Sunday, September 8, 2024 - Jennifer Williams, star of "Basketball Wives," is facing a major hiccup in her wedding plans after her fiancé, Christian Gold, was sentenced to jail just a week before their scheduled nuptials.
Christian was taken into custody on Friday morning in a
DeKalb County courthouse, Georgia, for violating his probation. The judge
handed him a 15-day sentence, which must have come as a shock for Jennifer, who
was present in court supporting her soon-to-be husband.
However, there’s some relief for the couple. The judge
showed leniency by allowing Christian to serve only 2 days in jail for now, so
he can be temporarily released in time to attend their wedding in Paris, set
for September 14. Despite the outcome, Jennifer kept quiet outside the
courthouse.
While their Paris wedding is still on track, their
post-nuptial plans have taken a hit. After the ceremony, Christian will be
required to return to DeKalb County to serve the remaining 13 days of his
sentence, leaving no room for a honeymoon.
Christian’s legal troubles stem from a probation violation
tied to a false imprisonment charge, for which he served 30 months before being
released in 2018. Recently, authorities say Christian traveled outside the U.S.
without notifying his probation officer, visiting Italy and Switzerland with
Jennifer in July. The violation was reportedly discovered after their social
media posts from the trip.
In addition to his travel violation, Christian had also
failed to pay $12,500 in restitution to his victim, but he settled the amount
during Friday’s court proceedings.
For now, Christian is behind bars, while wedding
preparations continue under these unexpected circumstances.
