King Richard’s son REVEALS Serena Williams’ stepmom Lakeisha Graham used to work as a ‘stripper’ amid divorce drama
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA: Richard Williams' son, Chavoita LeSane, did not want his father to marry Lakeisha Graham, who reportedly previously worked as a stripper. LeSane dropped the bombshell information before the divorce battle is set to begin. The tennis coach, who trained his daughters Venus and Serena Williams to become legends of the sport, can't wait to finalize his split from his now-estranged wife.
King Richard and Lakeisha reportedly met at a tennis tournament in 2010, where the former was instantly smitten by her, recalling how he found her attractive and was keen to pursue a relationship. While he is reluctant to further discuss his past with Lakeisha or their troubles amid the courtroom drama, Chavoita LeSane reportedly confirmed that his stepmother used to work as a stripper.

'It was his choice to make'
"When I realized who Lakeisha was, I was not really concerned because, my dad, he's a grown man. I mean, we all make our own choices in life," Chavoita LeSane stated, according to The Sun. "So I felt like that was his choice, not my choice. So I felt like he was fully aware of whatever decision he was making, and it was his choice to make. I was thinking he was fully in control of what was going on."
"As far as me learning Lakeisha was a stripper, dancer, or what have you, I never look down on anyone for whatever their profession or life, career, or goals are. It never bothered me," LeSane continued. "The only thing I wanted to make sure of was that they are a great person [for] my dad, that's all I cared about. Me remembering when I first met Keisha is kind of difficult. I just know that Lakeisha's been a thorn in my side. But in the beginning, my dad was very smitten with Keisha. And she seemed to be very taken with my dad." LeSane, however, admitted his friends warned him about Graham's behavior, and that he soon became concerned she wasn't the right woman for his ailing father.
Did Lakeisha Graham work as a stripper in the past?
Another source revealed that Lakeisha worked at a club called Rolexx in Miami, under the name Angel, as reported by The Sun. Court documents obtained by the newspaper revealed how Richard held Lakeisha responsible for liquidating his social security checks and transferring their property to her name. "I don't know what her intentions were in the beginning, but in my opinion, it does not look right," LeSane, a music and film producer, stated when asked if he thought Lakeisha was a gold digger. "Honestly, I never thought my dad would marry Lakeisha. Lakeisha had asked him several times, she was giving him ultimatums and was going to stop seeing him," he added.
LeSane said he knew his dad wasn't going to pay heed to his concerns. He followed his heart and took the holy vows with Graham in a secret ceremony. It's worth noting that the 44-year-old Graham, who is 37 years younger than Richard, described herself as a "dancer" and an "entertainer" in court documents regarding their legal feud. And while it's unclear what she does for a living at this time, she does receive some money from her ex for their son, Dylan, The Sun reported.
