Former New Jersey Nets dancer Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols was the fiancee of NBA player Richard Jefferson. On July 11, 2009, Jefferson canceled their wedding hours before it was to take place in Manhattan.http://www.nypost.com/seven/07152009/news/regionalnews/manhattan/richard_jefferson_leaves_bride_at_the_al_179316.htm
The night of the canceled wedding, Nichols was upgraded to a suite at the hotel and Jefferson gave his friends his American Express Black Card for the evening.
In interviews on July 16, Jefferson said that he called off the wedding because of a tense Fourth of July weekend and gave Nichols a six-figure settlement.http://blogs.suntimes.com/sportsprose/2009/07/richard_jefferson_sets_the_rec.html
