Michelle Williams takes center stage in ‘Wrath: A Seven Deadly Sins Story.’

Shining in the lead role, the singer-actress plays lawyer Chastity Jeffries.

Trying to navigate a chaotic love affair with another lawyer (portrayed by Antonio Cupo), she unwittingly lands at the receiving end of his jealousy, obsession, and wrath. All of which leads to violence and threats.

Chastity turns to her mother (played by Tina Knowles-Lawson) and childhood friend (played by Romeo Miller). Ultimately, though, she’s tasked with digging deep to deliver herself.

Ahead of the premiere of ‘Wrath’ on Lifetime, That Grape Juice sat down with Williams – who opened up in earnest.

Speaking EXCLUSIVELY with TGJ’s Chet Kincaid, the star dished on the film, readying new music, the possibility of a Destiny’s Child reunion, and much more.

‘Wrath: A Seven Deadly Sins Story’ premieres Saturday, April 16 at 8/7c on Lifetime.
