British DJ Tim Westwood Accused Of Sexual Misconduct, All Seven Alleged Victims Are Black Women

British DJ Tim Westwood is facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct by women who claim he abused his position within the music industry to take advantage of them.

The incidents in questions range between 1992 and 2017. The 64-year-old has been accused of initiating unwanted sex by three women, while four others allege he groped their butts and/or breasts at events. All seven women who have come forward with allegations against Tim Westwood are black. Two women– who were aspiring to work in the industry–say they agreed to come to London to meet him to discuss music. They accuse the DJ of driving them to an apartment and initiating unwanted and unexpected sex. One was only 19 at the time, while Westwood was 53.

Three other women aged 17, 19 and 20 at the time, describe a pattern of alleged ‘opportunist and predatory sexual behavior’ after agreeing to meet with Westwood. One of the seven women described how she ‘froze’ and felt ‘very intimated’ after Westwood allegedly said, ‘lemme grab some ass’, before putting his hand down the back of her shorts after meeting the girl at a club in 2009.

The popular DJ has denied all claims. A spokesperson for Westwood told sources,

“Tim Westwood strongly denies all allegations of inappropriate behavior… In a career that has spanned 40 years, there have never been any complaints made against him officially or unofficially. Tim Westwood strongly rejects all allegations of wrongdoing.”

One woman using the alias Tamara, had hopes that Tim Westwood could help her catch a break in the music industry. She explained how Westwood was very powerful in the industry.

“Within the recording industry and the black community, despite him being a white man, he had absolute power. He could make or break your career.”

Tamera claimed the encounter took place after giving Westwood a demo of her music while she was a member of an R&B group. However, once they arrived at a London apartment, she claims Tim Westwood, without saying anything, pulled down her pants and underwear before performing oral sex on her.

Tim Westwood was an early champion of hip-hop in the UK and hosted the first nationally-broadcast rap show on UK radio from 1994. He began his career with local radio before joining Capital Radio in London and was later given his own show by BBC Radio 1. Westwood is considered among the most influential rap and hip hop DJ in Europe and is a winner of numerous radio industry awards, including best radio DJ in the Music of Black Origin ceremony.

He is known for giving a platform to new artists, as well as getting some of the biggest rappers in the world onto his programs such as Lil Wayne, Eminem and Cardi B.
