In her time on Basketball Wives L.A., Brittish Williams was known for her short-lived engagement to NBA star Lorenzo Gordon, her distaste for “dry hellos” and her penchant for fighting at Moroccan-themed parties. But now she might be best known as the only cast member doing serious time in prison.

In a St. Louis, Missouri court on Wednesday, Williams pleaded guilty to 15 felonies, including 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.

Her plea states that she used more than $140,000 in pandemic disaster loans to fund her lifestyle, submitted $139,000 in fake medical bills, underreported her earnings and evaded paying nearly $30,000 in taxes.

Williams appeared on Basketball Wives in 2022, where her legal issues were a plot point. On the show, she discussed her indictment, saying, “I walk out of court and by the time I get home, the entire f—ing world knows I just was indicted. I’m scared. I’m frustrated. I just don’t know where things will be in a couple of months.”

Williams will be sentenced in August, and she faces up to a whopping 75 years in prison: 30 years in prison for the bank fraud charges, 20 years for the wire fraud charges and up to five years each for the five charges of misusing a Social Security number, as well as up to $3.25 million in fines. Jen Shah’s got nothing on her.
