It’s a beautiful day every day for most people except Brittish Williams.
The former TV personality has been on house arrest since she admitted to her crimes. Some sources say she currently awaits sentencing, but things look bad.
In the meantime, Williams is concerned about her productivity and how it is affected by the house arrest. She reportedly missed a potential $30,000 deal with Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty.
According to her, this was because they couldn’t conceal her ankle monitor in what would have been a promotional shoot. She has tried to get the court to modify the conditions of her house arrest with little luck.
Keep reading to find out who she is and the crimes she committed.
Who Is Brittish Williams?
Brittish Williams is a TV personality who rose to fame after she got involved with Lorenzo Gordon, a professional basketball player. As a result of their union, she got featured in VH1’s “Basketball Wives” show.
Williams first joined the cast in 2014 when she got engaged to Gordon. Since then, Williams has become a favorite of many. Thanks to her sometimes chaotic life, the show has seen some pretty exciting plot points, and she has gained more fame.
Brittish Williams and Lorenzo Gordon’s Relationship
Williams and Gordon were great together. So great that they were considering marriage. After Gordon proposed in 2014, fans expected to hear wedding bells, but that never happened.
Indeed, their engagement was called off, and according to sources, Williams called for the split. Apparently, she found out that Gordon was unfaithful, which was a deal breaker for her. In a now-deleted Instagram post in 2016, Williams revealed how she caught her man talking to other women.
In the same post, she claimed that her grandmother had also overheard a woman discussing spending time with Gordon while they were engaged. Things have been dicey between the former couple since their breakup, but they have a child together, so their lives will remain forever bound. It’s not an easy pill to swallow, as they have bad blood between them from their breakup.
In 2020, Gordon claimed that Williams’ boyfriend had threatened to harm him in front of their daughter. By then, it was clear that the two were never getting back together, and they have since moved on while co-parenting their kid.
Does Brittish Williams Have a Husband?
No, Brittish Williams does not currently have a husband. However, during one of her Instagram “Girl Talk” sessions, she urged her fellow women to stay alert around men that play games.
While some have been doing that, Williams has been in the market for a new man and may have found one. Judging from her Instagram posts, another man may be in her life.
In one post, Williams wrote, “You know I love Chanel … Daddy keep me in Coco,” with the hashtag #happygirl.
While it does not confirm that Williams has a man, many suspect she does and await the big reveal.
Brittish Williams Kids
At the time of this writing, Brittish Williams only has a daughter, whom she shares with her ex Lorenzo Gordon. Her name is Dash, and she was born on May 13, 2018, which makes her five years old. Dash has appeared on “Basketball Wives” a few times, allowing viewers to see how doting Williams is as a mother.
What Happened to Brittish Williams?
According to a statement released by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of Missouri, Brittish Williams admitted to five counts of misuse of a Social Security number, four counts of bank fraud, three counts of making false statements to the IRS, and three counts of wire fraud.
Some of the crimes Williams allegedly admitted to include underreporting her income on tax returns between 2017-2019; falsely claiming her niece and nephew as dependents, which led to $29,366 in taxes owed; and using Social Security numbers not her own to open bank accounts and lines of credit, and deposit checks taken from other peoples’ accounts behind their backs, amounting to $23,850 in losses.
Ultimately, the DOJ calculated almost $446,000 in losses thanks to her fraudulent actions. She is scheduled to be sentenced on August 23, 2023, and faces years in prison.
Charges of misusing a Social Security number and making false statements carry a potential penalty of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Bank fraud charges carry penalties of up to 30 years in prison, a $1-million fine, or both.
The wire fraud charges carry a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a $ 1 million fine. She may face over 70 years in jail and is already over 30. That math spells disaster, but her fans hope the court will be lenient.
Other famous faces with such brushes with the law include Tim Allen, Lindsay Lohan, and Martha Stewart.
