As the drama around the childhood home of Venus and Serena Williams continues, new things have been coming up. And these are not looking too good for their stepmother Lakeisha Graham. The messy divorce and forging of signatures of Richard Williams in itself has garnered a lot of negative light on Graham. But now, instead of finding a way out of the $1.4 million mess, she is happily taking a dip in the sea.

This might not be a good thing for her as public opinion in itself is severely against her. And in addition to that, she is happy to take a break for herself from all the drama, which is aggravating the situation even more.

The stepmother of Venus and Serena Williams has accepted that she forged the signature of her husband, Richard Williams. This led to the transfer of their family home in Palm Beach Gardens to her name. Following that, she took a mortgage from a “hard lender” Simon. Now, she is entangled in a $1.4 million mess. Above that, Richard Williams has filed an “elder abuse” lawsuit against her. However, all this does not seem to phase her at all.

Graham has a huge liability that she had even before meeting Richard Williams

When Richard Williams met Lakeisha Graham, he was not aware of what he was getting into. He most probably was not aware of the fact that she already has a mounting debt of $500,000.

Even before she met Richard Williams, she had worked with her so-called “aunt”, Betty Dowling. With her, she has made multiple questionable deals and is now quite in a pickle together.
