Where Are They Now? 11 Of The Most Rachet, Lovable and Controversial Black Folks From “The Real World”

Stephen Williams

A very controversial cast member, Stephen Williams stepped in the stoplight when he was a member of “The Real World” cast in Seattle. Williams really played into an ugly stereotype when he fell out with outgoing cast member Irene. He berated the young woman as she announced that she was leaving the house, and when she prepared to depart, she threw her own shade by telling him that a marriage between them wouldn’t work because he was a “homosexual.” Safe to say, Stephen didn’t like that ish. He took a left over stuffed animal of Irene’s and threw it into water, and then, as she was leaving in a car, he ran up to the vehicle, opened the door and slapped her in the face. He was allowed to stay in the house, but of course, Stephen’s behavior made him one of the more infamous characters in “Real World” history. Where is he now? After being arrested for prostitution in 2001, ironically, Williams came out of the closet in 2008 and told the world that he was engaged to be married to a man as well. Guess that makes the whole slap 10 times worse since homegirl was right all along…
