Further, she added, “This man, whose name is Tony Wilson, had been sentenced in 2010 to four years in federal prison for conning investors out of $4 million and was currently out on parole.”

The ex-couple met in 2015 when Tony Wilson was working as a manager at LA fitness. “He listened to every interview I’d ever done. He saw me working out in LA Fitness and researched me. And the first thing he said was, ‘I like your hair.’ I found that very interesting. But he knew that I had been promoting natural hair. He’d read everything about me,” as per Lewis.
