Former Basketball Wives star Brittish Cierrah Williams was sentenced to four years in prison for her involvement in tax fraud, bank fraud, insurance fraud and pandemic-related scams.
Back in May, we reported that Brittish copped to bank fraud, misusing social security numbers, sending phony bills for health insurance payouts and even confessed to lying to the IRS and on applications for federal loans.
Prosecutors say the star made false statements on tax returns from 2016 to 2019, reporting that her businesses made around $15,000 when they actually made hundreds of thousands of dollars. She also falsely claimed two children as her dependents.
“Brittish Williams was getting paid to portray her celebrity lifestyle on “Basketball Wives” when in fact she was a typical fraudster,” said Special Agent in Charge Jay Greenberg of the FBI St. Louis Division. “After today’s sentencing, her reality is now a life of a felon.”
The reality star will also on supervised release for five years after her release from prison and was ordered to pay $564,069 in restitution.
