That said, Williams, recently opened up about her reality TV experiences.
According to her, it has been a journey of self-discovery, forcing her to confront aspects of herself she might have otherwise overlooked.
“It has helped me to look at myself honestly and shown me the things that I had to work on and improve about myself to become a better person.
“The thing about reality is that it shows you things that you might not have been aware of; it literally forces you to face things that you would not have normally addressed. she expressed.
“That has helped me grow as a daughter, mother, sister and friend.”
She further explained that while RHOD can be emotionally intense, the “Ultimate Girls Trip” was a refreshing change of pace, focused on bonding and making memories.
She shared: “Filming ‘Durban’ can be intense because there is a lot of history there; so much has happened between us and it gets too real. With ‘Ultimate Girls Trip’, it was different and fun. The ladies were down to have a good time and connect.
“In this space, I was introduced to ladies who I did not know before, so it was like starting with a clean slate and building new relationships. For the first time in a while, people experienced me as I am, and I made genuine friendships.”
As for being thrust into the limelight with the reality show, Williams admitted: “I try not to read negative things but sometimes the things that people say about me affect me.
“For the most part, I handle it well, but I am a human. At some point it hits but I have learned not to let it affect me too much. As long as it does not affect my children and work, I am good.
