Serena Williams’ 75 Year Old Father Files for Divorce from Third Wife… Find out Why

Richard Williams, the father of tennis superstars, Serena and Venus Williams, has filed for divorce from his much younger third wife, Lakeisha Williams.

In his petition, the 75-year-old tennis coach often credited with training his daughter into tennis superstars, believes his 38-year-old wife of seven years is an alcoholic.

Dailymail reports exclusively that Williams is also accusing her of “robbing him blind.” He claims she stole his social security checks and transferred ownership of their cars and a house to herself by forging his signature.

It was also gathered that Williams, who married Lakeisha in 2010, also claims that she moved out of their home last year, leaving their now 5-year-old son, Dylan, in his exclusive care.

Lakeisha is barely older than his two daughters – Serena is 35 and Venus will turn 37 on Saturday.

Williams also alleges she left him for ‘a new person’ who has ‘serious criminal, felony charges pending who could impose a danger to the minor child,’ the document reads.

Reports also claim that when they reached Lakeisha on her cellphone, she said she couldn’t talk and hung up.

But her attorney, Sandy Becher, told TMZ:

“All of the allegations are false and will be proven to be false when we litigate the case in court. Richard is just trying to avoid paying child support and alimony.”
