Jennifer Williams Claps Back at Fan Doubting She’s Got a ‘Real Man’

Jennifer Williams still has not spilled the beans on who her boyfriend is, but his identify doesn’t matter to fans as the star definitely seems to be happily in love.

On Jan. 28, the “Basketball Wives” star uploaded a meme detailing how she wants her Man Crush Monday to behave.

“When you actually date a REAL MAN, you’ll get the ‘Don’t worry babe, I got it.’ ‘Let’s go…Let’s do it… I planned this for us.’ ‘I got you a gift just because.’ Instead of dealing with ‘Sorry, I forgot, I can’t make it, not today.’ ‘You didn’t text me first,’ I was busy,’ ‘Sorry for not texting you all day.’ Type of man,” the meme read.

Williams co-signed the post writing, “My type of #MCM.”

Several fans were pleased that Williams had found true love and romance.

“Sound like you in love..💙 happy for you.”

“Oh just rub it in😜😘.”

And others wondered where to find such a guy.

“Sis do he got a young uncle 🤷🏾‍♀️❤️”

“Where he at??”

“Mine too but where are they? Sad but true we women have to be the love and support we crave in a man. #f–kboys.”

However, things hit a pause when Williams had to step up to defend her secret relationship after a user doubted she was actually off the market.

“That statement is exactly why you don’t have a real man,” user @harlem_quar commented.

Williams hit back replying, “@harlem_quar you don’t know what I have so don’t speak on s— you don’t know… FOH ✌🏽.”

Williams has teased the possibility that she has, in fact, moved on from her troubled relationship with Tim Norman of “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s” fame.

“It’s taking a toll on me, it’s really wearing me down. I haven’t been sleeping well, my mind is, like, all over the place,” she said on “Basketball Wives” of the toll a court case over their fall out had taken on her. “I’m nervous, I still don’t want to walk my dog after dark. … I just need to date different guys.”

The reality star showed a piece of her man to fans on Instagram back in August showing she has, seemingly, begun dating a different kind of man.

Williams snapped a photo of herself riding alongside a tattooed man and captioned the pic, “Him ❤️”

Despite doubters, Williams shared another message about love two months later.

“I want to be the girl who makes your bad days better and the one that makes you say, ‘My life has changed since I met her,’” it read.

Some took the post as an indication that Williams wasn’t being patient enough for love. But she corrected them saying, “I’m very happy in my relationship this post wasn’t about finding someone 💕”

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.
