Aaron Hernandez — Mother of Deceased Football Player’s Child Accused of Frivolously Spending Thousands From Their Daughter’s Trust For Her Own Benefit Including Spa Visits & Online Shopping

Aaron Hernandez — Mother of Deceased Football Player’s Child Accused of Frivolously Spending Thousands From Their Daughter’s Trust For Her Own Benefit Including Spa Visits & Online Shopping

The ex-wife of Aaron Hernandez is at the center of some serious financial allegations as it relates to their daughter.

Attorney David Schwartz is in charge of the trust that Aaron Hernandez established for the care of his daughter Avielle, 10 — and he wants Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez to be relieved as her conservator.

Following the mother’s request for $10,000 from the trust to pay for Avielle‘s dance lessons, Schwartz asserts that her questionable spending habits “merit scrutiny.” He declined the request and filed documents to have Jenkins-Hernandez removed as Avielle‘s conservator in court paperwork with attorney Robert O’Regan.

In the filing, O’Regan said,

“I believe that [Jenkins-Hernandez] has been co-mingling the child’s funds with her own. I believe that Ms. Jenkins-Hernandez’s ongoing conflict, her almost five-year-long record of excessive expenditures, continuous violation of this court’s decree … and her failure to file an inventory and up to date accounts all indicate that despite what might be her best intentions, Ms. Jenkins-Hernandez is not effectively performing her duties as conservator.”

The petition listed a long list of dubious withdrawals from the fund, including $11,792 for personal care charges including gym memberships and spa appointments, as well as $36,858 for apparel, $39,347 for home goods and $25,577 for online shopping. There were also “unexplained” ATM withdrawals totaling $18,406,04 and a $3,720.00 payment to Massachusetts’ Bay Path University.

Jenkins-Hernandez receives roughly $150,000 annually from the trust that the football player left behind to care for their daughter, which has added up to $832,040.83 since Hernandez‘s suicide in prison in 2017.

O’Regan said,

“There is reason to question whether the expenditures were for Avielle’s benefit. To be fair, this little girl should have a decent life with what her father left for her. No one would complain if there were reasonable expenses. We’re talking about over the top or otherwise unrelated expenses to Avielle.”

Aaron Hernandez, a former star tight end for the New England Patriots, committed suicide in jail by hanging himself with the bedsheets in April 2017. His death came after he was given a life sentence for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd.

The controversial football player and his child’s mother began dating in high school, but had their fair share of problems because of his repeated infidelity. Avielle was born in 2012.

Despite maintaining his innocence, Jenkins-Hernandez testified during her fiancé’s trial trial that she took a box from the home she shared with Hernandez and got rid of it —  believed to contain the murder weapon — the day after Lloyd was murdered.

Jenkins-Hernandez petitioned the judge to remove Schwartz as a trustee after being told she would not receive the $10,000 and said he was interfering with Avielle‘s favorite pastime. She and Stephen Withers, her attorney, refuted claims that she had been misusing the funds.

Jenkins-Hernandez said,

“Since Aaron’s death, my sole focus has been on raising and providing as stable a life for my children as possible. All monies I have spent have been with this singular focus in mind, and this will continue to be my focus going forward.”
