Jennifer “Red Carpet” Williams, do we know her? The answer would be no if you haven't watched “Basketball Wives”, an American reality show. As the name suggests, this show has something do with the women linked with basketball players in a romantic way. If you follow the NBA, you will most likely know Eric Williams.
Jennifer Williams is the ex-wife of former NBA player Eric Williams. She is one of the cast members of the show – Basketball Wives. Basketball Wives catapulted her into the lime light. She was dropped in season 5 for asking for too much money. Before the show, she was a successful entrepreneur herself and she still is. She did make a fortune in the high-end real estate business and is a co-owner of Flirty Girl Fitness, a women's fitness and gym company that focuses on empowering women. She’s also the owner of another business called, Lucid Cosmetics which had been pretty successful. This line of cosmetics focused on lip wear. Her current net worth is about 25 million dollars! Sounds like she’s doing pretty well for herself.
Rich find the rich!!
Well, don't get your brain worked up wondering as to how did she make her way into a NBA player's life. This New Jersey girl is no stranger to a glamorous life. Do you want to know how she got a wealthy professional basketball player to ask her to marry him? She met her husband Eric Williams first in 2000 while in the real estate business. The two then got married in the Bahamas in 2007. Wedding in Bahamas?? Sounds lavish!! They had been together a long time before they got hitched, I'd say.
It was not a 'Happily ever after' story. The tense situation of their married life was the highlight of the Basketball Wives Series season 2. The disputes between the two had started already. Things were so bad in the show that Eric threw a glass of water at her. Jennifer said she was worried about her ex-hubby's behavior months after the incident on the show.
Guess what Eric's response was to the incident?? He says he was trying to cast off the demon inside her. Oh well, this wouldn't convince us, would it? Well, she said that she doesn't recognize him anymore. Now who would if we were in her shoes?
Anyway, they couldn't save their marriage. Eventually, they both ended their relationship in front of the camera. Both filed for divorce in 2010. Jennifer even hired a lawyer trying to get 30 million dollars from the settlement. As a part of final divorce settlement, she was awarded 14 million dollars. And Eric responded to this saying that she is a gold digger.
