Eboni Kiuhnna Williams (born September 9, 1983) is an American attorney and television host.[2][3] She co-hosted a talk show on WABC Radio in New York City and was a co-host of Fox News Channel's 2017 show Fox News Specialists.

Early life

Williams was raised by a self-employed single mother. She received her B.A. in Communications and African-American studies at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and she earned her law degree from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. As a law student, Williams clerked for the Louisiana Secretary of State and the Louisiana Attorney General's office, and also assisted New Orleans councilmembers in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.[2]

Career

In 2008, Williams provided legal counsel in family law and civil litigation. She was a public defender and returned to private practice in 2010. Williams provided representation for clients in homicide, rape, drug, sex crime, and federal offense cases. She was a correspondent for CBS News and a contributor for Fox News, with appearances on Hannity and The O’Reilly Factor, and has appeared as a co-host on Outnumbered and The Five.[2][4] Williams was a co-host for the Fox News Specialists afternoon show that first aired May 1, 2017, with co-hosts Eric Bolling and Katherine Timpf. The show was created after the departure of Bill O'Reilly to rebuild the Fox News Channel lineup.[5] Fox News Specialists was cancelled on September 8, 2017, after Eric Bolling departed from the network amid sexual harassment allegations.[6]

On June 5, 2017, Williams joined WABC Radio as co-host of a noon-to-3 p.m. talk show along with long-time radio personality Curtis Sliwa, replacing Ron Kuby as Sliwa's co-host on the show.[7] However, her WABC gig was short lived, as her last show aired October 18, 2017.
