Wife: Shaq Intimidated Our Kids, Used Son To Send Death Threats
File this under How Not To Parent. Ever.
Shaquille O’Neal’s wife Shaunie, whom he is going through a divorce with, has claimed in court that the basketball star interrogated their children about her new boyfriend. He demanded they tell him everything about the new man in mom’s life “to the point that they felt intimidated and scared of him.”
Horrible. But that’s not the worst of it.
Shaq forced his six year old son Shaquir to tell Mr. New Guy that Shaq “is going to kill him,” going so far as to shout at him, “Say it now! My daddy is going to kill you!” reports TMZ.
There’s nothing like a 7’1 man making a kid do their dirty work.
Lawyers have gotten involved and demanded that Shaq withhold from having any “further inappropriate discussions” with their children. Shaq’s lawyers, for their part, are currently hounding Shaunie over her role on VH1′s Basketball Wives show, attempting to halt any sort of production that would make references to him. She’d previously signed a confidentiality agreement so she could face a fine if she spills any secrets or info.
The ex-couple have four kids together: Shareef, Shaqir, Amirah, and Me’arah Sanaa. Shaq also has a daughter Taahirah and Shaunie has son Myles from previous relationships. The whole thing is clearly a mess and it’s sad that they’re not even trying to keep kids out of it.
