Tennis phenoms Serena and Venus Williams' father, Richard Williams, has been trying to get out of his third marriage, to his much younger wife Lakiesha Graham, for nearly 7 years [click here if you missed that].
The divorce hits another snag after Lakiesha is dumped by her attorney...
From The Sun
SERENA Williams’ ex-stripper stepmom has been ditched by her divorce lawyer and hit with a lien for unpaid fees as she desperately clings onto her marriage to “King Richard” and the tennis ace’s childhood home.
Former nightclub dancer Lakeisha Williams, 45, has been ditched by the attorney representing her in the seven-year divorce war with tennis coach Richard Williams, 81.
Richard filed for divorce in 2017 after learning that his wife had allegedly faked his signature on the title deeds, transferred his Palm Beach house into her name, and taken out a $279,000 mortgage with lender David Simon, which she blew on a disastrous trucking business.
Frail Richard, who’s had two strokes and suffers from dementia, and his son Chavoita Lesane, learned that she’d allegedly been selling his vehicles behind his back and cashing his social security checks.
Lakeisha claimed in court docs that it was because Richard had left her and their son Dylan, 12, starving.
Only by filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy for a third time has it stopped the four-bed mansion from going into foreclosure, as Simon has sued her for the return of his loan, which once stood at over $620,000 including interest and attorney fees.
To complicate matters even further, her divorce lawyer - whose surname is Lawrence but whose first name is unknown - has now filed a motion to withdraw and a motion for an attorney’s charging lien.
This happens when a client doesn’t pay their fees and so an attorney acquires an interest in the court’s judgment to reclaim the money they’re owed.
This could mean that Lakeisha’s legal fees are paid out of anything she gets from the divorce settlement.
Lawrence isn’t the first to dump Lakeisha, as her original attorney in the case against Simon, Richard Wolfe, withdrew citing “irreconcilable differences.”

When trapping your sugar daddy goes wrong...smfh he's twice her age
The Williams sisters need to pay her off so she'll move on. Some families who are new to having big money just don't get it.
You seldom hear about these stories with people who've had money for generations. They pay people off when they're foolish enough to get entrapped by playas.
6:21am no when a sugar daddy trying to trade a young woman goes wrong we see right now all over social
Media black man telling other black men they need to get younger women, because they are moldable and teachable what they failed to realize is that a younger woman doesn’t want anything they have but their money, and they’ll play alone to get along but that’s not the young woman trying to trap them these old men pursue young women, and we know that’s how it goes in our community this man was a piece of crap. He left his first family walked completely out on them said he was going to get a bike and never came back from the store. Those kids and that wife never heard from him again other than when he wanted to get his divorce , this is nothing but his karma but I don’t even think he’s in his right mind to even know what’s going on at this point so therefore his daughters have to suffer for what he’s done
It's a two-way street. He's old and wants someone younger/newer. She's young and wants a bag and security. They had a deal and should have make provisions for when the deal was over.
And it's not just in our communities. Generally, this is the deal with men around the world. They have money and power and use it to get the kind of women they want.
@7:38, who they daddy f'ing is not they problem, they told him dont marry her in the first place. He grown and been grown. You cant be responsible for all your parents affairs, they are taking care of him I'm sure but not his women. Beyonce dont take care of her daddys other childs moma and she been came out and said Matthew dont take care of her or the child.
dude look like the missing link
@10:24. It is their problem. The only reason it’s in the media is because it’s their dad. No one would care if it was my father or you father. It’s their problem because it affects their brand and their money. It affects how investors see them.
If there’s a company that wants to partner with them, a company the Williams sisters may want to invest in, a company they want support from, etc. Companies don’t want to mess with you when you have problems like these.
Vanessa Bryant is one who seems to be learning. I think she finally paid off her mama and mama is no longer on social media moaning and groaning. Now Vanessa can focus on her Nepo chir’ren and special projects without a lot of bad press.
Looking at Richard we all can see she is a gold digger. Ain’t no way!!
