Venus and Serena Williams’ father, Richard Williams, is filing for divorce from his wife of seven years, claiming that she has been stealing from him.
The 75-year-old father claimed that 38-year-old Lakeisha Williams has been forging his signature in order to transfer one of his houses into her name, along with cars. He also believes that she has been stealing his Social Security checks.

He also claims that her lifestyle is endangering the 5-year-old son that they have together. He claims that she is now living with someone who is a “serious criminal, felony charges pending” and that she steals his guns and is an alcoholic.
Lakeisha’s attorney, Sandy Becher, told TMZ of the allegations, “All of the allegations are false and will be proven to be false when we litigate the case in court,” adding that the allegations are just Williams’ way of trying to avoid paying alimony and child support.
