Wendy Williams' son with her estranged husband Kevin Hunter has been arrested early this morning after he punched his cheating father in the face, according to reports.   

Kevin Hunter Jr allegedly slugged Hunter in the nose in order to free himself from a headlock Hunter had put him in at a parking lot near their family home in Livingston, New Jersey, just after 12am on Wednesday morning, reported The Blast.

The 19-year-old was arrested for assault but Hunter said in a statement he would not be pressing charges. Kevin Jr was held for a short time before he was released from custody.

The fight allegedly kicked off over an argument about Hunter's fight with Wendy for  spousal support after she filed for divorce in April shortly after it was revealed Hunter's mistress Sharina Hudson had given birth to a little girl.

Before the bust up, Hunter reportedly accused his son of being 'brainwashed' by the TV show host, 54, as police confirmed they were investigating the 'incident'.

In a statement to TMZ, Hunter said: 'I love my son very much and I will not be pursuing this matter legally. Things are not always how they appear.'

A source told the outlet the father and son have been at odds over Hunter repeatedly telling Kevin Jr he needed to stop relying on Wendy for handouts and create his own success. 

The conversation was brought up again early Wednesday morning, leading to the fight, according to the source. 

However, a differing account claims the reason for the fight was actually started by an argument over Hunter's treatment of Wendy, prompting Hunter to say Kevin Jr had been 'brainwashed'. 

Wendy, who is living in with Kevin Jr in a new apartment in Manhattan, is said to have taken her son to the New Jersey home in order for him to pick something up.

The talk show host dropped off her son at home and was supposed to return to pick him back up sometime later. 

Hunter was apparently inside the home at the time, unknown to Kevin Jr. They then went to a store together and that's where the fight went down.  

It is unclear why Hunter was at the New Jersey home because Wendy had made him clear out last month, giving him a 48-hour notice to remove all of his belongings from the home.

Wendy not only served Hunter divorce papers, but fired him as her manager and as a producer on The Wendy Williams Show in the wake of the revelation Hunter's decade-long mistress Sharina Hudson had his baby. 

In 2017, Hudson had been at the center of a DailyMailTV expose revealing her ten-year affair with Hunter. 

Fast forward to December 2018, Wendy suspected the two were still carrying on and hired a private investigator to follow Hunter.  

After being told the secret affair was still very much alive, Wendy confronted Hunter demanding to know why he was still seeing the qualified massage therapist. 

During the heated clash, it's believed Williams fell and hit her shoulder on the ground, suffering a hairline fracture.

Devastated, Williams quickly plunged into a depression while recovering from the injury and began drinking heavily and popping pills.

Instead of returning to her show in the new year, Williams flew to Delray Beach, Florida, where she checked into a luxury detox and rehab facility.

She then returned to New York where she entered a sober living house in Queens, which was exclusively revealed by DailyMailTV in March.

But she suffered a relapse and went on a booze bender after learning Hudson had given birth to Hunter's child. 

The TV host was found drunk and was taken to the hospital to be given a IV bag of fluids.

The two were shacked up in New Jersey and were seen going out to dinner and wearing designer gear.  

That was the tipping point for Wendy and she served Hunter divorce papers at the TV studio in midtown.

And this month, Wendy finally ripped into Hudson, saying: 'There are a lot of women with no respect for a marriage.

'For you lonely girls who can't keep your hands off other people's men, there is a hot place in hell for you!' Williams added, but never mentioning Hudson, 36, by name. 

It was the first time Williams ever directly spoken about her husband and mistress' relationship.
