New Evidence in the Wendy Williams Sex Case

Wendy Williams may be best known for hosting the highest rated weekday syndicated radio broadcast yet, pissing off Tupac Shakur and speaking her mind on day-to-day celebrity gossip, however the outspoken radio host may soon have a lot more to worry about than annoyed celebrities taking abusive swipes at her in their song lyrics. New York DJ and host of "The Wendy Williams Experience" is currently in very hot water over a series of sexual harassment claims made by Nicole Spence, who used to work as a talent booker for Williams' show and who filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint last month against WBLS radio station, Williams herself and her husband/manager, Kevin Hunter.

Spence claims that Kevin Hunter frequently harassed her with sexual innuendo and even assaulted his own wife, who allegedly witnessed her husband's inappropriate behavior. Hunter "repeatedly sexually propositioned me, telling me over and over that he wanted to f*** me" reads Nicole Spence's statement. "[H]is sexual propositions escalated into the obsessive. He constantly told [...] that he had been dreaming about sleeping with me.
Mr. Hunter said I needed 'a real man in my life to mold me into the woman that I am supposed to be,' proclaiming, of course, that he was that man," Spence also claims, adding that Hunter "repeatedly physically assaulted Ms. Williams," which made her think she might be in danger as well.

Wendy Williams' reaction to Spence's allegations was to ostracize the young talent booker and then have her thrown out of the studio on air. Ever since the filing, Spence's lawyers say that "others have come forward [...] to support Nicole's claims. They say he [Hunter] often called women b****es and used alcohol, and they describe his violent outbursts against Ms. Williams". Despite some claims that sexual innuendo and mock-sexual advances might be part of the customary repertoire of shock-jock shows, Nicole Spence's attorneys say that this can't be held as an excuse for the way Williams and her husband treated Spence. "[W]hatever the content of her show is, the workplace can't be an extension of the radio program," adds one of the claimant's lawyers.
