Venus Williams is finally speaking out about the fatal car accident of which at first she was found to be liable. Later a video proved that she was not the cause of the accident. After the collision and Barson’s death, an attorney for Williams, noted in a statement to ABC News that authorities did not issue her any citations and that “Venus expresses her deepest condolences to the family who lost a loved one.”
The crash claimed the life of 78 yr old Jerome Barson’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Williams and is seeking damages in excess of $15,000. They are also claiming that Venus may have been on the phone and lawyers are asking for her phone records.
