Summary

Brittish Williams was an instant standout when she first joined the cast of VH1’s Basketball Wives, a reality series following the wives, girlfriends and exes of professional basketball players. Her relationship with international basketball player Lorenzo Gordon – and her determination to overcome a troubled childhood – quickly resonated with viewers. More than a decade after being kicked off of the show, British makes a shocking return, ushering in a new kind of drama when she is arrested on felony fraud charges. As her legal woes take center stage, her worst fears collide with the ultimate reality-TV paradox: real life becomes more dramatic than anything producers could script.
