'Bad Girls Club': Shannade Clermont Home From Prison After Using Dead Man’s Debit Card
Can you say early release? Shannade Clermont can.
The “Bad Girls Club” star is home from prison after serving a few months short of her year-long sentence for fraud. A video of Shannade’s emotional reunion with her loved ones was posted to her and her twin sister Shannon’s shared Instagram account on Thursday.
The caption read: “OUR BABY NADE ... THANK YOU GOD #clermonttwins”
At press time, the post had received over 797,000 views and a number of comments.
Reality star Masika Kalysha wrote: “I’m not crying you’re crying.”
“Welcome home!!! S/O to your fam for weathering that storm and getting through it,” stylist Rox Brown posted.
According to Associated Press, Shannade was sentenced to a year behind bars last April after pleading guilty to fraud. BET reports that her time in prison came as a result of reportedly spending around $20,000 on rent, flights, and other luxuries using debit card information from her late “sugar daddy” James Alesi.
On Jan. 31, 2017, Alesi, 42, overdosed on drugs following what law officials described as a “prostitution date” with Shannade, who received $400 from the real-estate broker on the night of his death. However, the reality star insisted that she had no idea Alesi on drugs, let alone dead.
“He wasn’t asleep when I left — he was just drunk,” the social media influencer said at the time. “I have never been around people who have been on heavy drugs, so I didn’t really know. It was like, ‘Oh, he was a drunk mess.’ I was annoyed... [I thought] he was playing games. So I just left.”
Alesi’s body was found the following day in his New York apartment after he ingested cocaine mixed with fentanyl. Although Shannade was with the deceased the night before his death, she claims to have learned of Alesi’s death when everyone else did.
“From the outside looking in, it looks like I knew he was dead and was like ‘haha’... and that’s really sick,” the star said.
After pleading guilty to one count of wire fraud, her release date was expected to be in June of this year. However, it’s clear the former Yeezy model’s loved ones are happy she’s home early.
