The staffer alleges that once, while Williams was living in the sober house in Queens, the host ordered an Uber and went home to Livingston, NJ. She was missing for about an hour before anyone realized where she was, the staffer said.
Williams, who reportedly suffers from Graves’ disease as well as lymphedema, was seen being pushed around in a wheelchair last November.Hunter has not publicly acknowledged engaging in affairs or fathering a child outside of wedlock, but broke his silence in a statement after Williams’ divorce filing, admitting he was “not proud” of his actions.
