“Basketball Wives” star Jennifer Williams is spilling the beans on her failed romance with “Welcome to Sweetie Pies” man Tim Norman, and the details of their split are less-than-pretty.

In a series of tweets, Williams took aim at Norman, who she got a permanent restraining order against after she claims he stalked and harassed her following their bitter break up earlier this year. The reality TV star said she’s speaking out now that the court battle with her ex-boyfriend is through, and she didn’t hesitate to post screenshots of their falling out.

In one post, Williams shared photos of a text thread between her and another woman who claimed Norman had stalked her, too. The woman, whose name was redacted, accused the “Sweetie Pies” star of hitting her during a trip to LA and then stealing her car.

This isn’t the first time someone has accused Norman of violence, however. He was slapped with a misdemeanor assault charge earlier this year for punching a co-worker in the eye.

Things quickly turned petty, however, when Williams began poking fun at Norman’s “thick” physical appearance.

Williams told her followers to expect more messy tweets in the near future.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

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.
