Williams Family Accused of Perjury
Who knew the Williams sister would spend so much time on the news during off season? Yesterday, it was a dog bite, today it’s perjury.
Yikes. They don’t catch a break.
Comcast reports:
The sisters’ attorney, F. Malcolm Cunningham, said the sisters are the only ones who can commit to any contract where money is exchanged for their services.
“Since Venus and Serena have been 18, they sign their own contracts without exception,” Cunningham said outside court. “Nobody signs for them.”
After hearing arguments from both sides, Judge Jeffrey Winikoff ordered Venus and Serena Williams’ attorneys to turn over to him more than two dozen sponsorship and endorsement agreements by Friday.
Richard Williams has acknowledged drawing up terms of a potential contract for the 2001 event, but he insists he told promoters they would have to go through the IMG sports agency, which represents Venus and Serena, to complete any agreement. The promoters say he made no such disclaimer.

Venus and Serena are two terrific human beings with numerous interests besides tennis & loved by many. Surely, confusion & mix up can develop with so many irons in the pot. The press is always looking for stories to sell papers. The Williams sisters are good press. They have the cleanest reputation among sports figures. Let’s not attempt to destroy them just to make money. We love you, Venus, Serena, & the entire family.
