Wendy Williams estranged husband and manager, Kevin Hunter, is finally coming clean about ongoing infidelity rumors that have destroyed his marriage to the media mogul.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Hunter gives an honest confession about the role he played in the destruction of his marriage. “I am not proud of my recent actions and take full accountability and apologize to my wife, my family and her amazing fans,” Hunter said. “I am going through a time of self-reflection and am trying to right some wrongs.”

Hunter also alludes that Wendy isn’t the only one in the relationship struggling with addiction. While promising to seek help himself, he also vows to be in his wife’s corner no matter what becomes of their relationship.

“Twenty-eight years ago I met an amazing woman: Wendy Williams,” he continues. “At the time, I didn’t realize that she would not only become my wife, but would also change the face of entertainment and the world. I have dedicated most of our lives to the business empire that is Wendy Williams Hunter, a person that I truly love and respect unconditionally. No matter what the outcome is or what the future holds, we are still The Hunter Family and I will continue to work with and fully support my wife in this business and through any and all obstacles she may face living her new life of sobriety, while I also work on mine.”

Hunter concludes by asking the public to “please give me and my family privacy as we heal.”

Last week, it was announced that Wendy filed for divorce from Hunter following the news that he had fathered a child with alleged mistress Sharina Hudson. An inside source told PEOPLE that Hunter confessed to the affair and child once Wendy confronted him with evidence collected by her private investigator.

Yesterday, Wendy seemed to confirm the split by telling her show audience that she plans to focus on herself and their 19-year-old son, Kevin Jr., moving forward. “I have to tell you, you know, I’ve been dealing with issues with addiction, alcoholism, and I have a whole new life that I planned for myself and my son,” she said. “Believe me you, when you lay in a room with no TV and four gray walls all day…this is my life in the sober house, it’s one of the best things, honestly, that could have ever happened to me.”

Wendy has not yet responded to Kevin’s statement.
