The daughter of notorious underworld figure Carl Williams is currently enjoying a fun summer holiday in Europe. Dhakota Williams shared a series of posts to Instagram as she soaked up the sun in Italy before relaxing in Greece. The 24-year-old looked worlds away from her younger years in the spotlight as she showed off her natural beauty and fuller lips while posing for a several selfies. In one image, Dhakota put on a busty display as she stretched her body on a towel while relaxing in Taormina, Sicily. The Gangland heiress also posted a second video to her Instagram on Tuesday after arriving in Mykonos. She flaunted her figure in a white bikini as she soaked up the sun on a poolside bed. Dhakota was nine years old when her drug kingpin father Carl was bludgeoned to death at Barwon Prison by fellow inmate Matthew Charles Johnson in 2010. Once dubbed the 'Baby Faced Killer,' Williams was jailed for 35 years in 2007 for ordering the murders of three rivals, and more time for conspiring to kill a fourth. In 2022, Dhakota and her mother Roberta joined OnlyFans after revealing their reputations made it difficult to find a 'normal' job. Dhakota also said at the time that her late father would be proud of her signing up to the adult subscription site.

The socialite responded that her infamous dad 'would be so proud of me for being successful and supportive of any path I choose to take'. 'He was very big on doing whatever makes you happy and if you've got it, flaunt it,' she added.

Newcastle's Alexander Isak: When trust is lost, the relationship can't continue
The Sweden striker, who has been the subject of a rejected bid from Liverpool, was not involved in Newcastle's Premier League opener on Saturday as they failed to score in a goalless draw at Aston Villa, having been training alone after refusing to play in some pre-season matches. On Tuesday the 25-year-old, who scored 27 goals in 42 games for the Magpies last season, was named in the PFA Premier League team of the season and used a post on Instagram expressing his gratitude to address his situation, accusing the club of breaking promises. 'I've kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken,' Isak wrote. 'That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn't reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors. 'The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To act now as if these issues are only emerging is misleading. 'When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue. That's where things are for me right now – and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself.' Isak's situation has turned into a saga which has rumbled throughout this transfer window. As speculation mounted over a possible transfer in July, Isak missed the club's pre-season tour of Asia with the club citing a thigh injury, and then trained alone at his former club Real Sociedad. Liverpool had a bid reportedly worth £110million plus add-ons rejected by Newcastle at the start of August but have retained an interest in the player despite signing Hugo Ekitike – a forward who was also targeted by Newcastle. Newcastle are said to value Isak at £150million, and would only consider a sale if they have signed a replacement. As well as missing out on Ekitike, Newcastle were frustrated in their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko who chose to join Manchester United. Isak, who returned to training at Newcastle on August 4, has three years remaining on his contract at St James' Park, and it was understood he would be fined if he missed competitive matches as a result of his desire to leave. After Saturday's match at Villa, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said 'other people are dealing with that issue'. Howe has continued to express his hope that Isak stays at the club. Isak began his post on Tuesday by saying he was 'proud' to be included in the PFA Premier League team of the year. 'First and foremost I want to thank my teammates and everyone at Newcastle United who has supported me along the way,' he wrote. 'I'm not at the ceremony tonight. With everything going on, it didn't feel right to be there.' Newcastle United statement: Alexander Isak — Newcastle United (@NUFC) August 19, 2025 In a statement issued late on Tuesday, Newcastle said they were 'disappointed' by Isak's post and added: 'We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer. 'We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views. 'As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired. We do not foresee those conditions being met. 'This is a proud football club with proud traditions and we strive to retain our family feel. Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his team-mates.'
