“Basketball Wives” Jennifer Williams has filed a lawsuit against Evelyn Lozada’s assistant Nia Crooks who slapped her on the April 16 episode of the VH1 show.

The ex-BFF of Evelyn Lozada, has also filed a complaint with the state attorney’s office in Florida, said lawyer Sanford Rubenstein.

“Violence used against any person is wrong but when a woman hits another woman it sets a horrible example for young girls everywhere,” Williams told the Daily News.

“I choose to use the justice system to fight back,” she said in an exclusive interview.

Jenn claims she is still suffering from a whiplash-like neck injury and post traumatic stress stemming from the slap, which was seen in the episode that aired Monday.

“I was sitting at the conference room table and this girl starts arguing with me out of nowhere,” Williams recalled. “She’s not even on the show.”
