Now Brittish is trying to appeal her sentence...
From Radar Online
Basketball Wives star Brittish Williams asked a higher court to review her 4-year prison sentence — in an attempt to have her time behind bars decreased.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the reality star's lawyer filed an appeal of the sentence handed down on October 24 in federal court.
Her lawyer noted Williams wants the appellate court to review whether the lower court judge used the proper guidelines when sentencing her.
As we previously reported, in an indictment, Williams was accused of bank and wire fraud. Prosecutors claimed she misused social security numbers and made false statements to the IRS.
The Basketball Wives star initially pleaded not guilty but later reached a plea deal.
As part of her plea, Williams admitted she under-reported her income on her tax returns for 2017-2019 and falsely claimed relatives as dependents.
In addition, she allegedly "fraudulently used Social Security numbers not assigned to her to open accounts with credit card companies and banks.
Prosecutors said Williams used stolen Social Security numbers to commit bank fraud. The indictment also said Williams lied to obtain $144k in pandemic loans. On top of that, prosecutors said she submitted forged medical bills in an insurance scam where her and another associate were paid $140k.
Following the hearing, her lawyer Beau Brindley claimed his client was treated unfairly.
“Brittish Williams was punished today, not for fraud, but for her celebrity," he said. "The Court chose to treat her more harshly due to her status as a public figure rather than treating similarly situated defendants equally.”
“Ms. Williams success is not a crime subject to enhanced penalty. And we will challenge this sentence through every legal means available,” Brindley added.

how, sway
Punished for her celebrity? Unless you ghetto you never heard of her.
With all that she did, she's lucky she's only getting four years! And her atty seems like he got an attitude about her sentencing. With all that she did, no one in her camp should go in to court with a tude!!! She needs an additional four years tacked on for the atty's stank attitude!
Lock her a$$ up!!!!
Celebrity? Brittish is a funny body built bum who sold her soul to get on a low level reality show. A celebrity she is not. Maybe hood famous but certainly not a celebrity. It's obvious she's guilty but won't admit it and the courts hate that. A federal appeal? LMAO, yea, good luck with that. Girl, do the time and come out and turn your life around.
Something about this thief is annoying. Do the time and move on.
