Nia Crooks Says Life Has Been “Hell”, Since Slapping Jennifer Williams

During an impromptu interview backstage during the Basketball Wives’ reunion show, VH1 chatted with Nia Crooks about the lawsuit and altercation with Jennifer Williams. Peep a few excerpts below:

On how her life has been, since appearing on Basketball Wives and slapping Jennifer Williams:

Hell. I could never imagine being in this predicament over something like that. And a person that I used to love is now just somebody I knew. It’s hell.

On how the public has treated her since the incident:

Yeah, they don’t know me and I get that, I’m part of this story, but I’m just a person that walked in a room and sat down and said something to a person and got up and smacked her. So it looks like I’m bullying someone whowelcomed the smack. She said “I wish you would.” She cut the conversation off because she doesn’t want anyone to know wh she really is. She’s a total different person outside of this. Being a celebrity is not for everyone, some people’s heads get inflated, some don’t. And if you have new people around you in your life, and it’s not the people you’ve been around forever, that says a lot about a person.

On if she regrets what happened:

I just wish my reaction wouldn’t have been that. I can’t take that back now, but that’s the way I was raised, that’s how I grew up, that’s a normal reaction of mine.

What do you think of Nia’s reaction now to the incident? Does she seem sincere? And should the public forgive her and move on?
