Marianne Williamson faces allegations of abusive behavior towards campaign staff.

Former staffers of Marianne Williamson's second campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination have accused her of verbal and emotional abuse, including "foaming, spitting, uncontrollable rage." Williamson, a self-help author, has denied the allegations, calling them "slanderous" and "categorically untrue." Staffers said they were required to sign non-disclosure agreements and that Williamson's behavior went beyond any criticism that unfairly targets women. Williamson launched her second campaign earlier this month, saying that while she did not expect to win, she was seeking to challenge the "system."
