Producers of VH1's Basketball Wives are thinking about filing a lawsuit against cast member Jennifer Williams for publicly trashing the reality show.
After Jennifer Williams sued Nia Crooks for slapping her in the face while taping an episode (below), VH1 reportedly became absolutely livid with her.
Now producers are ready rebut Williams' legal and media rampage, during which she said the show portrays African-American women negatively.
Producers feel Williams' lawsuit is frivolous - her contract says she waives such a right to sue based on physical confrontations, the network says.
Moreover, her explicit show-bashing is in violation of her contract, which forbids cast members from doing media appearances or press without approval.
Or speaking negatively about the show, which the nut job clearly has.
VH1 feels J-Dubs is "ruining the brand" they worked so hard to build, which is hilarious, but actually not a legal stretch if she's in breach of contract.
Crooks, for her part, was charged with battery for the slap. Really.
