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."
