Jayson Williams' Wife Wants D from Jay

Posted Feb 13th 2009 6:00PM by TMZ Staff

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.

46. I don't feel sorry for her. She knew he was crazy when he killed the chauffer for sport. He should have been locked up years ago.

47. JW is nothing but a hoop shooter that enjoys killing living things,the limo driver was named Gus He was an amazing person This is wll documented in the media, he was my best friend.Tanya you must be a bad judge of character. The old adage, money talks and b.s walks must be true i hope to see JW broke and in a 12x8 prison cell it is amazing you can really get away with murder if you are rich.Gus helped many people turn ther live's around. Since this is such a high profie case,because JW CAN SHOOT A BASKETBALL the media should never forget the victum.he was much more then a hired limo driver!!!!

52. When they get tired.........I say she stayed through it all so what his happened that she finally want to leave now? And that's fine but what's the reason for telling all? Credit card limits dropped? Bank account limit low? Show his "true" character so she can be sure she "get it all" or what's left. Good for him though. I bet she's a nice piece of eye candy. Should have gotten a real woman in the first place. I can promise you she would have had him inline before she married him or she never would have despite the money and good looks. Real women don't play.

54. Since JW no longer has an income,she's getting out now while there's a little left to be gotten,can't blame her for that,but flip the script,she knew he had issues for a long time.After B ball,he has had limited income rescources,plus legal issues thats draining his finances.So now emotions are running the game,some couples work it,out some don't,it's their lives and their mess to deal with,too bad it became a public joke for the both of them.
