Venus and Serena’s Dad’s Ugly Split With His Young Baby Mama

If you knew family hormonal brewmaster Richard Williams had a wife the same age as his daughter Venus and a new young kid, you know more about the Williams family than you ought. 

75-year old Richard Williams and his young wife Lakeisha are embroiled in an ugly divorce battle since Richard Williams filed papers to dissolve the marriage earlier this summer. Williams claims his lovely bride and mother of his now five-year old kid is an alcoholic whose sole purpose in life is to steal his shit. You know, unlike other young women who marry wealthier geriatrics for true love. Lakeisha Williams claims Richard is a completely absent father, cut her and the kid off from cash, and, by the way, is collecting AK-47’s and acting crazy. The latter certainly worth noting in an era when gunmen tee off on crowds of innocents and the murderer’s family and friends all say they saw no warning signs.

Richard and Lakeisha have yet to settle their divorce, but have come together in a joint restraining order request requiring each no contact with the other. Lest they kill one another. Which would settle the divorce quicker, but I’m just musing. These seem like they should be automatically handed out by the courts in all gold-digger divorce proceedings.

The word visionary is tossed around far too easily in modern lingo, but applies to Richard Williams. He saw an opportunity to take his two oversized daughters out of Compton, juice up to and beyond the Hulk line, and dominate the heretofore petite white chick sport of tennis. In the process, why not get a little good life for himself? Technically speaking, making babies in your seventies and stockpiling rifles in the guest room are equally bad ideas.
