Brittish Williams opened up about her arrest on federal fraud charges during an emotional scene of “Basketball Wives.”
We previously reported the entrepreneur and reality TV star was arrested on October 7, 2021, on a laundry list of charges ranging from bank fraud to identity theft.
Brittish was indicted on a total of 18 charges including:
- Five felony charges of misuse of a Social Security number
- Four charges of bank fraud
- Three charges of making false statements to the IRS
- Three charges of wire fraud
- Three charges of aggravated identity theft
Prosecutors say the former reality TV star used false Social Security numbers in 2017 to obtain lines of credit, loans, and other funds from banks.
In 2018 and 2019, she allegedly deposited four checks between the amounts of $4,500 and $5,800 into accounts she controlled. Then, she withdrew the money before the checks bounced or the bank realized the checks were fraudulent.
The owners of the checks were unaware of the deposits.
Brittish Williams is also accused of falsely claiming dependents on her 2017-2019 tax returns using false names and Social Security numbers.
During Monday night’s episode of “Basketball Wives,” Brittish cried as she detailed her experience of being arrested and riding in the patrol car to the jail.
She also shared the moment she felt her father’s presence that let her know everything was going to be alright.

If Brittish Williams is innocent, I hope that her legal team will be able to fight to prove her innocence.
Scamming Season is in full effect and the Feds Watching.
