Williams representatives explained the charges brought against her.
"She is charged with one misdemeanor count of simple battery stemming from an incident that occurred during the taping of the Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion episode," her representatives told E! "Cast member Kenya Moore sought out the warrant and, although the claim is unfounded, Ms. Williams is fully cooperating with investigators and looks forward to clearing her name."

After sources like Radar Online, Us Weekly and TMZ shared the news complete with accounts of what took place from anonymous witnesses, fans will get the opportunity to witness their encounter this Sunday on the reunion episode.
Moore previously spoke up about the matter on Twitter.
"#TeamTwirl one thing u will NEVER see me do is fight," Moore tweeted. "Your brain and tongue are your most powerful weapons."
Bravo Network executive Andy Cohen hosted the reunion special and commented about the rumors concerning Williams being booted from the series due to the altercation.
"In terms of casting for next season, we haven't made any of those decisions yet.We wait until the season is over, over, over," Cohen told Bravo's The Dish. "We kind of regroup. We look back at the season. We look ahead to what these women have going on in their lives and that's when we assess."
