Shaunie O’Neal has officially filed for separation from her baller husband Shaquille O’Neal! Despite some folks not believing us as usual, we told you there was drama in the O’Neal household. This filing comes only days after YBF posted our exclusive that Shaq was cheating on Shaunie with Gilbert Arenas’ fiance Laura. And let’s just say we’re not surprised–at all–by Shaunie filing. Our source (who also gave us that exclusive) has told us Shaunie is very ready to soon file for divorce.
She filed in California (where they were married) and we’re told she was just waiting on some of his cheating to go public so she has a great case with the divorce lawyers to get his money. And we gave her just that. Didn’t Shaq learn about how smart she is with his money the first go round?
We also know some juice about Gilbert and Laura’s relationship that’s soon to be DUNZO as well. We’ll hip you to that later…
Hate to say we told you so but….
UPDATE: Here’s the actual documents Va’Shaundya (Shaunie) filed.
Tue, November 10, 2009 1:57 PM
Wow!! Who didn’t see this one coming.
Tue, November 10, 2009 1:57 PM
FIRST… in a trini aceent….oo papa yoi….confusion!!!!
Tue, November 10, 2009 1:58 PM
1st shaq big ass need to leave it in his pants…for his childrens’ sake!!
Tue, November 10, 2009 1:59 PM
About time…Shaq just didn’t learn his lesson the thousands of times he cheated on Shaunie…
& As far as Gilbert and Laura go…he is a good man & took care of her n those kids..she is a money hungry slut…thank gosh he didn’t end up marrying her ass..but sad shes 8 months preggo…UGH
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:00 PM
ITS A MEDIA LIE…. i hope!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:00 PM
lol@ybf…… exposing all the cheating asses..LOL!! loves it
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:01 PM
He should be ashamed of himself!!!! Cant wait to hear what happens with the other couple.
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:02 PM
Shaunie wasn’t that smart with Shaq’s money, she got caught!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:03 PM
Does she even know whos baby shes carrying?????
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:04 PM
B-O-R-I-N-G! Shes been to this dance before!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:04 PM
Shaunie has cheated as well though. Couldn’t Shaq’s attorney’s bring that up? Shit, last time it came out she was stashing dough, there’s no telling what will surface this time.
As far as Gilbert and homegirl. Gilbert wanted his trophy and he got her. That’s what happens when you chase ideals. I feel bad for his public embarrasment and the kiddies, but honestly he can’t be too suprised.
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:05 PM
no hun……ur 3rd…lol
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:05 PM
Shaq is crazy…she already took is money and slept with her fitness trainer and he took her back…now he gets caught cheating with her friend and now she files for separation in CA in order to get the most money when the divorce is finale!!! They have 4 kids and she wants full and sole custody of those children…SMDH!!!!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:09 PM
Shaq and both of his lazy eyes need to stop! I hope that baby doesnt come out 25lbs and wearing a size 7. Then there will def be problems in the O’Neal house.
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:09 PM
Shaq and both of his lazy eyes need to stop! I hope that baby doesnt come out 30lbs and wearing a size 7. Then there will def be problems in the O’Neal house.
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:10 PM
natasha, you are messing with shaq lol!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:14 PM
Shaunie ain’t no SAINT she is a cheater her damn self and Shaq has been cheating for years. They are both nasty and have no respect for their children! She only filed in CA because she thinks she will get all his dough…but guess what she was not married to him long enough to get alimony for a life time but child support she will get and most likely a large sum pay out for alimony!!! They are both disrespectful fools!!!!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:14 PM
Laura, is a money hungry professional JUMP OFF anyway. I sit near her at the Wizards games, and shes always bragging about her jewerly, and all her money, talking about he stalkers and blah blah blah, she said she wants more kids, more BOYS! Ha she wants as many as she can get, so she can get as much ($$$$) as she can get!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:15 PM
The allegation that Shaq cheated on Shaunie will have absolutely no impact on the divorce case because CA has “no fault” divorce.
Also, even though CA is a Community Property state meaning that assets acquired during the marriage are split 50/50 I believe Shaq had a prenup which was talked about when he filed for divorce last time, so she won’t be getting half of anything. As for custody, she will probably get primary physical custody but legal custody, i.e., decisionmaking will likely be joint.
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:15 PM
Lol..first, her name is Va’Shaundya? Shaq! Dude…who’s gonna take you now with your eight children? This is just sad.
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:15 PM
Go Shaunie! These NBA wives have to deal with so much
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:16 PM
Gilbert wanted his white trophy, LOL and he got it! Now he gotta pay the price! He shoulda got with a sista, and enjoyed his life…..tisk tisk….TISK!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:18 PM
All these athlets need to take a Steve McNair 101 class
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:20 PM
Gasp and Tickle Me With a Feather….Really? It’s a shame he didn’t follow in his step-father’s footsteps and be a real man. Tsk Tsk Tsk…..get the money Shaunie! Bump him.
