The wife of white nationalist leader Richard Spencer has accused him of physically, verbally and emotionally abusing her throughout their eight-year marriage.

In a court filing for the couple's divorce proceedings in Montana, Nina Koupriianova said Spencer once left her with bruises after dragging her out of bed and down stairs in 2011. She also said he "attacked" and bruised her again in 2014, when she was four months pregnant with their first child.
