A new report by Life & Style magazine today is now confirming that Jennifer Williams will indeed be filing for a divorce.
According to the magazine, things are officially over between the Basketball Wives star and her husband of 3 years, former NBA player Eric Williams. The short marriage between the couple had been plagued with numerous cheating allegations and a possible love child.
“I plan on filing for divorce in the next couple of weeks. It’s a new year and I just want to put this behind me,” Jennifer tells Life & Style. “He doesn’t know exactly when I’m going to do it. He’s just waiting for me to pull the trigger.”
Jennifer adds that it was never her intention to give up on the marriage despite Eric admitting to cheating with other women. “I really wanted it to work and believed he would change. This whole lifestyle is dysfunctional; it’s not a typical marriage. The bad just started to outweigh the good,” says Jennifer, also addressing the reports that came out last summer that Eric had a love child. “I wasn’t distraught about it, but I really felt bad for the child.”
So what are Jennifer’s plans following the divorce? “I just want to live comfortably and move on, get it over with,” she said. “I definitely will not put up with this type of behavior ever again!” Photos of Jen and Eric in happier times below.
In other Basketball Wives news, TMZ is reporting that Suzie Ketcham will not be returning for a third season.
A source close to the production tells TMZ shooting the show was draining and Suzie simply “couldn’t take the heat” as a reality star anymore so Season 2 will be her last.
TELL US – THOUGHTS ON JEN FILING FOR DIVORCE? WILL YOU MISS SUZIE ON THE SHOW?
She finally get it! He has been begging for a divorce the entire show! It’s funny how she turns things around like she is the one that doesn’t want to be bothered anymore! (like it was her idea to end things) lol …as for Suzie, who cares!! she was boring trailer trash I don’t know how she landed a Basketball player in the first place!
Divorce is never easy she made the choice. I want to see Royce leave the show, she is a bore and always looks a mess.
Divorce is never easy. He has hurted her deeply.
The man had a love child for christ sakes!!!!!!!!!!
What the hell did Suzie do to Evelyn that she came at her with a hammer and she now wants to leave?
@Sweet Tee.- Suzie never landed a player, and regarding Jennifer, Eric made it clear at the Restaurant “She’s been dragging in out, Why?” (Financially) A bigger payout!
Rajin Cajun – The show never explicitly said but I gather Evelyn slept with someone in Vegas and Suzie blabbed about it to people (I think it was Star Jones’ ex-hubby). That is why Evelyn and the girls are making such a big deal saying “What happens in Spain, stays in Spain”.
Suzie want to be in broadcasting now? I think she needs to work on her speech impediment first instead of head shots!
Love this show! Duh…Jennifer, its about time. I believe the big secret in Vegas is when Evelyn first met CHAD, (probably had sex the first nite) and wanted to keep it under wraps. This is what I always assumed…
I like Jennifer, although the comment “I just want to live comfortably and move on, get it over with,” is very telling.
Does “comfortably” mean the amount in the divorce settlement? Suzie, I could take it or leave her…dont like the fact that shes so scared of Evelyn, but its ROYCE that bothers me with her put-downs. She thinks shes all that, but she looks like a little kid in trying to play grown up.
@6 Thought the same thing, with the lisp…
Royce’s moustache is very distracting.
@5 Laurie, thank you, i thought i missed it or something.
I haven’t watched since the fashion show.
I thought it had something to do with the prostitution/escorting rumors.
or perhaps, something like teresa said.
i would think if Chad was involved, perhaps when Evelyn first met him she already had plans to go to Vegas and screwed another guy,
Chad thought it was a girls’ weekend, until Suzie opened her mouth.
Evelyn is really pissed off!
That happens a lot of the times.
oooh, I’m starting rumors!!!!!!!
I would be sad about Suzie not returning since she and Royce are the only ones I like, but she’s hardly even on this season anyway and if she refuses to be present at any events with the other girls, then there isn’t much point of her staying on the show.
@9, I’ve been reading for months about Chad/Eve relationship. Give this some thought…so what if she went to Vegas and laid up with a man? Shes single, right?
But what if the man was FAMOUS and was filthy rich? What if he had a show on VH1 looking for love?
You with me so far?? Any relationship between Chad and Evelyn had to be kept on the downlow because of his show on VH1. What if it had got out that the show was FAKE? Im sure Chad was under contract with VH1 to refrain from any outside relationships until it was aired in its entirety.
I understand why Evelyn was so upset with Suzie if this was the case. With this all said, I still think Evelyn is a bitch…but hey, if you are going to be a bitch, be the best bitch you can be!!
