A luxury eastern suburb real estate agent accused of flicking chilli powder in the face of his wife has pleaded not guilty to several counts of assault spanning more than 15 years.

Evan James Williams faced Waverley Court this week, where he pleaded not guilty to five counts of common assault, one count of intimidation and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, following an alleged tirade of abuse against Kashaya Williams that spanned more than 15 years.

Ms Williams is a well-known Double Bay florist and wedding planner, having worked on various celebrity weddings, including that of Bachelor couple Anna and Tim Robards.

Mr Williams, who was a contractor for Gavin Rubinstein’s TRG agency and features on hit Prime Video show Luxe Listings, was charged on June 3, after Ms Williams reported her husband’s ­alleged abuse to Rose Bay police.

It is understood the couple are no longer together, with Mr Williams now living at a Randwick home.

Police allege Mr Williams assaulted his wife several times at their former homes across the eastern suburbs, beginning in 2005.

In documents seen by the Saturday Telegraph, Mrs Williams told police that on one occasion in 2005, she was in the kitchen cooking when her husband started “yelling” and complaining about the meal.

Evan Williams is accused of a series of assaults on his wife over a span of 15 years.

It’s alleged he then pulled out a container of chilli powder and flicked it towards his wife until her “face and neck were red” and “causing her pain”.

On another occasion in 2014, Ms Williams told police that after she accused her husband of having an affair, he pushed her against a wall, put his hands around her neck and squeezed.

It is alleged that he only let her go once Ms Williams bit him and pushed him away.

After Mr Williams presented himself to Waverley Police Station on the morning of June 3, a provisional apprehended domestic and personal violence order was put in place, to protect Ms Williams from her husband.

Under the order’s standard conditions, he must not assault, harass or threaten her and is prohibited from contacting her or coming within 200m.

His case was briefly mentioned at Waverley Court on Thursday, however, neither he nor his lawyer were required to attend.

The Magistrate was informed of Mr Williams’ not guilty pleas via email. The matter was adjourned for two weeks for a hearing date to be fixed.

In a statement, Mr Rubinstein said Mr Williams’ contract was recently suspended “due to misconduct” related an entirely separate workplace issue.
