“When you hear that it’s another wife that is the cause of a divorce, it surprises me,” Jennifer Williams, wife of former NBA player Eric Williams who played on the San Antonio Spurs with Tony in 2006-2007, tells HollywoodLife.com. “I know that Eva and Erin, I don’t want to say [had] a close relationship, but Brent and Tony were on the team for a while together, so they were pretty friendly. So when you hear something like that, it’s definitely shocking!”
“[NBA Wives] stick together,” says Jennifer. co-star of VH1’s Basketball Wives. “It’s just something that’s not really spoken, but it’s understood that we have this sisterhood of women. When you’re on a team with these players and you become close with the wives, you can call them up for whatever. We’re all in the same situation, so everyone understands we have a common bond.”
“I was shocked to hear he was cheating with a teammate’s wife,” agrees Jennifer’s co-star Suzie Ketcham, who was married to now-retired NBA center Michael Olowokandi.”Definitely don’t lose yourself [to one of these guys].”
“We all understand what it’s like to be with these guys and it’s definitely not easy,” says Jennifer. “[But] we have this sisterhood of women and you would think that someone who understands your position that you’re in, wouldn’t go and do that to your husband.”
