The video was posted to TikTok by a woman named Samirah, who identified herself as Williams’ daughter.
A total of five security officers confronted Williams after she became disruptive inside the casino, according to the Atlantic City Police Department. Officers responded to the resort around 1:30 a.m. Thursday, after Hard Rock reported the disturbance, police said.
The mother and daughter were returning to their room to retrieve their belongings when the guards approached the woman and began tackling her to the ground, according to Samirah.
Williams was treated at a hospital for injuries sustained in the confrontation, according to Samirah.
Williams was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, according to police. She was released with a court date.
Additional information obtained Sunday afternoon reveals that the confrontation occurred after Williams’s hotel room key card stopped working, and she became involved in a dispute with casino staff while attempting to get a new one.
The casino has not said how many security guards have been suspended over the incident.
