Lakeisha
Juanita Williams,
the stepmother of Serena Williams, alleged in court documents the
tennis star's legal team ordered her and her step brother to evacuate
from
her marital home following her separation from Serena's father.
On
Wednesday, TMZ Sports reported Serena's attorneys "threatened to change
the locks" on the house she shares with Williams' father if the stepmom
didn't vacate the property.
Lakeisha,
38, who filed an emergency court order after Serena’s lawyers gave her 30 days
(until Sept. 2) to vacate the West Palm Beach, Florida house, refused to move,
saying she has nowhere else to go.
The mother
of one who got married to Serena’s father Richard Williams,75, in
2010, is also seeking a court ruling to sell the home because she needs money
following the couple's divorce filing in June.
Richard’s
divorce petition cites infidelity and accused Lakeisha of stealing his social
security number and forging his name on a Quit Claim deed, which would have
given her ownership of their house.
The petition
also claimed Lakeisha was an alcoholic who left him for a man who “could pose a
danger to the minor child.”
An attorney
for Lakeisha accused Serena of “bullying and kicking the wife and the child to
the curb, and during the school year no less!”
He is
seeking an emergency stay of the eviction and asked a judge to allow his client
to live at the marital residence “free from intimidation and threats to be
thrown out”.
The lavish
West Palm Beach house in Florida, is owned by Serena Williams,
who welcomed her first child with fiancé and Reddit co-founder Alexis
Ohanian in Florida on Sept. 1
