Brittish's most recent criminal charges
Brittish Williams is currently in legal limbo, and things aren't looking too good for the reality star. Prosecutors revealed they plan to bring additional criminal charges against her, just weeks before she was set for a trial scheduled to begin on April 17, 2023, in the case accusing her of insurance fraud. According to court reports obtained by RadarOnline, the government has informed the court that it intends to “present a superseding Indictment to a Grand Jury before the trial date for additional charges.” The prosecutors did not reveal which charges they planned to bring in yet. Although Brittish has not given a statement after her most recent charges, her attorney, Beau B. Brindley, told RadarOnline, "The government continues to make allegations that far exceed any actual evidence in their possession. Whatever the new charges may be, we look forward to addressing them."
What are the other charges against Brittish?
Last year, Brittish Williams faced serious legal trouble with the IRS, as she was indicted on a number of charges, including five felony charges for misusing a social security number, four charges of bank fraud, three charges for making false statements to the IRS, three charges of wire fraud, and three charges of aggravated identity theft. She was placed under house arrest, which she found to be restrictive to her ability to work, and even lost out on a potential $30,000 deal with Rihanna's Savage X Fenty due to her ankle monitor. Despite admitting to traveling without approval on two occasions, the judge ultimately granted her request to remove the monitor and avoided putting her in jail, despite the prosecutors' objections. Williams has been candid about her legal troubles with her fans, as evidenced by her recent Instagram post.
