*Uh oh, it looks like things have taken a turn for the worse for Nia Crooks
As we reported, the Crooks, who’s featured on “Basketball Wives,” hauled off and slapped the crap out of Jennifer Williams on a recent episode (taped back in January).
Jennifer of course didn’t particularly appreciate the five finger treatment and took to the cops, who have decided to serve Crooks with a misdemeanor battery charge for her actions, according to a TMZ report.
A rep for the Broward County State’s Attorney’s Office tells us … officials decided to file the charge on April 10 … after Williams filed a criminal complaint.
If convicted, Nia faces up to a year in the slammer, but here’s what Nia’s lawyer, Marc David Seitles, told TMZ:
“We will vigorously defend Nia against these charges. The women on the show executed contracts expressly accepting the risk that a physical altercation could occur.”
The lawyer adds, “Given that Jennifer herself has previously instigated fights on the show, to cry foul now is absurd and a desperate attempt for publicity and money. We will fight until Nia is vindicated.”
During the incident, which aired on last week’s episode of “Basketball Wives” — Nia can be heard threatening to slap Jennifer … to which Jennifer replied, “I wish you would.” Her wish was granted.

Punk azz move ‘on Jen’s part! She started the shyt, she couldnt finish/hand wit, plaaaaaaain & simple! So now?, we “lawyer up”!? Yeah, c/z yo “projects are prolly NOT g’on afford you the lifestyle yo HUSBAND’s mony did!, so….I guesss you need all you can get, from ANYwhere, right!? Maybe you’ll go to…”diction class”! Naaaaaw, you talk like that?, c/z you’re trying to hide the REAL shyt, inside! Talkin all careful 7….”strange”! But oh well…..kids tadeh! Yarn!
I guess it depends on the jurisdiction, but I was under the impression that criminal charges are brought by the state, and it is up to them if it is warranted. The victim’s only role is to bring it to their attention, if they were not already aware of it. But the state still has the right and obligation to bring charges without being notified by the victim. So what is so different from what this woman has done, compared to all the beat downs in hockey or any other sports. These prosecutors see it on TV every day, just as they see those other altercations on reality TV and Jerry Springer styled talk shows. So why is it that criminal charges were not brought by the state against those individuals? Why are they now bringing charges against this woman for such a petty offense, compared to all the bloody brawls that we see in sports all the time? Is this all about publicity for some prosecutor?
Is race a factor? And should this affect not only reality TV, but the way athletes conduct themselves while competing in sporting events?
Wait. Did you mention “race”. Two black chics fight and you mentioned “race”. I really need to meet you.
I know you are smart enough to see the point I was making.
Why would you act as if you don’t know that the disproportionately higher incarceration rates for blacks is mainly due to prosecutors having a hard on for prosecuting blacks, regardless of the victim’s race?
And…..if Nia goes to jail?, then EVRYONE on dem White shows needs tah goe! I mean…..dem mofo’s fight EVRY fkn week!! So….whaddup with dat shyt!!?? What!?, “nobawdy presses charrrrrrges” ‘on dem shows!? GTFOH!!
This happened back in January. I guess the police had to see it on film first before they actually went with charging Nia. The mess is stupid! Jen needs to stop acting bougie and talking smack if she doesn’t want to get smacked. But Ev’s ignorant azz and her ignorant azz assistant need to let it go. If she doesn’t want to hang with y’all no more…EFF HER! It’s not that serious!
Nia Crooks’ attitude is almost as ugly as her skin. She needs to see a dermatologist and psychiatrist!
