Female radio shock jock, Wendy Williams, has been accused by her employee of aiding her husband in sexual harassment.
According to documents obtained by TMZ.com, WBLS 107.5 talent booker, Nicole Spence, filed a formal complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Monday (March 14) where she alleged that Williams' husband and manager, 33-year-old Kevin Hunter, harassed her on a daily basis, propositioning her for sex on numerous occasions.
"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---' me," Spence said in the complaint.
Spence said that she was subjected to an ongoing hostile work environment due to her gender. But when she complained, she was stripped of her duties.
She also alleges that Williams offered to take her shopping, so she could dress "like a sexy little bitch" as her husband demanded. Spence also added that Williams has forced a subordinate to have sex with her to keep his job.
Spence also noted that Hunter often physically abused Williams at the workplace, and she feared for her own safety while working there.
"I also feared Mr. Hunter because he repeatedly physically assaulted Ms. Williams at or near the WBLS studio," Spence says in the complaint. "In one instance, Mr. Hunter stormed into the studio, demanded that other employees leave and openly physically abused Ms. Williams, pinning her against the wall with his hand around her neck, choking her while repeatedly pounding his fist into the wall directly by her head."
In response to Spence's complaint, Williams told the New York Post Monday, "Her allegations are totally false. This bitch is out of her mind."
Hunter added the allegations are "so far from the truth. It's insane."
TMZ spoke to Spence's lawyer, Kate Webber, who says that she intends to file a lawsuit in court, after the EEOC reviews the case.
Spence is currently employed at WBLS. The station has yet to comment.
