Eric Williams Speaks His Mind

I watch Basketball Wives every time it comes on and Jennifer Williams and her husband Eric Williams relationship continues to get worse everyday. Every episode that featured the couple left me wondering, “Why are they together?” and “Where They Ever In Love To Begin With?”. Well, now that the two are officially headed for a divorce, Eric is speaking out.
He recently sat down with a reporter and discussed everything from their marriage to his advice to women who date high profile men and athletes. He also discusses the good times that they’ve had and why he won’t attempt to make things work.

Check out some of the topics below:

On if he felt as though he was portrayed negatively on the show
Listen, I don’t give a rat’s ass how that show came out. Everyone’s got an opinion. I’ve noticed in this world that bad guys are the ones that finish first. I relish to be the asshole of the year.

On whether he was ever in love with Jennifer since the cameras never caught any real chemistry between the two
Yeah, we were. In the beginning, things were great. There were a few infidelities here and there. We had ups and downs, but we didn’t get married until after I was out of the NBA. We had a lot of great times. It’s only been lately that things are going south.

On if he’d like to know if she cheated on him
Yeah, I would love to. Then maybe things could balance out. Like any other man would, I’d have those butterflies in my stomach for a little bit. Then, I’d start feeling a lot better because then I could justify my end. You feel me? Once you give yourself up to another man, that’s the easiest thing for me to break from. That’s what I’d need to go stepping because she emotionally gave herself to another man. A lot of dudes cling on to their woman like a possession. Then, when she gets all fucked up, he doesn’t know how to act. He’ll get more emotional than the woman and may try to raise his hand to hit her because he lost out on how to be a real man, so he loses himself. I understand the rules. I was blessed from the universe to give me true understanding. I don’t get emotionally removed. My foundation will always be solid. Do I hurt like that man? Yes, but my actions are not like him because I know how to control my emotions.

On Why He Won’t Attempt To Make The Marriage Work I tried. She’s going on these shows and blogs talking all this sh*t. You don’t see me doing it. I’m sure you’ve heard her on radio stations and all that, talking about she’s not wearing her ring and all of that. Every picture she takes, she has her left finger up, and it’s like, what the f*ck is wrong with you? She’s putting the information out there. I stay quiet. She’s got mother f*ckers talking crazy and trying to offend me, saying I must be gay and I’m ugly as hell. I don’t get down like that. These people don’t know who they’re f*cking with, seriously. I don’t play around with this bullshit. Don’t play with me.

Advice for women who date athletes or High-profile men
When you go into it, go in with the purest of hearts. If you’re going to be in a situation like that, keep everything in the house no matter what it is. If it’s f*cked up, get the f*ck out. Don’t wait around and look for rewards. If you’re in it for ulterior motives—to be in the clubs, the blogs and on TV—then get the f*ck out of there. It’s going to eat your ass up and you’re going to end up being passed around to every other mother f*cker out there.

On What He’d Like People To Know About Him
I’m emotional too, when it comes to my wife, but I’m not emotional to the point where I will act all crazy or something like that. My thing is, for the women that have been watching for the past year and a half and making up opinions about me, Eric has passion. Don’t look at it like Eric is mean or some shit. My thing is 100. Everything that I’ve ever done on that show has been pure passion. Why do you think [Jennifer] fell in love with someone like me? There’s a reason. I don’t live my life for other people’s opinions. I haven’t cut corners; I’m straight to the point. Women always want someone that just says it and now that you’ve got a mother f*cker saying it, now they’re like, “He’s mean.” Make up your minds! I didn’t go on trying to act shit out, I’m not an actor.

On what makes him happy
I’m always happy. Things are always sunny. People say, “He can’t even close his mouth.” I say, “I’m always smiling, that’s why I can’t close it.” I’ve been blessed to have a natural smile even when I’m not even smiling. I’ve got a lot of light within myself, and I’ve got to let it out some way. That’s the biggest hole I have on my body. [laughs] Don’t get mad at me. Learn how to do it, and be happy. Tap into your intuitive self, and see how your life changes.
