"Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada's assistant Nia Crooks has been charged with misdemeanor battery for slapping the shit out of Jennifer Williams
Jennifer Williams filed a criminal complaint and if convicted, Nia faces up to a year in jail.
Nia asked Jennifer if she needed to be slapped and Jennifer replied, "I wish you would." So her wish was granted.
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."
Who's side are you on ?
"Basketball Wives" star Jennifer Williams is finally fighting back after being slapped in the face by Nia Crooks.
Williams filed a police report after the January 21 incident, in which she Nia Crooks delivered an "open hand" slap heard all over the world to the left side of Jennifer's face during a group outing to a race track in Florida.
The incident was caught on tape by the "Basketball Wives" crew and aired last week. Crooks threatened Williams right before the attack saying, "Do I need to slap you in the face to wake you up?"
Williams replied, "I wish you would." and well she got her wish.
Williams has now followed up with a civil suit in NY going after Nia for assault and battery. Jennifer claims she suffered serious injuries in the attack as well as "mental shock, mental anguish and psychological trauma”
Williams is demanding Nia fork over a massive check for all of her medical expenses and other damages.
"Basketball Wives" star Jennifer Williams' feud with Evelyn Lozada's assistant ain't over TMZ learned, the assistant is now taking their situation to the police accusing Jennifer of stealing her house keys.
