Jayson Williams' Wife Wants D from Jay

Jayson WilliamsThe wife of former NBA star Jayson Williams is throwing everything plus the kitchen sink in a new divorce filing -- a sink in which he allegedly urinated in.

Tanya Young Williams claims she's the victim of "cruel and inhumane treatment" and that it's unsafe to live with her hubby anymore.

In divorce papers filed today in New York City and obtained by TMZ, Tanya claims, among other things, Jayson faked suicide and stomach cancer, and told her he was "going down on white girls" (she's Black).

Tanya also claims she found cocaine and condoms in Jayson's drawer. She says he threatened to kill her and once threatened to kill her. She also says Williams repeatedly refilled prescriptions for Cialis, even though they had limited sexual interaction.

And she claims he peed in the sink.

Tanya wants a cut of Jayson's assets, their New York home, sole custody of their two kids, spousal support and other stuff.

Williams is awaiting retrial for allegedly shooting his chauffeur to death.

A rep for Williams could not be reached for comment.

31. THANK YOU..ilovetheshowmadmen!!! I watched that azzhole's first trial and his barracuda wife was trying to convince everyone that Jayson was just playing around when he shot and killed that poor man. Yeah, NOT. He insulted and bullied the guy all night long and then was showing off for his "boyz" by bullying the old guy again after drinking all night when he shot him.

She not only did his b1tch work, she got pregnant after the murder just to show solidarity in their marriage!!! She can rot, and hopefully so will he!! Maybe she'll get a conscience and tell the police and DA what she knows about the willful murder of the chauffeur and Jayson will go to prison where he belongs?

33. If she wanted to cut off his assets, she should've done the Lorena Bobbit thing. Seriously, 95% of the pro athletes I used to know were divorced. Usually now, the wives stay...because they like the lifestyle. Right Mary?

34. There are times when being anonymous is great - times like this, when a divorce petition of this sort should be private.

35. It's "Cruel and Inhuman Treatment" without the E. In NY, there is no "irreconcilable differences" so, that's one of the more frequent grounds chosen, but it's "inhuman", not "inhumane"

37. "She says he threatened to kill her and once threatened to kill her."

TMZ you need to step up your editing game. These types of errors are elementary!

40. Number 27 I think you are the kind of emotionally unstable woman he is talking about. No offense but I doubt he would want your crazy behind near him.

Just saying...

42. "19. To #14 & 15 - The word "Black" in the context it's used in the article is capitalized, believe it or not, as it is considered a proper noun. Whereas, the word "white" is not. I can't remember the grammar rule for why this is, but it is. Posted at 7:39PM on Feb 13th 2009 by keepinitrealincali"Where on earth did you get that? I am an editor by trade with a graduate degree in English and I can tell you that everything you just said is incorrect. In both instances the first letters of the words should have been lowercase. You can't remember the grammar rule because it doesn't exist. You really shouldn't comment on issues you know nothing about.

44. I knew I was right. I just wasn't going to argue with an illiterate moron. Thanks Joan.

45. I can't believe this pathetic piece of scum has been allowed to be free all these years, without being convicted for the shotgun slaying in his house over 7 years ago. This piece of crap and his high priced lawyers reminds me of what is happening to the other piece of crap by the name of Phil Spector. Any regular Joe would have been convicted for the more than obvious crime of drunken, over inflated ego, sick in the head from the fame, act of sheer reckless stupidity. I hope his soon to be ex wife drains him as dry as possible. He needs to be in prison for at least a few decades for the reckless murder, as well as Phil Spector.
