‘Well, Hello’: Jennifer Williams’ ‘Unbothered’ Look Wins Major Praise From Fans

Love her or hate her, reality star of VH1’s “Basketball Wives” Jennifer Williams is sitting pretty and unbothered in her black-and-white Balmain boots.

Williams, who was married to former NBA player Eric Williams from 2007 to 2010, took to Instagram to pose with her legs crossed sporting a white blazer, denim shorts, black-and-white graphic T-shirt, and her Janis logo over-the-knee boots. She captioned the image with a motivational message, “Keep investing in your net worth and your self-worth … Happy Monday.”

Fans quickly praised her look, especially the Balmain boots. Infamous gossip blogger Perez Hilton reacted to Williams’ post, writing, “Those boots are major!!!”

Another fan commented: “@jenniferwilliams I love you be so unbothered look at these pictures you glowing like AF 😍😍🔥🔥”

Starting in 2010, Williams was a leading cast member on “Basketball Wives” during the first four seasons of the franchise. Williams returned as a guest on the show during season 6 before returning as a recurring cast member in season 7 in May 2017.

However, Williams faced a conflict with practically every cast member, including Malaysia Pargo, frenemy Evelyn Lozada, and executive producer Shaunie O’Neal. Tami Roman accused Williams of spreading a rumor alleging that Lozada was intimate with O’Neal’s exes. From there, Williams’ relationships on the show became more problematic in the aftermath of the rumor, and she was called out by Pargo for supposedly speaking negatively about Lozada’s daughter, Shaniece.

Pargo also flipped a table on Williams after she was confronted about what she allegedly said. Williams did not join the cast for the seventh season reunion.

More recently, Williams was spotted with Pargo and Lozada at the launch of her first brick-and-mortar store for her Classy Girl Wardrobe line. Fans were confused that the trio were in a photo together, but later Pargo posted an image on her Instagram with Williams cropped out. Lozada also repost the same image on her page.

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
