Brittish Williams’ fraud case seems to be messing up her bag!

The latest court documents obtained by @RadarOnline reveal that Williams recently asked a federal court judge to modify the condition of her release while out awaiting trial on identity theft charges. As it was previously reported, a judge has ordered Williams to be subject to electronic monitoring and a curfew. However, Williams claims this is “significantly hampering her career opportunities and preventing her from being as successful and productive as she might otherwise be.”

Williams says she lost out on a major partnership deal with Rihanna’s lingerie company, Savage X Fenty because she could not appear in the photos with her ankle bracelet. “This lost opportunity cost Ms. Williams at least $30,000 with additional payments that would have been available for Instagram appearances and posts” her motion states. Her lawyer added, “Ms. Williams has also had offers to appear as a model and spokesperson for products by Fashion Nova and Pretty Little Thing Clothing. Again, the offers from these companies were delayed due to the presence of the ankle bracelet. Again, this cost Ms. Williams tens of thousands of dollars in income to which she would have otherwise been eligible.”

To make matters worse, it’s also messing up her work with the VH1 show. Her lawyer says that her job as a Basketball Wives cast member requires her to shoot for the series and appear for a number of red-carpet events. Due to the bracelet, it has created problems with producers. “The producers of the show do not want the ankle monitor to be visible,” her lawyer wrote. “This creates stark limitations on the outfits and costuming that Ms. Williams can utilize. Ms. Williams does not engage in work for which she gets to choose her own outfits and clothes.”

A judge has yet to rule on this.

What Happened To Her?

Back in October, Williams was indicted on federal charges by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri. She was accused of misuse of a social security number, bank fraud, making false statements to the IRS, wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, the news site notes.
The reality star has since plead not guilty to all charges.
