with his mom since the arrest, joining Williams at the Sweets and Snacks Expo toannounce her partnershipwith SNAX-Sational Brands to provide backpacks for children in New York City homeless shelters. And on Thursday, mother and sonattended a galain Washington, D.C.

“I am working on my divorce pleasantly,” she said on the May 14 episode of her show . “I am a single woman, running around New York. I go out a lot, I’m a good time girl I like to have fun.”
“I don’t have a boyfriend, but I must admit I am rediscovering my love of men,” she added. “I do date and I date pretty often.”
Earlier in the month, she notablycriticized women who try to seduce married men.
“There are a lot of women with no respect for a marriage,” she said on-air “You know what I’m saying? A lot of women who know your man is married and will have the nerve to be right up under him, right under your nose.”
