FRAIL “King Richard” Williams is determined to press ahead with the divorce from his ex-stripper wife after he claims she stole his mansion and racked up debts of over $600k with a key hearing on Thursday, The U.S. Sun can reveal.
The pair have been warring for the last six years in family and civil courts after tennis star Serena’s dad found out his younger spouse Lakeisha forged the title deeds on his Florida home into her name, remortgaged the property for $279k, and blew the lot on a failed trucking business and “fast food”, according to court docs.

She borrowed the home loan from “hard lender” David Simon, but allegedly failed to keep up with the repayment plan, and he filed a lawsuit for the original amount plus interest and attorney fees.
Richard and his son Chavoita Lesane alleged the “house theft” was just the tip of the iceberg and she’d been forging his social security checks and selling his cars behind his back, promising to file a elder abuse lawsuit, which has so far failed to materialize.
Chavoita previously told The U.S. Sun: “I can’t remember how long it was into the relationship as far as my dad starting to have financial headaches, like, ‘What’s going on with my social security checks?’
“Lakeisha took the Mercedes, she took the bus, she took money, what else was it? The motorcycle. This whole situation has been frustrating.”
The 81-year-old filed for divorce in May 2017, but it’s been dragging through the courts ever since, as Lakeisha has dug her heels in, filing a motion for the case to be dismissed in June claiming “undue influence/duress on the husband by third parties”.
It even looked like the pair had reunited after she posted two photos of the couple on Instagram in May, which shows them driving on a family day out with their son Dylan, 12, and also posing arm-in-arm.
But Richard filed an affidavit in August that he wanted to proceed with the dissolution – and a hearing is scheduled for next Thursday.
The pair met while Lakeisha was a Miami nightclub dancer called Angel and is nearly half Richard’s age at 45.
Earlier this month, she celebrated her birthday in a wild night out with friends judging by pics posted online.
Lakeisha is dressed in a black corset underneath a sequined see-through dress, wiggling her bum in one shot and posing in front of a luxury car in another.
The contrast couldn’t be more stark with Richard’s latest selfie on Facebook.
The legendary tennis coach has suffered two strokes and is currently living at a nearby home owned by Serena.
His doctor, Monica Walker said he also had the early onset of dementia and irreparable brain damage.
Dr Walker wrote a letter to the courts explaining her assessment of his health, saying: “As you are well aware, you suffered damage to your brain tissue during a stroke. The complications after the stroke included the inability to remember things that happened recently and incidents that happened years ago.
“You will remember, immediately after the stroke, your muscles weakened and slowly you were able to regain strength. You also have problems speaking and finding the right word to use.
“You have recovered from problems forming your words. However, you have not recovered from what is called dementia.
“Your mental state since the first stroke includes loss of recent and remote memory and increased confusion during times of increased demands for concentration.”
