'Basketball Wives' star Jennifer Williams distraught as wedding plans with Christian Gold hit major bump
DEKALB COUNTY, GEORGIA: Jennifer Williams, known for her dramatic role in 'Basketball Wives,' has found herself in the latest ordeal involving her soon-to-be husband, Christian Gold, also known as Christian Walden.
Her dream wedding plans in Paris have reportedly hit a speed bump as her fiance has found himself entangled in legal troubles that could have put the big day on ice, as per TMZ.
Christian Gold's arrest disrupts Jennifer William's Parisian wedding plans
In a surprising turn of events, Christian Gold was arrested on the morning of September 6 at the DeKalb County courthouse in Georgia for a probation violation.
The judge sentenced him to 15 days in jail, a devastating blow for Jennifer, who was in court likely imagining wedding vows instead of visiting hours.
However, in a gesture of leniency, the judge ruled that Gold would serve just two days immediately, granting him a temporary release in time to exchange vows.
Jennifer, likely overwhelmed by a mix of relief and frustration, remained tight-lipped outside the courthouse, leaving everyone wondering about her true feelings regarding this unexpected detour from her wedding plans.
The couple's Parisian wedding, scheduled for September 14, is still on track, though their post-wedding itinerary will see significant adjustments.
After the nuptials, he will need to promptly return to DeKalb County to serve the remaining 13 days of his sentence.
Gold's legal woes stem from a false imprisonment charge for which he served 30 months in prison, followed by probation.
He was also busted for violating probation after he and Jennifer traveled to Italy and Switzerland in July without permission from his probation officer.
The couple's carefree social media posts from their European trip were enough for authorities to become aware of the probation violation.
Concerns rise over Christian Gold’s intentions toward Jennifer Williams
Christian Gold has been under scrutiny not only due to his arrest, stemming from violations of probation.
He allegedly left Georgia multiple times without permission, as revealed through posts on Jennifer's Instagram. This led to a probation officer reaching out, during which Gold reportedly lied about his whereabouts.
Before his recent arrest, a warrant was issued on August 8, 2024, after Gold confirmed he had traveled out of state without proper authorization
The situation escalated when it was revealed that Gold had an outstanding restitution amount of nearly $250,000, which he claimed could complicate their wedding plans.
However, further investigation revealed that the actual restitution owed was only $12,500, raising suspicions about his financial claims and intentions.
Critics have suggested that Gold may be attempting to scam Jennifer, given his troubling legal history and allegations of involvement in a Ponzi scheme that defrauded numerous investors.
