Jennifer Williams Announces Her Departure From BBW; “I hope at some point my cast mates can get along and be civil with one another”

By Honest Jae on

While I can’t say that I am surprised in the least bit that Jennifer Williams will not be returning to the show, I can say that I am 100% behind her decision to leave. Her decision to not return to the show may have been the single best decision that Jennifer could have made since leaving her ex-NBA husband, Eric Williams.

The announcement came in the form of a blog post via Jennifers’ website where she explains how and why she came to the smart decision to remove herself from the drama.

“I feel some of the ladies who claimed to be my friend and claimed to be neutral made snide and slick remarks along with snickering about me. This proved to me that they indeed were not at all neutral. This season for me seemed no matter what I did it wasn’t going to be right, so I stopped trying. Tahiti was the last straw for me, we were half way around the world and I didn’t go there to argue or fight. I just wanted peace, but soon realized that wasn’t going to happen unless I was secluded from those that were determined to argue and fight. Arguing with former friends, slinging dirt back and forth was something I could have done in Miami not there. And what ever happened to the “G Code”? Whether the validity of things being said about me was true or false, as a friend there are certain things I would NEVER do. If you tell me something in confidence friend or foe, whether I don’t speak to you 20 years from now I will respect that and you will never have to worry about me repeating a word. The funny thing about arguing is choosing your words wisely because you can never take them back especially with millions of viewers watching.”

Learning to take responsibility for her own flaws, Jennifer states that although Season 4 has been the most difficult season to date, she wouldn’t trade the experience for anything as it has forced her to accept her own imperfections.

“Through the process of self-examination, although I strive for perfection (probably the Virgo in me), I realized I am far from it. I have flaws, I make mistakes, and all I can do is learn from them and because of this platform ideally others can to. Divorce was something I never wanted, but I came to grips that I couldn’t change my husband. My husband could only change himself. My parents are divorced and I now see how their failed marriage and my father’s infidelity have affected my entire family. My parents were married for over 30 years and have zero communication, it pains me to see them so distant and I resent my father for this. These are all struggles I deal with still to this day and profoundly affect my views on my relationships. “

Her decision to leave the show after 4 seasons (I am not sure if the 5th season has begun taping yet) has not left Jennifer bitter, in fact, Jennifer still wishes the best for her former cast members and hopes that they will eventually learn how to get along and communicate.

“I hope at some point my cast mates can get along and be civil with one another. I will always appreciate Basketball Wives Season 4 and this time in my life for the abundant lessons learned and personal growth I was forced to face. We all have our own individual imperfections, but I also believe we all have a good heart. As women of color it is important we uplift and support one another. I wish all my cast mates continued success and best wishes with their future endeavors”

People change daily. If we didn’t there would be no growth! Jennifer, God orders our steps. You bullied someone and now you’ve experienced it yourself, so you have a platform. Just as a ex-drug user, teaching other of his struggle…With saying that, move on from the past and let them be your stepping stone because they will always try and remind you of where you wer or where you came from. I already see you rising above it all but they are still waddling in there mess! No friendship is needed, that chapter is over. Hello or good to see you is ok, all that meeting over lunch, exchanging numbers will bring you right back to that chapter that should be sealed. Rise above and have a blessed life! God loves you!!
