As if the split from her husband and feud with aspiring celebrity Evelyn Lozada wasn’t enough for her to handle, Jennifer Williams is facing even more drama today as a result of her role in the hit show ‘Basketball Wives‘.

According to a report by TMZ, the show’s producers are plotting to launch a lawsuit against Jennifer, in response to a media blitz by the star which saw her criticize the show’s portrayal of African American women, after footage of her being was slapped by Lozada’s assistant was aired this season.

TMZ claim:

According to our sources, producers feel Williams’ show-bashing is in violation of her contract — which forbids cast members from doing any media appearances or press without approval, or speaking negatively about the show. We’re told they feel she is “ruining the brand” they worked so hard to build. 

Here’s hoping all is resolved. If not, with a vacancy open at Bravo’s ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta‘, now might be the time for Williams to pull in favor from her good friend Nene Leakes.
