According to legal documents, former NBA player & “Basketball Wives” star Eric Williams (who spent 12 seasons in league) says he is homeless and broke. I guess this would explain why he can’t pay the child support that he owes (if he’s not lying). I hope current athletes are paying attention. Hit the jump for details…
Via TMZ:
Williams — who also appeared on “Basketball Wives” — made the shocking statements in a letter he wrote to a Colorado court recently explaining why he could not attend a child support hearing in CO earlier this month.
Among the reasons, Williams says a “court-ordered citation for me to appear was not delivered to my home address as I have no home.”
Williams — who’s on the hook for more than $24k in unpaid support to the mother of his 13-year-old son — also says his financial situation is so dire, he can’t afford airfare and has no money to pay a lawyer.
In his letter, Williams says he is currently a volunteer at an unnamed non-profit organization — and says, “I’m in the rebuilding stages of my life.”
