Today’s story on celebrity gossip site TMZ.com about ‘Basketball Wives’ cast member Jennifer Williams feuding with Evelyn Lozada’s assistant, Nia Crooks (right), jarred my memory about an interesting email I received last year.

In her email my loyal reader, who identified herself as “Patricia,” claimed to have had a torrid love affair with the still-married Williams.

Patricia wrote that she met Williams 3 years ago at the Miami Club where she earned a modest living as an exotic dancer. She said JW took an instant liking to her because she reminded JW of “a younger version” of herself.

Patricia said the two women exchanged phone numbers and JW called her just a few hours later to make sure she “got home safely.” Patricia recalled how JW “wined and dined” her at fancy restaurants. Their friendship quickly blossomed into something “more meaningful,” Patricia wrote.

Patricia, who admits she is bisexual, described sex with JW as “intense” but infrequent. She wrote that she and Williams, who assumed the more dominant role, argued often and Williams seemed to be obsessed with exerting complete control over her.

Patricia said Williams eventually requested a key to the younger woman’s apartment and she began dropping by unannounced. In that same week, JW also allegedly ordered Patricia to quit her job at the strip club. Patricia said she complied with JW’s request only because she believe in good faith that JW would support her financially.

But Williams complained to Patricia about “cash flow problems” and offered to help the LSLH beauty find a part time job. Patricia said Williams never made good on her promise to help pay her rent. So Patricia returned to working full time as a stripper and the love affair soon ended.

Nia Crook’s story on TMZ bears striking similarities to Patricia’s claims in her email to Sandrarose.com. Particularly the part about the house key.

TMZ reports that Nia Crooks “filed a theft report against Jennifer Monday with the Hallandale Police Department, claiming JW is refusing to return the house keys Nia loaned her two months ago … back when they were still friends.”

Patricia told Sandrarose.com that she had the lock on her apartment door changed when JW refused to return her key.

All of this proves a suspicion that we in the lesbun community had about Williams all along.

It also begs the question: does Williams have a key to Evelyn Lozada’s crib? And is that why Evelyn faked that romance with Chad Johnson, a grown man who allegedly sucks his thumb?
