Kevin Hunteris not happy with how things played out for his ex-wife,Wendy Williams.
BeforeThe Wendy Williams Showaired its final episode on Friday, Hunter expressed his disdain for its production company, Debmar-Mercury, choosing to conclude the series without Williams, 57, present.
“I feel like it is a travesty on the part of Debmar-Mercury to have such an unceremonious departure without Wendy being involved,” he toldEntertainment Tonight.
“It is the first time in the history of talk shows for this to be done, especially for a show that has been on for more than 10 years,” he added. “There is absolutely no reason why a bigger celebration that involved Wendy couldn’t happen.”

Williams previously revealedher plans to returnto host the series. But the networkpulled the plug on renewingthe show for additional seasons, ending it after 13 seasons.
With this in mind, Hunter feels Williams' hard work is going underappreciated.
“I know the blood, sweat and tears that went into making the show such a success,” he toldET. “I am not happy with the way the show is going out on a personal level and I am truly sorry that the show’s fans have to see it go down the way that it is.”
This isn’t the first time Hunter spoke out against the production company. Huntersued Debmar-Mercury in March, alleging wrongful termination from the show after his divorce from Williams.
Debmar-Mercury has not commented publicly on the lawsuit. PEOPLE has reached out to the production company for comment.
