More Trouble For Wendy Williams

So remember last month when Wendy Williams' talent booker Nicole Spence filed a sexual harassment suit against Wendy and her husband Kevin Hunter, claiming Kevin kept telling her he wanted to have sex with her and that he came to the radio station and beat Wendy up a few times? Well, more WBLS staffers have come forward to corroborate the claims...

"Others have come forward since we filed the complaint to support Nicole's claims," said Karen Webber, a partner in law firm Thompson, Wigdor & Gilly, which is preparing a federal lawsuit on Nicole's behalf. "They say he often called women b--- and used alcohol, and they describe his violent outbursts against Wendy Williams." Other women say they were victimized as well. Nicole, who often appeared live on the show, has been ostracized since the filing, Webber claims. As listeners know, Williams even went so far as to throw her out of the studio on the air, allegedly in retaliation for claiming that Wendy encouraged Kevin's harassment, "even offering to take me [Nicole] shopping, so I could dress 'like a sexy little b---h.' They've moved Nicole out of her workspace and taken her duties away, but she still shows up every day.

Williams and WBLS general manager Deon Levingston did not respond to requests for comment, and Hunter could not be reached.
