Why was Brittish Williams on basketball wives? Closer look at reality TV star's run on the show

Brittish Williams was on two seasons of the reality television series "Basketball Wives." Williams first appeared in the third season before returning last year for the 10th season. But why was Williams on "Basketball Wives" and which player is she married to?

According to a lot of reports, Williams was never married to an NBA star. She was previously engaged to Lorenzo Gordon, a 14-year pro basketball player overseas. The couple broke up on Gordon's 32nd birthday due to his alleged unfaithfulness to her.

Williams and Gordon were together for about four years and were engaged for two years. They also have a daughter together, but she previously accused him of not providing any child support payments.

"Public service announcement, my baby daddy is a b*tch," Williams said on social media. "Let's make that very f*cking clear. I do not talk to you, I do not bother you. …You don't get your f*cking child. You don't take care of her. You don't send no money. You don;t do sh*t."

Brittish Williams and Lorenzo Gordon also appeared as a couple for 10 episodes of the reality television show "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars" in 2016. In last season's "Basketball Wives," it was said that Williams and Gordon continue to co-parent their daughter.

Gordon played college basketball for Illinois State University and Oklahoma City University. He was drafted by the Oklahoma Storm of the United States Basketball League in 2006.

The St. Louis native played the majority of his career overseas in countries such as Argentina, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Russia, Sweden and Turkey. He last played for the Ramat Hasharon of the Israeli National League during the 2016-17 season.

Five months after pleading guilty to multiple fraud-related felonies, Brittish Williams was sentenced to four years in prison. Williams ran schemes that defrauded banks, credit card companies and insurance companies.

The 33-year-old was also ordered to pay $565,000 in restitution fees by U.S. District Judge Henry E. Autrey. Williams' schemes reportedly operated for more than a decade and it even continued after she was indicted several months ago.

"You knew what you were doing. You knew it was wrong and you did it anyway," Autrey said during the sentencing.

In an episode of "Basketball Wives" last season, Williams also admitted to spending time in federal prison. It's unknown when she served the sentence, but she promised in an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she wouldn't commit any crimes in the future.
