‘Glad Jenn Left That Alone Cuz He’s KNOT Wassup’: Jennifer Williams Reacts to News About Her Ex-Husband, Eric Williams, and His New Fiancée, Fans Chime In

Who remembers the viral “Basketball Wives” scene between Jennifer and Eric Williams? The former couple were married for 10 years and went through a divorce during their time on the VH1 series. During the Aug. 8 season finale, Eric aggressively threw a drink in his estranged wife’s face after she threw a drink at his back. Jennifer admitted later she provoked Eric, but fans have never let the former NBA star forget the shocking moment.

Photos of Eric and his new fiancée were recently shared by The Neighborhood Talk on Sunday, July 17. According to the outlet, Eric is now a farmer and engaged to a mystery woman, who posed in one photo showing off her diamond engagement ring. The duo also took a photo and video of themselves eating apples.

“Congrats,” replied Jennifer in the comments with one laughing emoji. Many were shocked to learn about Eric’s latest career choice and mentioned Jennifer’s glow-up since their divorce.

“I remember this episode like yesterday! I low-key felt bad for her so badly.”

“Idk why but I jus cackled for a good 18 minutes behind this.”

“God spint the block for Jennifer … it pays to stay classy sometimes…”

“He looks a mess and Jennifer looks bomb asf til this day!”

“He damn near drowned Jenn with a martini glass of liquor.”

One fan mentioned that Eric “looks better” with a full head of hair after appearing on “Basketball Wives” in the early 2010’s as a baldy. Many also commented on his large white teeth including one person who said, “One thing…these teeth still teethin!!” But most made jokes about the lump on Eric’s forehead that formed into a keloid after he was stabbed, as he previously discussed.

One person said, “Chileeee please. Glad Jenn left that alone cuz he’s KNOT wassup.” Another said, “Definitely knot surprised.” A third person wrote, “A lil farmer lol. Knotty by nature.”

Fans also brought up Nicki Minaj‘s 2012 song, “Roman Reloaded,” where she referenced Eric’s head. At the end of verse two, she raps, “More knots than Eric on “Basketball Wives.”

One person added in the comments, “We do KNOT care.”

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.
