Shaquille O’Neal’s extramarital exploits were first made known to the public after Kobe Bryant mentioned it to police before being charged with rape in 2003.
Apparently, O’Neal continued to creep around on his ex-wife, Shaunie O’Neal, until the two officially divorced in 2010.
But Shaq’s promiscuous ways could have caused embarrassment if a rumored sex tape had been released. According to TMZ, Shaunie was offered a sex tape that featured Shaq having sex with several women while the two were married. Shaunie says that she turned down an offer to purchase the tape that was recorded on a security camera at a music studio owned by Robert Ross.
Shortly after his attempt to sell the alleged sex tape, Ross claims that he was kidnapped, beaten and robbed by seven members of the Crips who also questioned him about the tape.
O’Neal and his business partner, Mark Stevens, denied any involvement. And Shaunie believes that Ross has fabricated the entire incident because he once lied about having an affair with her.
O’Neal wasn’t relevant in the NBA for nearly five years before retiring this month, but he often makes news headlines for his interesting life outside of basketball. –a.r.
