Basketball Wives star Brittish Williams has been released from federal prison and is spending time with family, following her conviction on fraud charges.
Baller Alert posted video on Instagram of the reality TV personality outside prison with her daughter on Tuesday, Aug. 12.
The outlet captioned the post: “Brittish Williams was spotted outside the prison gates on Tuesday. The reality star was spotted in a heartwarming moment with her young daughter just hours after her release, marking her first public appearance since serving time for multiple fraud convictions.”
On Monday, Aug. 18, Williams shared pictures in an Instagram Story of her daughter attending the first day of school.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons website says Williams is enrolled at RRM St Louis, Missouri, which is a residential reentry management (RRM) field office. She will complete her sentence on Dec. 16, 2025, the website says.

Residential reentry programs, also known as halfway houses, “provide assistance to inmates who are nearing release. RRCs provide a safe, structured, supervised environment, as well as employment counseling, job placement, financial management assistance, and other programs and services,” according to the BOP.
A federal judge in St. Louis sentenced Williams to four years in prison on Oct. 24, 2023, for committing $564,000 worth of fraud, including tax fraud, bank fraud, insurance fraud and three separate pandemic fraud schemes.
“Ms. Williams’ criminal actions brought financial harm upon individuals, businesses, and government programs,” Gail S. Ennis, inspector general for the Social Security Administration, said in a statement after Williams was sentenced.
Williams appeared on season 3 of VH1’s Basketball Wives LA in 2014 and returned to the franchise in 2023 for season 10 of Basketball Wives.
She was indicted in September 2021, and initially pleaded not guilty.
Then in May 2023, She reached a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to 15 charges — five 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.
Following her guilty plea, Williams released a statement in a since-deleted Instagram post captured by The Shade Room.
“Anything I went through that a normal person would go through privately, I went through publicly. I hope my story, journey, and my growth can help someone going through something similar,” she wrote. “I am not ashamed, I am not phased by comments or opinions.”
The St. Louis area radio personality was previously engaged to former NBA star Lorenzo Gordon.
In January of this year, he was sentenced to five years of probation, 200 hours of community service and $308,354 in restitution for pandemic loan fraud, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Missouri said in a news release.
