ST. LOUIS (AP) — A former cast member of the reality TV show “Basketball Wives LA” has been sentenced to four years in prison for 15 fraud-related felonies, including schemes connected to the COVID-19 pandemic. Brittish Williams of St. Louis was sentenced Thursday. She pleaded guilty in May to five federal counts of misuse of a Social Security number, four counts of bank fraud, three counts of making false statements to the IRS and three counts of wire fraud. Assistant U.S. Attorney Diane Klocke says the actions took place over roughly a decade, and the crimes continued even after Williams was indicted. U.S. District Judge Henry E. Autrey also ordered Williams to pay restitution of $565,000.