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:24 PM
LMAO!!!! *Cough! Choke!*
Steups u have me choking on my lunch with that “30 lbs n wearing a size 7″ bit…………. But what gives all these celebs the idea that they will never get caught cheating??!! If anything, since everyone cud recognise ur ass doing the nasty with someONE that isnt ur significant other, u shud take more Mission Impossible tactics TO HIDE UR INFIDELITY.
Or the safest option,
DON’T CHEAT!!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:24 PM
SMH…Shaq is still a mess!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:25 PM
LMBAO!…..Dayuuuum!…. :)
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:26 PM
Shaunie ain’t getting nothing if the pre-nup does not state so! Shaq ain’t crazy! The sate of CA also will grant him joint custody if he requests so! She went to CA for all her dirt about cheating on him won’t be used against her as well “No Fault” Shaq is a doof ball anyway…YUK!!!!!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:27 PM
WORD!! This is just messy as all hell!! I mean damn don’t these people have any conscious?!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:28 PM
Va’Shaundya *snerk* is no angel either, but she sho’nuf is a business woman!! :D
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:29 PM
Im just so happy that she no longer has to fall victim to his big sweaty azz all on top of her! GROOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSS!! BLECH!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:30 PM
Damn shame. Does anybody think about their kids anymore?
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:32 PM
what kind of name is Va’Shaundya?????? GHETTONESS!!!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:32 PM
i would not be celebrating i was first to share this unfortunate news in such a public way… although i do not by any means agree with adultery…this probably should have been dealt with privately. For the sake of the children. Noone every considers the affect these things have on them… just sayin…
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:35 PM
Is Shaunie leaving Shaq for Katt Williams??
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:37 PM
lol @ all the blk pro athletes wifing up non-blk/lightskin trophy ho’s and getting BURNED! lol @ gilbert. i dont feel sorry for none of them. self-haters. i hope these ho’s out here take all yall money. too dumb to keep it!

and hopefuuly after filing the divorce papers she went straigh to her family physician and got checked out.
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:39 PM
geesh is anyone faithful anymore?
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:41 PM
SHAQ HAS AND IRONCLAD PRE-NUP…SHAUNIE IS SHIT OUT OF LUCK AND FILING IN CA WON’T HELP HER EITHER!!!! THAT PRE-NUP IS A BINDING CONTRACT. I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THEIR 4 CHILDREN. THEY HAVE BOTH A CHEATING MOTHER AND FATHER…SHAMEFUL!!!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:42 PM
no surpise here,I mean they both were cheating but i guess now wifey pissey cause it’s a so called friend,lol Please just freaking stay single if you want to screw others.& maybe they should be some kinda clause in sports do not marry until you retire.
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:43 PM
Don’t mean to be rude(to any males), but most men don’t know how to cheat. Most women are wayyyyyy to smooth to get caught. Men are just too messy and they get confused too much. Get it together, if you’re going to play the game, know how to play it!!!!! Plus, he’s too dam old for all of this and he has kidssssss… Grow UP!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:47 PM
MAD U USED HER GOVERNMENT!!! DEAD______________LMAO
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:48 PM
Didn’t Shauni cheat on her husband with Shaq? Then Shaq filed divorce papers said she was cheating on him with the personal trainer? Looks like both Shaq and Shauni have problems with cheating. Where’s the guy on Cheaters when you need him
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:49 PM
WOW Shaunie finally had enough, too bad it was with one of her close friends….how embarrassing!!!!
Shaq is a dog!!!!
I can’t wait for Cleveland vs. Washington this season. LOL!!!
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:50 PM
I’m sorry but you couldn’t pay me enough to be with Shaq and I to me he will always be Magilla Gorilla/Grape Ape Biggly Biggly Biggly.
Tue, November 10, 2009 2:52 PM
Va’Shaundya is a horribly tragic name.
why is there an apostrophe?!?!?! why black folk, why?!?!?!
why are there TWO capital letters black folk?!?! whyyyyyy?????

Tue, November 10, 2009 2:53 PM
Lmao @ Magilla Gorilla/Grape Ape. Biggly Biggly Biggly
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:02 PM
Wow Shaquille…grow the f* up. Damn men are so stupid.
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:02 PM
…that’s not saying that there aint on darkbutt ho’s. its just shows how they dont marry for love. they marry for looks…massa tellin em that they need a trophy to look at so they could decide if they gonna give them slaves-players more money or not.

Tue, November 10, 2009 3:05 PM
LMAO! I wouldnt wish him on my worst enemy.
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:08 PM
didn’t you get the memo, White women have standards we are just gold diggers.
