Who is Wendy Williams’ first husband Bert Girigorie?
Wendy Williams was married to Bert Girigorie before her marriage to her ex-husband Kevin Hunter.
Girigorie met Williams while working at a New York City radio station.
The couple dated for two years before tying the knot in 1994.
According to Girigorie’s Twitter profile, he is a “sales & marketing professional” based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
He lists his website as G2 Marketing Inc., a digital marketing agency for professionals.
Why did Wendy and Bert get divorced?
In a 2019 interview with RadarOnline, Girigorie said he was “at a loss” over the troubled host’s bizarre behavior.
He said he was unaware of her alleged drug use but came to realize after they split that the addiction could have explained her behavior.
Girigorie said things started going strange right from the beginning of their marriage.
He said, “It was very bizarre. She just turned into a different person. I don’t know what was going on.”
“I didn’t understand a lot of things that she did. I didn’t understand what her motivations were.”
Girigorie claimed the TV host’s antics got out of hand until they “had a big blowout, and the relationship became very strained”.
The marriage was a failure from the beginning, Girigorie suggested, adding they got off to a bad start shortly after exchanging vows.
He described Williams’ bizarre behavior as flippant and said it could have been related to her alleged drug use.
Girigorie said about Williams, “I know she said she was doing drugs but she kept that away from me,”
“I assumed that she was but I didn’t know anything about it.”
“I know I was seeing strange behavior and behavior that I didn’t understand when I look back at it.”
They separated after just five months after their marriage and officially divorced in 1995.
