Serena and Venus Williams’ Dad Richard, 81, Is Taking Care of Son, 11, ‘Full-time’ as Estranged Wife Allegedly ‘Begs Him’ for More Money: Report
According to Richard’s eldest son, Chavoita Williams, Richard is “terrified” of legal proceedings due to speech problems brought on by numerous strokes.
Chavoita reportedly spoke to his father’s attorney who then convinced the judge to dismiss the divorce proceedings until Chavoita and Richard “figure out the next steps” to refile.
Meanwhile, Chavoita trashed his father’s current wife and claimed that Richard was watching his and Lakeisha’s 11-year-old son, Junior, “seven days a week” while Lakeisha “still begs [Richard] for cash.”
“Every time I turn around, she’s doing the dumbest stuff,” Chavoita told the Sun this week. “She comes to the house; she uses Junior as a pawn and then he’ll end up giving her his card or something.”
“It’s his fault to a degree because he allows her to get the card,” Richard’s eldest son continued. “I tell him: Okay, if she says you can’t see Junior then you just can’t see Junior for a while, and we will go through the courts and deal with it.”
“It’s better than all the stuff that’s happening,” Chavoita added. “I don’t think it would take [the court] long because he’s the primary care provider.”
“He stays with my dad seven days a week. My dad takes him to school, picks him up, my dad would tell you this himself.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Richard Williams married his current wife in 2010 roughly eight years after he divorced Serena and Venus’s mom, Oracle, in 2002.
