It’s no secret that reality TV stars Tim Norman and Jennifer Williams have a contentious relationship and Norman dished on one aspect of it on Saturday’s episode.

And according to Norman, the whole post-breakup dust-up stemmed from an issue with a proposal that never came.

Williams filed for a temporary restraining order against Norman in March, alleging he was violent and threatening and stalked her to get eyes on “Welcome to Sweetie Pies.” Now, Norman recalled things were a “spectacle” when she called TMZ to show up at the courtroom as she was a granted restraining order against her ex-boyfriend.

“Every time I really try to get away from her, man, she would try to basically threaten me with, ‘Hey, nobody’s gonna believe you. Look at me, I’m gorgeous, I have this and I have this [and] that. I’m going to destroy you … You’re never gon work in this town again,” he says on the May 26 episode.

Norman wound up getting a restraining order against Williams, claiming she was the one who was violent. He said he wasn’t trying to hurt her but simply got the order to protect himself.

“At the end of the day she was really mad because she was expecting me to propose to her,” he says. “When she went ring shopping with Monique, I was like, ‘Man this ain’t that type of party.’ So that was really … the turning point for the both of us when I didn’t realize she was taking it that serious where it’s [love]. …I didn’t have feelings for her like that.”

In response, fans began taking sides.

“I’m not gonna lie but that b—- is crazy. I seen that last season. How come when Basketball wives first came on years ago she was all quite an innocent but those are the ones to watch out for, lol!”

“Jennifer and Tim were always a strange couple to me.”

“Buuuut you talking more about Jennifer than the new girlfriend.. Catch that eye roll from her towards the end lol.”

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.
