Jennifer Williams’ New Selfie Has Fans Exclaiming She’s ‘Looking Yo Best’

Jennifer Williams has been keeping a low profile since “Basketball Wives” concluded its eighth season. But the star has recently graced fans with her presence on Instagram.

Williams uploaded a selfie to the photo and video sharing site Thursday wearing her hair in a thick, crimped black ponytail. She kept her look casual with gold-colored hoop earrings, a fur Louis Vuitton scarf and a jean jacket.

Perhaps Williams’ beauty can be attributed to her largely staying out of the fray this season. Aside from her tensions with off-and-on pal Evelyn Lozada after Williams refused to own up to alleged remarks about Lozada’s daughter, Williams has mostly been drama-free.

Still, the star sparked concern among fans when she indicated her time on the VH1 series may be over.

In September, she posted a photo with the caption, “Excited about my next chapter… Thank you to my manager @deannamorales for always having my front and back. I love you D! #ForwardIsTheMotion #MoneyMakingMonday 💋.”

Her “next chapter” made fans fear she’d closed the book on “Basketball Wives.”

“Next chapter? Done with BBW? I won’t blame you if you did.”

“So, is this finally the end of #BBWives ???”

If it were up to Williams, however, she might have wrapped her time on the show a season ago. She told “The Breakfast Club” last year, “I honestly would like to move forward in my life.”

And she’s looking to move forward in her personal life, too.

Speaking to Atlanta Black Star ahead of the season premiere in June, she shared her hopes of becoming a mother.

“I want to be a mom. I didn’t really have this urgency until my mom passed [from cancer in 2015],” Williams said. “I feel like I always wanted that, but when my mom passed I felt like I didn’t have that bond with a mom anymore. I was like, ‘You know what? This is something that I want to experience.’ I’m not saying it has to be tomorrow, but … I would love to have a child, and I don’t want a surrogate. I wanna be pregnant, I want to be able to experience that.”

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.
