Basketball Wives: Jennifer Williams Admits To Provoking Eric

Update-Basketball Wives star Jennifer Williams admitted today that she may have provoked her estranged husband Eric to throw a drink in her face, but just as quickly Jenn ridiculed Eric’s reaction.

Jennifer and Eric Williams’ scene were by far the most highly anticipated part of the finale, hence why VH1 smartly edited to keep this for the last scene – literally!

Last week, mouths were agape as the quick shot shows Eric aggressively throwing a drink into his soon-to-be-ex wife face. Why?! Last night finally shed some light. As the estranged couple sat down to discuss their dragging divorce the conversation escalated to talk about a few things – some new to the story – before Eric appears to get up and walk away. As Eric walks away Jenn throws a drink splashing Eric on the back (you can see his shirt is wet in the clip). Then Eric returns and tells Jenn’ “be careful” before splashing her directly in the face with another drink.

It’s hard to have 100% sympathy for Jenn after watching the entire scene – Eric does loose points for the intensity in which he threw the drink and his table manners left much to be desired.

Basketball Wives: Do you agree that Jennifer Williams provoked Eric and should he have retaliated?

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.
