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."

92. I'm not mad at Shaq for protecting what it his. I'm sure doing the years that they have bben together it would have been silly not to stack cash knowing that there is a prenupt.

94. To: Dad of 3

His mother is rooting him on and Shaunie out. No matter how good the wife has been to and for their sons and regardless of how many granchildren Grandma has been delighted with; she will help him attempt to drag Shaunie through the mud and as if she NEVER endured any disrespect, shame, pain or neglect from a man... namely Shaq's father... the "biological who didn't bother."

97. He has outside kids and a mistress that lives close by that he pays for everything for. She has supported him by having his back for the longest so the least he could do after the 4 kids is give her what she asks for. She literally had to tell him no more kids.

98. She was having an affair with her personal trainer for a year. At
first she was meeting with him once a week. Then twice a week. Then
everyday. He's Cuban American and they fell in love. Shaq found out
about it and immediately filed for divorce. Now he wants to know how much money,
stocks, and other assets she has. But they love one another. The
marriage still has a chance. There are children involved. Shaq has
skeletons in his closet, too. Now they're even. I think Shaq will
forgive his wife.TMZ rarely tells the whole story. Especially about
blacks. Annoying, that.

99. Everyone is screaming how he cheated on her and remember she choose to stay. Just because he cheated and she choose to stay doesn't give her the right to anything.

102. Shanice was married to a preacher who has a church in L.A. This is her oldest father. She was seeing Shaq and cheating on her husband. Her husband was a big time Laker fan. shanice started having an affair with Shaq and left her husband for Shaq without any warning. Shaq helped the guy financially to not cause problems. Her husband supposedly was upset and a couple years ago talked about it to his congregation. So she has not been that innocent herself.

Karma all around.
