In her Lifetime biopic, Williams’ relationship with Eric B. is explored. Much of their relationship centered around sex, which she says he demanded and without protection. She spoke of their intimate life on her radio show in 1999 as well.

Not using protection would come back to haunt Williams in an unimaginable way. In the film, Williams breaks things off with Eric B. after he ruins her credit when she allowed him to use it for a purchase.
Despite breaking things off, Williams discovers she’s pregnant. The film shoots to her sitting in a clinic. Williams says she did not tell anyone of the pregnancy, not even Eric B. She also reveals she went to have the procedure done to terminate the pregnancy alone.
Williams later was remorseful about terminating the pregnancy as she had a desire to become a mother later in life when she married her now ex-husband, Kevin Hunter. Williams suffered two miscarriages, both during the fifth month. The second pregnancy resulted in her actually giving birth to a baby girl who turned out to be stillborn.
Thankfully, she became pregnant again with her son, Kevin Jr., who was born in 2000. He’s her only living child whom she considers to be her biggest blessing.
Wendy Williams: The Movie airs on Lifetime on Jan. 30 at 8 pm EST, followed by a riveting documentary.
