Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, ex-fiancée of ex-New England Patriot player Aaron Hernandez, was accused of misspending their daughter’s money for her personal expenses. Jenkins-Hernandez allegedly spent thousands of dollars of the money meant for their daughter on online shopping, hair and nail salon appointments, and gym fees.

According to Fortier, Schwartz appeals to remove Jenkins-Hernandez as Avielle’s guardian. If this happens, Avielle’s new guardian would receive Aaron Hernandez’s Social Security checks and pension. They would also be responsible for determining how these funds will be spent. Avielle will have access to the money in her trust fund that currently amounts to around $700,000 only as she turns 25. However, Jenkins-Hernandez denied the allegations. Her lawyer, Stephen Withers, also said that the allegations are false.
