Jen Files Lawsuit on Ev's Assistant



Jennifer Williams

The Basketball Wives serve up beef like it's thier favorite meal, but one B-Ball wifey's assistant may have taken it too far. Recently, Jen and her lawyer held a press conference confirming the cast member will be issuing a lawsuit to Evelyn's assistant, Nia Crook.

In a taping of the show, Nia said she is upset with Jen for letting fame go to her head. She confronted her ex-friend in front of the other ladies at a dinner. After words were exchanged, Nia got up from her seat and smacked Jen. This came after Ev smacked Jen in the head with her purse on a previous episode at Shaunie's birthday dinner.

Jen said at the press conference:

Violence used against any person is wrong but when a woman hits another woman it sets a horrible example for young girls everywhere. I choose to use the justice system to fight back.

I didn't watch the video for a long time because I lived it. It's disturbing. It's humiliating. I get anxiety just thinking about it. She hit me with her open hand on my cheek. I've never been hit in my life.

Jen also blooged about the episode:

Here’s the thing: on my show some of these women take pride in showing their a– in the most compromising way. These females have a point to prove and will do or say anything to be a “reality show star.” Fame is a powerful drug and some will go any length to achieve it. I am a grown woman and I have never had to fight someone to prove my point, I use my vocabulary and brain for that. Mature woman should be able to communicate their differences without violence. Using your hands to express yourself is absolutely WACK!!!

I will never forget that day at the racetrack, I didn’t go there to fight so that was the last thing I expected to encounter. All I remember was the nonsense that took place. The assistant/gofer decided to be in full action with her monkey see monkey do self as she snuck a slap from behind. You are a coward if you catch me off guard while sitting down and not to mention a bully! Then the president of the NON Factor T-shirt Enterprise thought that jumping across the table like a demon would be a good look for the young women in America that watch the show. The horses racing around the track were more civilized than some of the woman with me in the presidential suite that day. I swear I still don’t understand why someone would want to act so ridiculous on national television but I guess some will do anything for fame.



Evelyn and Assistant, Nia Crooks

Nia expressed in an interview she regrets taking it that far:

I'm not going to lie, I did regret it after it happened. I actually prayed on it. It bothers me that someone I love and someone I know became someone I use to love and someone I knew.

Rumor has it most of the Basketbal Wives cast will not do the reunion show if Jennifer Williams plans to be in attendance.

We hope Evelyn pays Nia well. By the looks of that smack the assistant will be handing over some bills.
