Jennifer Williams, the star of VH1’s “Basketball Wives,” has added a new witness in her quest to get a permanent restraining order against her ex-boyfriend James “Tim” Norman.

Williams’ attornies have added former pastry chef Horace Hodges to their list of witnesses, according to a Friday, March 30 report from TMZ.  Hodges alleges, like Williams, that he had a violent encounter with the “Welcome to Sweetie Pies” star.

In 2017, Norman’s former co-worker filed a lawsuit for damages including impairment, mental anguish, physical disfigurement and pain after claiming Norman hurled a punch that damaged his left eye.

The update follows a Thursday report from the celebrity gossip website which saw Norman hit back at Williams’ temporary restraining order where he claimed her allegations of abuse are unfounded.

He claimed his ex-girlfriend was acting out of vengeance when she got the restraining order. Meanwhile, Williams alleged Norman was prone to violence and he refused to bend to the pressure of reality TV producers to propose to her.

And while Williams alleged Norman was trying to generate chatter about “Sweetie Pies,” he contended that she is the mean-spirited one. Among his allegations, he said she tried to run him over, became angry because he wouldn’t fund her business and stole his money.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