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:09 PM
F-in DEAD___________ that’s the exact same thing I was thinkin’….
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:13 PM
What standards? Please elaborate.
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:14 PM
@ shuga
lmbao!!!
i was about to go in on them names. here’s my philosophy on the jacked up names. u can usually tell when these ppl come from single parent homes. those names are thought up when the mother is in labor and is under anestesia. lethargic, they come up w/ these names w/o the father present to say to them, “no, ma. u not giving my child that fucked up name!” this accounts for the poor spelling and name choices. another reason, is for spite. spiting the father w/ a name they know he wont approve of just so they could say, “u shoulda been in the delivery room…” (w/ neck-popping action)
i wish our ppl will stop embarrassing us w/ these tragic names. here r a few more:
anfernie
shanaisia, octasia, maquita, tymeshia, qualishia,
lamar!
plaxico!
pernell
taquan
i think u guys get the picture…
lmbao and smh.
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:20 PM
by that i mean that when White women say that want a man that has done well or achieved something then it’s understood that they have high standards, and desreve the cream of the crop in the dating pool, when Black women state the same requirements for dating(higher achiver, financial wealth)then we are labeled gold diggers.
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:21 PM
Whateva you do it will come back to you.
Shaunie should have left a long time ago!
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:27 PM
They play Cleveland in DC on Nov. 18th and you betta believe I will be there watchin front row w/ popcorn in hand!!!
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:32 PM
ok so can we replace Fantasia’s post with this one?
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:36 PM
lol…and who is the little white man sitting between shaq’s legs?
his head is so tiny…lol
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:36 PM
@gilda…..My friend had a friend with the name: ShaShaleisha Wilkins
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:59 PM
Laura is not white. Her dad is black. Her mom is half Mexican, half Hawaiin.
Tue, November 10, 2009 3:59 PM

Gotcha :-)
Tue, November 10, 2009 4:45 PM
Now, THAT… says it ALL!!
Tue, November 10, 2009 4:49 PM
Is the juice Natasha’s holding back on that Shaq is the father of Laura’s baby? Didn’t she report recently that Laura is pregnant?? Escandalo!!! I sure hope not, because that would be disgusting on so many levels.
Tue, November 10, 2009 5:03 PM
They’re as bad as each other !!!!!
I didnt know that was her name
Tue, November 10, 2009 5:13 PM
Ahhh….public records a re a b!+ch.
Tue, November 10, 2009 5:14 PM
Ahhh….public records are a b!+ch.
Tue, November 10, 2009 5:31 PM
Why all the jokes about her name? She had no control over it and she has proven herself to be an intelligent, articulate, and business-minded woman who takes great care of her children. The first time that the divorce papers were put out there, Shaq filed, but they later reconciled. If they both cheated- oh well. But, I am sure that Shaq started the whole infidelity rollercoaster. And as the breadwinner for the family, Shaq had to pay up and keep her in the lifestyle to which she has become accustomed.
As for Gilbert Arenas’ fiancee – trash, pure trash. She is a chickenhead/gold digger plain and simple. This is why I keep my female friends very limited.
Tue, November 10, 2009 5:38 PM
Does Shaunie still get to touch The Shaqtus? Cmon people, you all know folks with green dont think the rules pertain to them. She said He said He Head She Head, it still doesn’t change the fact that in Gods Eyes they are sinners. Life goes on. Peace and Love to all.
Tue, November 10, 2009 5:43 PM
@ tonya…
wtf?!?!? her mama was not right with that!!!!
*DEAD* tears rolling down my eyes while i type.
@ hazelnut
girl u must have on of them names to be so defensive.
if u do….
never mind.
but ur right about the females friends tho. the few that i have r tentative relationships but girls that i grew up with are still good friends. we all came from 2 parent homes and were raised with morals.
Tue, November 10, 2009 6:00 PM
I heard that the majority of these wives already know that their husbands are being unfaithful. That’s just the price you pay, when you decide to get involved, and especially start a family, with an athlete or an entertainer. Those men get the “p” thrown at them daily, so it is what it is.
Many of their wives and girlfriends get used to the lifestyle and they end up turning a blind-eye to their men’s extra-marital activities. Still, I guess, there is only so much a woman can take, after a while. And she will be receiving alimony and child support, so she won’t be hurting too much.
Tue, November 10, 2009 6:05 PM
First off, Shaunie was with Shaq’s then best friend before she got with Shaq. So I don’t know what to say here…Laura kind of did her the same way Shaq did his bff. Both trash. It’s unfortunate they have such young kids though.
Tue, November 10, 2009 6:32 PM
This isn’t new to me. A cheater is always a cheater. both couples are messed up if you tell me. gilbert has been on and off with crazy a$$ fiance since 2001. he is another cheater also. i don’t understand why shaq got married if he likes to be with many diff women? shaunie well she knew what she was getting herself into. all this is just crazy and the only victims here are the KIDS!!!
