Serena Williams’ stepmom shows off glam lifestyle that left her $600k in debt and close to losing star’s childhood home

SERENA Williams’ stepmom Lakeisha has seemingly been having a wild time since splitting up from her husband “King Richard,” whom she calls a “deadbeat dad” for leaving her and their young son five years ago.

Tennis legend, Richard, walked out after discovering that his wife Lakeisha had faked his signature on the title deeds of his home in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, to transfer it into her name.

She borrowed $279,000 from hard lender, David Simon, who has since been trying to claw back his money through the courts, with the debt now standing at $623,000, including interest and attorney fees.

Now, Lakeisha is on the verge of losing the home, which has been in the Williams family since 1995.

She’s also been accused of selling his cars and cashing social security checks behind his back, with his son Chavoita Lesane vowing to file an elder abuse lawsuit soon.

But that all seemed to have dramatically changed last week when Lakeisha posted two photos of the still-married couple on her Instagram page, which shows them driving on a family day out with their son, Dylan, 10, and then posing together arm-in-arm with her claiming they’re reunited.

However, Chavoita claims that the former pair is “back on better terms,” although they are not romantically reunited “to his knowledge” despite the photos.

Until those posts, Richard hadn’t been seen for years on Lakeisha’s social media pages.

She appears to be having the time of her life and is clearly proud of where she is today after meeting her husband, now 81, when she was working as a stripper under the name Angel at a Miami nightclub.

Lakeisha, who is 44-years-old, and 37 years his junior, isn’t afraid of embracing her past.

She is often pictured drinking champagne and cocktails in gentlemen’s clubs and videoing herself gyrating on the dance floor or in the VIP sections showing off her professional moves.

Lakeisha and Richard’s son is also the focus of her social media focus, along with her partying.

While Lakeisha is currently singing Richard’s praises, that wasn’t the case in 2018 when she accused him of walking out on the family on Instagram in two separate posts.

In one, she’s playing tennis with Dylan, captioning it with the hashtag “dead beat dad,” saying: “I’m the Mama, Daddy & Couch right now! We coming!!!”

In another, she quotes the bible, writing: “Dylan we gone be [all right] baby. Man left us but God got us. They did it to Jesus. I see why its hard for a rich man to [enter’ into God’s Kingdom. Richard Williams wants NO DEALING WITH OUR 5 YEAR OLD SON.”

Now, what happens with the pair remains to be seen, as it’s not clear if Richard and Chavoita will go through with their elder abuse lawsuit.

They spoke exclusively to The U.S. Sun earlier this year to claim that her fraud extends to cashing social security checks and stealing his cars.

Lakeisha admitted in court testimony to selling one Bluebird motor home because Richard left her and Dylan with no food.

Chavoita said: “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.

“There are so many things that she stole or forged documents for him. That’s considered elder abuse.

“We’re just putting all of it together, it’s a lot. This whole situation has been frustrating.”

In March, The U.S. Sun also revealed that before she met Richard, Lakeisha had lost another home in Fort Lauderdale, racking up $203k debt, faced seven lawsuits from angry creditors, including American Express and debt collectors, and had a grocery store that financially fell apart.

Lakeisha is being hit from all angles but is digging in.

She’s delaying the sale of the house by repeatedly trying to file for bankruptcy, and the third attempt is dragging through the courts.

She’s currently living in a small outhouse on her husband’s former property, which lies in such a state of disrepair due to her negligence, that it’s only worth half its $1.4million value.

Chavoita explains: “As far as I know, Lakeisha is living in what we call the ‘dog house’ next to the main house now.

“My dad converted a clubhouse into a small studio and I have been told she’s living there with Betty. They are just playing games.”