@Teresa,
Hahahahah! More rumors!
I am not sure when the tapings occur, but people do know those ‘dating shows’ are fake. I mean they have like 3 seasons! Lol!!!!! Flav, Brett, Ray J, etc???
When Evelyn slept with someone in Vegas, it was messing with another man or her money elsewhere.
You don’t get that mad, just because Suzie told any-hoo Evelyn got laid in Vegas if she was single, or they were escorting or the man was married.
Evelyn is pissed!!!
Evelyn is a bitch and a wimp when she didn’t have Jennifer’s back during the Tammi fight.
@ Rajin,
Hell yeah, I know these shows are fake, lol. The women on “looking for love” reality shows are actresses, models, strippers, porn stars, etc, etc, etc…what kills me is that these women try to OUT the other women’s motives for being on the show. We all know they are there for the same thing…15 minutes of FAME!
I do believe that Jennifer is the one that wanted to divorce. I believe she was stalling to make sure she left with the right figure and rightfully so. It was obvious that Eric did not want a divorce but let his pride get in the way of saying so. Its not always what you say. I am am team
Correction …I am Team Jenn all the way!!
@ Teresa I think you are on point.
I read something about Chad and Ev bumping heads….alot so the actual wedding is on hold, (for now anyway)
If it were not Fake, would Royce be parading around her ‘boyfriend’ in her lingerie, as if they were on a Honeymoon? Would Evelyn had ever gone to brunch with Tami? Would Jennifer have brought Tami Flowers to The Frankenstein Recovery Room after the way she Clowned at the fundraiser?! I think not!
This show is HORRIBLE anyways. To give EX wives, girlfriends, babymamas, and booty calls a show??? I’ve watched it twice and couldn’t understand why this trash is wasting air time. Does anyone actually LIKE this show? I need to question your sanity… or lack of a life. I watched two episodes and already know all the drama that has been going on since last season! That Jennifer lady that’s married to that GORRILLA/Horse mouth of a man is wayy to pretty for him! Why is she waiting around saying “Poor me, he cheats on me and I just smile and talk it over dinner with the rest of my loser girlfriends.” Oh duh, well it’s all about $$$ I forgot. Silly me. I’m not an unhappy gold digging woman so I wouldn’t know.
Jennifer is a golddigging fool & stupid to get tight w/ Evelyn. But they desrve each other.
And Shaunie, whatta b***h she is! Talk abour s**t stirring.
Suzie is apparently smarter than all the rest put together.. She got a little exposure & now will try to make it work. Can’t fault her for that.
Royce is naive compared to the other sharks so I cut her a little slack,

I found it hysterical when Jen was making wedding plans with the watch guy in Madrid. Dude was not only married, but was trying to boost his business…ha ha ha ha ha ha. Someone said it a long time ago…all you have to do is “smile” at a black chic and she’s making wedding plans…how desperate can we get!!
Once again, Tammy the crazy black b*tch is hearing sh*t. I know Shaunie needs the ratings, but surely there are enough successful black women who’s been dumped by black men in sports to highlight, than this pathetic excuse for a mother and woman? She has no class, no filters to block her outbursts, then after this crazed woman has had her moment, she come’s back like nothing’s ever happened. I mean, she’s a case file waiting to be examined. I can only imagine what Kenny must have gone through. This woman is just a mess and its embarrassing watching her go crazy week after week. I feel sooo sorry for her girls, cause if they turn out like her, God help the planet!!
I find it so sad that Evelyn really thinks Bro. Chad is gonna marry her narcasistic pathetic as. I mean seriously?? This woman is so stuck on herself, one wonders how she gets past a mirror without falling in love all day. And to be honest with you…she could pass for a drag queen!!
Two wrongs does not make it right with Jen and Eric, their both still married so if the fact is that he cheated and she is trying to find a man to cheat with their still both wrong, so the keyword is forgive and let go and stay together. And stop listening to Evil Evelyn a.k.a. (slut bucket)that is about to leave your butt behind when she gets married, try telling her to leave her man right about now. And I like Suzie she is a sweet person and have said I’m sorry 100,000 times get out of here, what more can she do? you do not need unforgiving friends.
I really enjoy this show and cannot let a week go by without watching. I agree with Evelyn regarding the Suzie situation she betrayed her trust and should be ostracized for her big mouth. Jennifer do not cry over Eric he is not worth it. My grandmother told me their is a lid for every pot and Eric is not your lid.I know that it is hard but eventually you will find someone special. Tammy is so ghetto and low class, she really makes black women look bad. At the drop of a hat she is ready to fight. What kind of example is he setting for her daughters! Shaunie stay classy girl and do not kick Royce off the show
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that Jennifer’s marriage to eric is disfunctional. Move on already! That guy doesn’t even have a personality. He talks nonsense!
