Wendy Williams: Husband's Sex Scandal Is A Bombshell

Posted Mar 25th 2008 6:06PM by Karu F. Daniels

What in the Holy Halle Berry is going on with Wendy Williams?

The nationally-syndicated radio jock and best-selling author is in the midst of a scandalous sexual harassment case that is causing shock-waves throughout the media.

According to The New York Post, Wendy Williams talent booker/administrative assistant and part-time publicist, Nicole Spence, filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on March 24 claiming that the top-rated WBLS-FM personality and her husband/manager, Kevin Hunter, tried to demand sex from her on repeated occasions.Spence, 27, alleges in the complaint that Hunter, 33, harassed her for sex more than a dozen times and created a hostile work environment by repeatedly abusing Williams, 43.

"Mr. Hunter repeatedly sexually propositioned me at work in the most crude and vulgar ways, telling me over and over that he wanted to 'f*ck' me," Spence charges.

The complaint has been filed against Williams as well as Inner City Broadcasting, the radio station owner, while Hunter, who works as his wife's manager, is named in the papers as an alleged perpetrator of the harassment.

The couple, who has a child together, both reportedly deny the claims.



Spence appeared on Essence magazine's groundbreaking digital dating series,'30 Dates in 30 Days,' where she went on a bunch of different dates with several bachelors.

"She's trying to find a man -- apparently just not one who is married to Wendy Williams," TMZ.com quipped.

The popular website obtained legal documents, where Spence noted that Williams did nothing to staunch the alleged abuse, and in fact "offered to take me shopping so I could dress 'like a sexy little bitch,' as Mr. Hunter demanded."

Wow wee.

"He told me that I was not cute but in fact was 'just Jamaican,'" Spence alleged in one of her 37 points made in the "charge of discrimination."

"It is clear that Ms. Williams, (the station's general manager) Mr. [Deon] Livingston, and others at WBLS are attempting to force me out of the Company in retaliation for my complaints," she added.

Williams, who has battled substance abuse and emotional abuse in the past and documented it all in her best-selling tomes 'Wendy Williams Got The Heat' and 'The Wendy Williams Experience,' is reportedly weathering this latest storm.

"Her allegations are totally false. This bitch is out of her mind," Williams said The New York Post.

Spence is still employed at WBLS-FM, the only black owned radio station in New York City.

A spokesperson for the station could not be reached by deadline.

1. Kevin will continue to dog Wendy, and she allows it. I am not surprised that Williams tried to get Spence to sleep with her man. From Wikipedia "During her time in Washington, D.C., Wendy Williams was addicted to cocaine, from which she recovered since. While in New York, Williams went through a divorce and several miscarriages before marrying Kevin Hunter in 1999; a year later, she gave birth to her first son, Kevin Hunter Jr.. During her pregnancy, Williams hired a private investigator, who found out that Hunter was cheating on Williams. Despite Hunter's alledged infidelity, Williams and Hunter later reconciled and remain married today." If her HUSBAND CHEATED on her while she was pregnant then he is not with her for any of the right reasons.

2. Wendy W. has spent most of her time, at least publicly anyways, degrading and humiliating others all in the name of business and publicity. The fact that the negative attention is now focused on her should be of no surprise to anyone.

Despite all that has been stated about her in this article and even those things she's said about herself, one of the main things that has always been in question is her gender...is she really a man or a woman?

If she's truly a man underneath it all it may explain the obnoxious and outrageous behavior of the man that married her in his effort to desperately connect sexually with a confirmed female. Though, of course, it wouldn't make him appear any more sane that he would seek to jump the broom w/someone frequently and most often referred to as 'The Gossip Tranny', now would it?

If Ms. Spence's complaint's are found to be undeniably true in the end, I hope Kevin Hunter and his wife Wendy are court ordered to compensate her for the hell she's gone through and then some. It would be the least they could do.

