Williams recently issued an official statement where she outlined various reasons for her decision to exit the franchise and not be a part of the season 5 reunion.

“Watching myself on screen, I am confronted with a reality that’s hard to accept. The woman I see isn't someone I recognised or respect,” wrote the show's OG.

Williams continued to share that although she’s played a role in shaping the show’s narrative, she believes she’s also a product of the show’s dynamics.

“The relentless pursuit of drama, the pitting women against each other, the gossip and the put-downs - it’s a toxic cycle that wears me down.”

She explained that she wants to be a better role model to her children and uphold her responsibility to herself, her faith, her children, and her community.
