Williams said his father, J.W. Brun ,, invited his cousin Lewis Living with their family when they moved to Memphis, Tennessee. It was then that Lewis began to tackle Williams without his parents' knowledge. Williams said Lewis would meet her after school and take her for ice cream.

"I thought he was nice to me. I helped Jerry and looked at him," said Williams. "What I didn't know was that he fell in love with me ... Jerry would kiss me. At first, I didn't know what to think about it. I mean, it was good, but I was confused."

She explained that one day, Lewis showed him a marriage license and said that they were going to get married. They made him official when Lewis released Williams another day under the guise of going to see a film.

"I think I was in a coma," said Williams, looking back on the ceremony. “I had the red dress I was wearing at school that day, and we entered this little chapel. I don't remember getting married, but I know it happened. And then, these two little old women began to throw us rice ... and I am always like a deer caught in the headlights ... We were probably left for less than an hour. ""

The next morning, she saw the wedding license in her room and knew it was real. The family lady of the family discovered the document and gave it to her father. Brown came out with a firearm in search of Lewis when he realized that the musician had married his child daughter but finally accepted what had happened. AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB

Williams said that she "had to become the adult", because her new husband did not take care of much. "Jerry did two things-he played music and he loved me," she added.

Unsurprisingly, the marriage did not move smoothly from there. Williams tours with Lewis and inadvertently revealed to a journalist in the United Kingdom that she was her teenage wife. His age, as well as the fact that they were linked, led to a major reaction to the artist.

"I felt guilty because of that," said Williams on the show. "It was I who let the cat come out of the bag."

But there was even more controversy in the relationship. When he married Williams, Lewis was still married to his second wife, Jane Mitcham . He divorced her, then officially remarried his cousin. They welcomed two children during their wedding: Stevie Lewis , died in a tragic accident at the age of three, and Phoebe Lewis , which is now in the sixties. Williams and Lewis divorced in 1970 after Williams claimed that Lewis had attacked him physically and mentally. Since 1984, she has been married to Richard Williams .

Lewis died at the age of 87 in 2022. At that time, Williams has thought about their story in an interview with the Los Angeles Times . She said that she had cut bonds with her ex-husband when he married her former sister-in-law (her brother's ex-wife) in 2012.

"I would not go back and I would change it if I could," she said to the newspaper, before revising, "I could modify it a little. I would change it very much. More smart. But how much Can you be smart when you are 14? You are a stupid child at this age. You are not ready for this. "
