Williams’ ex-husband Kevin Hunter, 50, told the outlet last July that “Debmar would not support Wendy’s recovery efforts with the family,” because “they would not sign anything that would have helped her recovery efforts.”

Hunter told the outlet about a meeting between company representatives and Williams’ relatives where they discussed her struggles with drinking.

“They were in a meeting with her entire family, including her now-deceased mother, and wouldn’t agree with the recovery efforts that would also have helped Wendy get well and live and sober up,” Hunter said. “They basically said, ‘If you don’t stop drinking, you’ll lose the show.’

An insider told the outlet in August that “it really isn’t right” for Williams, who last month said she was married to an NYPD agent.

“It’s not the same Wendy…she’s gone downhill like crazy and her Florida family is very concerned about her,” a source told Page Six in August.
