In a shocking turn of events, popular DJ Tim Westwood has been accused of severe allegations of sexual misconduct! These allegations were made by seven women who claimed that the DJ has been misusing his influential position in the music industry to take advantage of them. While three women have accused the DJ of acts of opportunistic and predatory sexual behavior, four other women have claimed that the DJ groped them at events.
Two of the women claimed that earlier when they traveled to London to meet Westwood to look out for their next big break, the popular DJ initiated unwanted s*x. Westwood was allegedly 53 at the time of the incident, while one of the women was just 19. Another woman has come up with her accusation, claiming that she felt like s**t and felt rather disgusting after what happened to her. An ongoing investigation will further unearth the issue.

These women were all in their late teens or early 20s when these said atrocities happened. The earliest alleged incident reportedly happened back in 1992, and the most recent one in 2017. A spokesperson of the renowned DJ has stated that Westwood strongly denies all allegations of inappropriate behavior. It was further stated that in Westwood’s career that has spanned over 40 years, no such allegations had been made against him, officially or unofficially. Several Twitter users have opened up about these allegations.
