Fans Still Concerned After Michelle Williams Gives Update On How She’s Doing After Failed Engagement

Posted byBy Daryl Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

It’s been about two months since Michelle Williams ended her engagement to Pastor Chad Johnson, and now she’s given fans an update.

On Thursday an Instagram post showed the Destiny’s Child singer sporting braids, sunglasses and a black leather jacket, and she addressed her fans in the caption.

Michelle Williams lets fans know how she's doing after breaking off her engagement.

“All is well,” she wrote. “Now back to my cave.”

The post has since been deleted, which seems to be another sign that Williams hasn’t been in a social media mood since splitting with Johnson. Her last Instagram post before this week was on Dec. 27 when she shared images from a photo shoot.

Besides the recent selfie, the 38-year-old also uploaded a promotional video for the BET miniseries “American Soul” that tells the story of “Soul Train” and it’s creator Don Cornelius. Williams plays the part of Diana Ross in the series, which starts Feb. 7 at 9:00 p.m. EST.

The airing of “American Soul,” plus the recent Instagram posts may be a sign that Williams is returning to the public eye. It’s possible she’ll reveal more about the breakup at some point as well.

Johnson, for his part, spoke about it during the finale of his show with Williams “Chad Loves Michelle” and admitted to being “Broken up.”

But the singer hasn’t addressed the split since she apologized to her ex and his family on Instagram Stories.

“To @elevateint, and everybody in leadership that I met through @chadjohnson77, his family and friends. I am so sorry that I couldn’t be what I desired to be to your leader,” she wrote to Johnson’s family and his non-profit organization Elevate International on Dec. 9. “To all the young ppl (and some old ones🙈) that were hopeful and inspired by the love we had, I’m so sorry that I let you down.”

After Williams’ posted her selfie, the opinions on how she looked were split.

“Need that hair,” someone wrote.

“She looks pretty,” said a second fan.

“She looks unwell,” another person chimed in. 

“She’s going through it I can tell,” said one fan. While another fan said “Nahh something wrong.”

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.
