Lorenzo Gordon, Brittish Williams's former boyfriend, alleged that her current boyfriend threatened to kill him. He also said that one of the reasons that he is unable to meet his daughter is because he wants to maintain peace.

Sometimes it is hard to understand why Brittish Williams was on the "Basketball Wives" reality TV show. Little is known about her partner. However, if anything was left of her former partner’s fame, she called him out on social media. The "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars" star alleged that Gordon was not sending her the child support:

“Public service announcement, my baby daddy is a b**ch, let’s make that very f**king clear. I do not talk to you, I do not bother you…You don’t get your f**king child, you don’t take care of her, you don’t send no money, you don’t do sh*t.”

Gordon has been playing internationally for the past few years. He has played for multiple teams, including Gothia in Sweden and Fraport Skyliners, the German basketball club. He also played for Unieuro Forli, the Italian basketball club. Gordon has never played in the NBA.
