Tables are looking to turn on BBW Jennifer Williams

As you all are surely aware that Basketball Wife Jennifer Williams had sued Nia Crooks after being struck by Nia on the show.  Well now it appears that tables are starting to turn on Jennifer as producers feel she is ruining the brand that they have worked so hard to build after she reportedly stated that the show "is negatively portraying black women"  They felt her explicit show-bashing is in violation of her contract, which forbids cast members from doing media appearances or press without approval nor to speak negatively about the show.  Clearly Williams lawyers will need to find some loop hole within this contract in order for them to win this case.  Also Nia has been charged for the slap.
 
Now I don't know about you, but clearly this was not a shocker considering all of the talks that a reunion would not be possible due to a lot of the key stars of the show deciding to shun Jennifer because of the lawsuit.  They have to guard their baby and one of the reasons we continue to watch the show is to see the lead up to see why the girls are so upset at the reunion.  Now that a reunion may not occur, which is where a lot of the ratings go up, they have to find away to keep the momentum going for the show. 
 
Now does the show portray a negative image of "black women", no not really because the angry black women scene has been done many times before, been there done that so I would say no not really.  I mean look at mob wives they are fighting over things like who say what, who's dad was a better Mafia king, and things that happened years ago but when they are asked why are you really mad its all here say.  This person said she said this or that.  At least with BBW they sit down tell you why they are mad let you speak then pop you.  Does these shows portray negatively about women in general yes because there are so many behind the scenes great things that these women are doing like volunteer work, starting businesses, spending family time, etc that we don't see.  Sex and Drama is what sells so there you have it, thats whats going to be shown.  But I wish Jennifer and the rest of the girls and the show much success and happiness and hope things work out.
