glad he's not a fearful person.He speaks his
mind and he's true." [Source]

I put an end to it immediately." source

Supahead vs Shaq?!

Well i'm sure by now we all know that

Shaq is divoring his wife Shaunie.
"The marriage between the parties is broken," says his petition.

The O’Neals have four children together.In the petition, Shaq says

"Shaunie has been secretive about her assets..particularly

with respect to certain properties owned or titled in either her

name alone or in other entities." He wants the court to order

Shaunie to give a "correct accounting of all money, funds,stocks,

bonds, and other securities (including bearer securities)"

that she came into during the marriage.

Meaning she was stashing away for a rainy day..

but there's nothing wrong w/ a little saving.

Some say this has a lot to do w/ Shaq's cheating habits.

And when you speak of the word cheating,

Supahead is bound to jump from where ever

she is to speak on it. she says "on the first date,

he gave me $10,000," she also said she had a relationship

with Shaq after he became engaged to Shaunie.

Supahead just doesn't quit,does she.
