Shaunie O’Neal
“The BBW Show idea was that of Tom Huffman, not Shaunie Oneal. Shaunie originally turned down the idea of BBW because she wanted to do her own show with her then-husband Shaquille O’Neal. That show was called “Love Shaq.” It never aired … In even more blatant terms, however, Shaunie wasn’t there to sell the show … I was. I was the only cast member flown into LA to pitch the show to over 10 different stations with Tom because no one else wanted to be connected to a possible failure.”
