Shaq’s ex gets points for class in `Basketball Wives’
Don’t worry about Shaunie O’Neal.
Shaq’s ex is picking up the pieces of her divorce quite nicely, thanks.
Back in her native Los Angeles, she’s got the support of her family to help her raise the former couple’s four children, she’s working on a shoe line and the big news . . . she stars in the new reality show, Basketball Wives, airing Sunday night.
“Wives” is a loose term, as the show follows ex-girlfriends too, like Evelyn Lozada, who once was engaged to former Miami Heat star Antoine Walker.
Working on BW was therapeutic, the gals say, and unlike on, say Real Housewives of Atlanta, they more or less got along.
“You see what we go through, as far as being mothers or business owners,” O’Neal says by phone. “And what we deal with as wives of athletes, how to keep the family together and keep yourself real. We all have common ground.”
We learn more about the couple’s divorce. O’Neal isn’t shy about placing a lot of blame for her split with Shaq — rumored to have had various affairs — on overzealous fans. Especially Miami fans (he played for the Heat from 2004 to 2008).
