As former “Basketball Wives” star Brittish Williams serves her sentence for fraud, her ex-fiancé and the father of her child, Lorenz Gordon, has also been convicted of similar crimes.
Gordon, a former professional basketball player who gained public attention through his appearances on television alongside Williams, recently pleaded guilty to pandemic-related fraud charges. The 41-year-old resident of Chesterfield, Missouri, confessed in U.S. District Court to stealing more than $250,000 in federal aid intended to help businesses survive the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a shocking revelation, Gordon admitted to fraudulently securing two Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans and three Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL). He exploited three businesses—Logo Fitness LLC, Elite 50 Basketball Training LLC, and Elite Health and Fitness Company LLC—to obtain $107,074 in PPP funds and $165,700 in EIDL loans and advances.
Gordon and Williams were a well-known couple on shows like “Basketball Wives” and “Marriage Bootcamp,” but their relationship ended after infidelity allegations. In 2023, Williams herself pleaded guilty to multiple fraud-related charges, including misuse of a Social Security number, bank fraud, and wire fraud. Her criminal activities, which spanned a decade and began long before the pandemic, resulted in a four-year prison sentence and a court order to repay $565,000 in restitution.
