“Last night was the most beautiful sunset in Sherman Oaks with special people. Thank you, California! You’ve won me over! I’ll be back for the Hip Hop Festival in August!” she wrote.
Williams labeled her companion a “very sexy man” in a hashtag, adding in another that she’s “old enough to be your mother.”
He later served fifteen months for the two convictions and was released in 2014, Bossip reported.
Tomblin’s run-in with the law comes as no surprise to Williams, who toldTMZon Tuesday she was already privy to his past.
“I am a 54-year-old grown a— woman,” she said. “I know what I’m doing.”
She said the two were simply enjoying each other’s company, noting that after what she has been through, she thinks she deserves to have a little fun.
