According to Reuters, Tyrone Gilliams was originally sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2013 after scamming his business associates out of $5 million. Gilliams reportedly used his philanthropic aspirations to align himself with investors, then actually used much of the money on himself. In 2018, Gilliams petitioned a judge for a lighter prison sentence, although his request was denied. Three years later, officials released Gilliams from prison into a halfway house, because of the Covid-19 pandemic per The Sun.

Unfortunately, Gilliam’s release didn’t help his relationship with Sheree Whitfield. In fact, it might have actively sped up their demise. During Season 14, Gilliams infamously stood Sheree up for a dinner date in Philadelphia. Whitefield believed that “something is going on with his phone” but she soon realized that he’d decided not to show up at all, citing a parole issue. At the time, Gilliams was still on house arrest, he would’ve had to get any television appearances approved likely months in advance in order to not be penalized. Sheree and Gilliams do not appear to be good friends today. But hey, you never know!
