Wendy Williams’ Sexual Harassment Troubles Mount

Several women have come forward to complain that they were sexually harassed by radio shock jock Wendy Williams’ husband, adding to the original claims made by her former show booker. Here’s the scoop:

“More WBLS staffers have come forward to corroborate the sexual harassment claims made by a young female talent booker for the shock jock.

Nicole Spence, who wrangled such guests as Janet Jackson, Russell Simmons and Flo Rida for Williams’ show, filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint last month against WBLS, Williams and her husband and manager, Kevin Hunter.

While Hunter doesn’t work for the radio station, he was often in the studio. Despite the presence of his wife, Hunter ‘repeatedly sexually propositioned me,’ Spence claims in the filing, ‘telling me over and over that he wanted to f- me’

Others have come forward since we filed the complaint to support Nicole’s claims,” said Karen Webber, a partner in the prestigious law firm Thompson, Wigdor & Gilly, which is preparing a federal lawsuit on Spence’s behalf. ‘They say he often called women bitches and used alcohol, and they describe his violent outbursts against Ms. Williams.’ Other women say they were victimized as well.”

Wendy Williams has not publicly addressed the suit since Ms. Spence was removed from the show, but Nicole Spence is still listed as the shock jock’s acting publicist and talent booker on her website.
