Jennifer Williams Finds New Friends In ‘ATL Boos’ Cynthia Bailey and NeNe Leakes Amid ‘Basketball Wives’ Drama

Jennifer Williams has remained silent on the drama that unfolded during the “Basketball Wives” season finale Sunday night but she managed to blow off some steam recently with NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey.

Williams linked up with “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” stars at the Sofitel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills hotel where the trio took in a show in what appeared to be the lobby.

“Catchin’ up with my ATL boos @neneleakes @cynthiabaliey10 💋💋💋💋,” she captioned a photo of herself posing outside the building with the RHOA stars, who were fresh off their cast trip to Tokyo.

Williams also shared the love between the RHOA beauties separately giving a shoutout to Leakes — “Big sis @neneleakes got me in these streets” and Bailey — “My supermodel friend who I adore @cynthiabailey10.”

Williams’ night out was likely needed as she’s been getting skewed online for her refusal to own up to some negative remarks she made about her BBW friend and co-star’s daughter. On Sunday night’s final episode of the current “Basketball Wives” season, Williams was confronted by both Malaysia Pargo and Shaunie O’Neal when Williams continued to deny she dissed Evelyn Lozada’s daughter by saying she’s fast.

The confrontation with Pargo ended when she threw a table in Williams’ direction after Pargo exclaimed she was sick of her co-star’s “lying.” Meanwhile, Williams’ refusal to admit she slammed Lozada’s child and her parenting led O’Neal to step out of character and cuss out Williams.

Fans also took aim at Williams as they watched the drama unfold.

“I really hope this table connects. I’ll donate money to Malaysia if she gets sued. #BasketballWives.”

“Yo Malaysia said ‘i will take that penitentiary chance b—-‘ lmao she is nuffin to play with #BasketballWives.”

“Jennifer loves to be like ‘tell me the story I told you’ so she can hear it and tweak it parts of it #BasketballWives.”

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.