Basketball wives…come to your senses and stop letting Evelyn rule you! She is not to be trusted! And Royce stirs up stuff too! She is a hanger-on!
this show should be called ghetto bitches, these women are not rich, have no class, and if it werent for the special talent of layin on their backs for these ghetto ball players they would just be projecto hoessss
Evelyn has a mustache, looks like a dude…Jennifer is actually pretty but serious you want us to believe you into that ugly ass man with that tumor/lump on his forehead?? And Royce, really?? got no words for that. Suzie, broadcastin?? Hello speech therapy!!!!
This show is a disgusting display of minorities…awful, you should all be ashamed of yourselves……
Everybody got something to say but obviously watching the show!pure entertainment n I love it!
This show is hilarious. It is so stupid that you really need to find out if these women really take themselves seriously. Jennifer should not have gotten married in the first place. Now, correct me if I am wrong she said that there were problems before the wedding and she did not trust him. Ok, I might be thick, but was not this a red flag?? What was the purpose of going through with unresolved issues??? He has repeatedly told her his position, why was she not calling it a day until now? Don’t understand… The show is called Basketball Wives, the only one that is married is Jennifer, Evelyn isnt married but was only engaged to one, Royce certainly isn’t, Shaunie is …well. and Tammy, poor Tammy. She is sooo ghetto and it is so clear that she does not even fit in with the rest of them. She needs help. The show on a whole is a perfect case of the blind leading the blind as none of those women are in any position to give sound or credible advise, a real waste of time
Yes but you see the other wives who are not trash like these and who are really really basketball wives are not on the show. That tells you something. I just want to see next season if Shaunie gona treat Evelyn like how she did Gloria. Afterall, Gloria didnt mess with Shaq, her sister did, but Shaunie takes it out on Gloria. But now that her homegirl is just as low down will she continue to defend her?
Evelyn slept with Tammy’s ex while they were married….wow, Evelyn is a ho-bag and she WAS my favorite….you can’t date a man for 6 months and not know he’s married….Karma is a bitch!!
I agree Evelyn is a hoe. Jennifer you’re better off w/o Eric. He’s ugly to me. Plus he’s a cheater. Please don’t try to follow in Evelyn’s shoes. I wouldn’t be surprise if Evelyn haven’t slept with Shaq or Jen’s man. She is such a hoe and gold digger. I used to think she was pretty but Evelyn doesn’t think her shtt doesn’t stink because she’s light skin or Latina. Ochocinco is so ugly. He going to marry Everlyn. Chad is colorstruck. He only date light skin or white women.
Why so many black men dating and married outside their race? Don’t get me wrong. I am fine with interracial dating or marriage but why so many black men do this shtt and then these women take them for all of their money.
I enjoy the show, its better than Jerry Springer when it first came out. Jennifer married ugly for the money. Evelyn is a gold digger and needs a good ole’ Kansas City ass kicking to bring her back to reality. Royce would get that ass kicked too. Tami appeared dysfunctional on the show but last night on the reunion spoke and behaved with class. Jennifer is also a follower of Evelyn and maybe they should get together. Suzi, struck gold to be on the show and a basketball whatever. Shaunie, you go girl make that $$$$, but keep it 100.
I think watching this show makes me feel so blessed with my own life.No one has a man of there own that is honest,respectful and shows them real love.Royce I do like,she seems to be the only one that is a real person.When you are a mom,I think you should always consider your kids first.Evelyn getting on national Tv basically declaring she is a hoe and has slept with everyone and has no shame is disgusting just throwing her puss in the ring to the highest bidder is so sad and does she think any man will want to marry her and have babies after her performance of being a 1st class hoe on tv.They make black women look stupid I’ll never watch the show again!
I WISH SUZIE WOULD LEAVE THE SHOW…SHE IS SO FAKE….SHE CAN’T KEEP A SECRET FRO NOTHING…. AND SHE WILL TAKE A BONE AND THROW ONE ALL IN THE SAME DAY…..I WISH I COULD BITCH SMACK HER ASS MYSELF…..SHE IS SO FAR UP EVELYN’S ASS I’M SURE SHE CAN’T TELL US THE SENT OF THE DAY FOR EVELYN…..I CAN’T STAND SUZIE AND I HOPE MEEKA KICK HER ASS ALSO
