Last month former Basketball Wives LA cast member Brittish Williams was arrested and taken into custody for falling to surrender to authorities, after being granted a delay, to begin her four year prison sentence after a conviction on fraud charges [click here if you missed that].
In a hearing this week Brittish apologized to the court and blamed her failing to show up on a miscommunication...
A reality TV star who became famous after appearing on the VH1 show “Basketball Wives” is headed to prison after apologizing to a judge for not showing up on time to begin her sentence.
On Tuesday, she was in court and her Chicago-based attorney, Michael J. Thompson, explained that a “miscommunication” about a request to delay her report date caused her to not show up. It was not Williams’ intent to ignore a court order, he said.
“I would apologize to the court on Ms. Williams’ behalf,” Thompson said.
She was arrested Jan. 12 and has been in a local jail while awaiting Tuesday’s hearing for a judge to take the procedural step of revoking her bond so she could be sent off to prison at a minimum-security camp in West Virginia.
Williams’ attorneys have said in filings that they plan to appeal her sentence.
