Shaq Calls Foul on Wife -- Files for Divorce

Breaking NewsLook out ladies (seriously, get out of his way), Big Shaq Diesel is going back on the market.

In divorce papers filed Tuesday in a Miami court, Shaquille O'Neal claimed his marriage to wife Shaunie has been "irretrievably broken," and accuses her of being shady with his cash, reports the Miami Herald.

The couple has four kids together, and each has a child from a previous relationship. They tied the knot in a ridiculously lavish Beverly Hills ceremony in 2002. Shaq, who is currently in a contract with the Miami Heat worth a cool $100 mil, claims that his wife has been "secretive about her assets," and he has asked the court to order a full investigation into every penny she came into during their union.



The Big Daddy also notes that he made Shaunie sign a pre-nup -- which he's asking the court to keep private. As for custody, the jet-setting basketballer requested that the kids live with Shaunie, and that he receive "liberal rights of visitation."

16. technically when you're married your money is also her money Shaq. And her money is yours. Dont quite see the problem when you make 100's of millions of dollars and probably have lots more that she doesnt even know about, and lots of other women she doesnt know about either. Hope she takes him for every penny, or should I say as many millions as she can.

23. I think #14 said it all. He wants to know what money she has but doesn't want her to have any of his money. Maybe the reason she kept getting pregnant before they even married was to force him to marry her. And, insure that no matter what she'd get paid via child support. I guess she's not too stupid.

27. POST # 15 : Kobe sucks : Right after the Kobe " rape " scandel . And Kobe was accused of having sex with " fans " He said " Everyone does it , even Shaq. .

Shaq was pisst. He said it almost ruined his " marraige " . That's a marraige ??? Not in my book. His wife put up with that infidelity for years after knowing that. I think she should get the entire " purse " Don't you ?

29. Why should my tax dollars investigate how much money the Mrs. came into during their union together? Shaq have your multi-million dollar accountants research that nut and get back to you. Don't waste Dade Counties overcrowded courts system's resources to do your own personal family business. We don't have the time or the money to chase down where all your spent or squandered millions have gone. Give me a break already!

30. I think she's a very smart lady. She knew he was out getting under as many skirts as he could. She prepared herself financially. Smart, very smart. Regardless of the pre-nup, he HAS to take care of his children. She is SET FOR LIFE. As she should be for putting up with his cheating ass all these years.