3. This is a case of the chickens coming home to roost.Wendy has always talked trash about everyone from A TO Z, ITS ABOUT TIME THAT SHE GETS HERS..

4. I BELIEVE EVERYTHING that Nicole Spence has alleged. She is an ambitious young woman and is often featured on the show for commentary. Obviously, Wendy holds her in high regard, and has even talked about how she invited Nicole to several holiday celebrations in her home...now we know why Nicole didn't show up for Thanksgiving or Christmas...I believe she is telling the truth because she would not risk it all over a lie and bad publicity (trust me, it is very hard to file a complaint with the EEOC at your current job and then subsequently sue your employer, which is where this case is going...)

5. Figures...

6. Oh well what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

7. I AM A BIG FAN AND ANYONE WHO HAS READ WENDY'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND LISTENS TO HER SHOW KNOWS THIS SOUNDS VERY BELIEVEABLE........I LOVE WENDY BUT THIS IS NO SHOCK TO ME.

JANE DOE at 10:01AM on Mar 27th 2008

8. Wendy often tells her listeners to "bail" when their significant other is caught out there with a
"jump-off".
Let's see if see takes her own advice.

9. Yo I understand she is a shock jock but yo she really needs to tone it down and is it just me or does her husband look like tiny lister from Friday.

10. I think this entire situation is a big mess! Wendy always speaks highly of Nicole on the air, so I can't imagine Nicole making this entire story up. I agree with most of you, this is no surprise to me. Karma is a heck of a thing. Wendy does give stern advice to her listeners when it comes to unfaithfulness, I can't wait to see what she does. Ms. Jones(Hot 97 DJ- NY) had alot to say earlier this week about this, the jokes were running like water! I hope Nicole gets some type of compensation for all she was putting up with.

11. You know this is completely a MESS! I think Wendy Williams is a entertaining person, however her advice to other are a bit harsh and insensitive. I don't recall her having a degree in psychology so she really shouldn't be giving advice but is in title to give her opinion. Now with her situation I hope she take some of her opinions and BAIL as she tells her listeners. I find it strange that she speaks so highly of Nicole and now Nicole is BITCH. WOW Nicole you did the right thing by filing a complaint, handle your business.

Marlo at 11:05AM on Mar 28th 2008

12. I believe Nicole. Over the past three years I have worked with Nicole in booking my clients on Wendy Williams Show and girl has been nothing short of professional.

After reading the papers Nicole filed with EEOC the timeline fits with several incidents of Nicole calling because Wendy wanted several of my clients on the show. Once arrangments had been made for my client to either call in or appear in studio, Nicole called to cancel because Wendy had suddenly changed her mind for reasons that didn't make a bit of sense.

13. Nicole's complaints are very true. Wendy's mistake was believing that the people who work with her are her friends. Nicole is right in filing the complaint but don't expect the Hunter's to admit that they are guilty in this mess. Nor will the flunkys who work with her go against her because they are all too afraid of losing their jobs. Apparently, Nicole who has everything to lose is willing to stand up to her abusers. Go Nicole!!!

Janice at 9:18PM on Mar 29th 2008

14. Wendy Williams is one ULGY Bi**h....Her husband don't even want to be seen in that picture with her. He look like he's disgusted with her. He only want her for her money and her fame. I hope Ms.Spence proves her case so Wendy can be publicly humiliated for calling her (Spence) a Bi**h. The nerve of her!! Her husband sexually harasses HER employee and that's how she reacts, when she know her husband is a cheater? I hope Wendy get just what she deserves. Her own foot in her mouth!

Br0nx M1ke at 10:17PM on Mar 29th 2008

15. I've never heard her show on the radio but saw the brief VH-1 show, and other TV and maganizine stories about her, I know who she is, what she does, and what makes her popular. Having said that, these allegations are not surprising, this sounds like something right up her alley it's just that the tables are turned, I'm not sure I feel sorry for her with all the hell she's caused other people, the lesson learned here is: "Be careful of the seeds you sow!"
