The wife of white supremacist leader Richard Spencer has accused him of regularly physically and emotionally abusing her during their marriage, according to divorce filings. Nina Kouprianova alleges “being hit, being grabbed, being dragged around by her hair, being held down in a manner causing bruising, and being prevented from calling for help.” Additionally, the filings claim that Spencer’s racist public statements have made his family, including his two young children, the “targets of violence.” Spencer, who is credited with coining the term “alt-right,” has attracted violence following many of his speeches and was a featured speaker at the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017.
