Former NBA player Eric Williams is knee deep in debt and is reportedly homeless.
Williams was ordered to appear in court earlier this month for not paying over $24,000 in unpaid child support to the mother of his 13-year-old. He was absent during the court appearance and later supplied a letter to the judge to explain why.
In legal documents, he admitted that he is homeless because “a court-ordered citation for me to appear was not delivered to my home address as I have no home.”
Besides not having a roof over his head, he says he does not have money for airfare to make court dates or hire a lawyer to handle the case.
He closes the letter explaining he is a volunteer at an unnamed nonprofit organization writing, “I’m in the rebuilding stages of my life.”
The basketball player started his NBA career for the Boston Celtics before retiring from the league after a 12 year career. He later appeared on VH1 reality show Basketball Wives as Jennifer Williams’ husband. Their very public and very messy relationship was documented during the four seasons the couple appeared. The pair finalized their divorce during season four, the couple’s last, of the series. She is rumored to have earned $14 million in the settlement and is doing well with her cosmetics line Lucid.