Tue, November 10, 2009 6:40 PM
Get that Guac Shaunie!!! This nucca been w/ Supa Ho, um I mean Super Head. Now he’s w/ your friend!! Chile please. Take your child support, palimony & whatever else you are entitled to & run away from this serial cheater.
Tue, November 10, 2009 6:55 PM
Va’Shaundya??? Sounds like some nasty disease. Why do black people give their kids these type of names as if they will never fill out a job application. Well at least in Shaunie’s case she won’t have to fill out one out when she is done getting Shaq’s money.
Tue, November 10, 2009 6:57 PM
Shaunie needs to retract those separation papers and go somewhere and sit down…these men like Shaq CHEAT. They are immoral. Morality is not their top priority. So, Shunie and many in her boat that are married to these type of men need to stop being cry babies and accept it…HOME is being taken care of you know. All she need to do is go on a nice vacation with her girlfriends…and stop trippin’. Shaq and em’ are whores…and these wives should know that.
Tue, November 10, 2009 7:02 PM
@ Gilda Radner – no, I do not have “one of those names”. I was merely speaking in Shaunie’s defense.
Also, the fact that someone is raised “in a 2 parent” home does not guarantee morality. I was raised by a single mother after my parents divorced and I do not cheat or steal. Grown people will act however they want regardless of what type of home they were raised. For example, many of these politicians who were raised with silver spoons and both parents are guilty of some of the worse crimes of morality.
Tue, November 10, 2009 7:19 PM
I’m not worried about Shaunie. I know she was just waiting. I hope she has the money stashed for the Divorce cause Shaq on the last leg of his NBA career and will lawyer up like he has nothing to loose. No one gets out a divorce alive. The only one wins is the Lawers.
Laura dumb ass can kick rocks. She if Shaq will deal with her now.
I’m sure Gilbert won’t be alone for long. Best wishes. She stupid. He is FINE.
kind
Tue, November 10, 2009 7:31 PM
When in actuallity….white women invented the Gold diggin game.
kind
Tue, November 10, 2009 7:46 PM
Ha ha that’s what Gilbert get..He knew his BM was a gold digger and he went on and made 3 babies with her ..I bet her father is somewhere laughing like ” he saved our family ” lol..
Jermaine Oneal wife and Tawanna Iveson is next ..She was waiting for AI to sign his last contract before she jump ship..
Tue, November 10, 2009 8:31 PM
Too many dumb Nig, ahem! urm jocks and rappers out there these days with no damn sense at all, Damn pity we have a generation of kids idolizing these fools..

OMG Natasha you better watch your back. Nick Corney Cannon is gunning for you. Get a good can of raid and a lasso for his meal ticket Caribou.
Tue, November 10, 2009 8:51 PM
gilbert should holla at Shaunie ….
cant wiat for da next cleveland and wizards games…..
Tue, November 10, 2009 9:13 PM
wow, whats with all the hatred aimed at ethnic names, and lightskinned vs darkskinned? This is a recurring theme i see over and over again, and its done by blacks moreso than whites. we have become the poster child of self hatred. I am more saddened at the fact that a household with children, is now on the verge of a breakup. Having a brother that plays in the NBA, i see this infidelity thing on a constant basis, contrary to what you may believe its not only white or brightskinned women that throw themselves at these men, they come in all colors of the rainbow.Money attracts all kinds. I hope these two can get it together and work it out, I know Shaunie from seeing her around, not personally, and she seems like a well put together, smart and friendly woman.
Tue, November 10, 2009 9:43 PM
This is just plain SAD! When will people learn that the lives you lead when kids are involved really does effect them… Shaq, Laura, Shaunie, Gilbert, Swizz Beats, and Alicia Keys… look at the people who hurt all in the name of LUST!!! Cause this ain’t no love!
Tue, November 10, 2009 10:09 PM
Va’Shaudya??? Wow! Her momis pety!
Tue, November 10, 2009 10:56 PM
DID SHAUNIE GET A NOSE JOB???? (did i miss that post?)
SHAQ did the crime, SHAUNIE did the time…later for SHAQ
Tue, November 10, 2009 11:30 PM
I have never laughed so hard a comments in my life until reading these posts. I love it when people simply keep it real.
The O’Neals….they have both cheated and I guess old girl (won’t even try to spell that monstrous name…yes hooked on phonics worked on me), she had all of those babies I mean dollar signs and now she’s fed up…but didn’t she cheat too…with a trainer…if you are going to do dirt do with someone who is a step up…I’m just saying…UGH…those poor children.
Tue, November 10, 2009 11:32 PM
ooops with all of my laughter…I had a typo…I meant, I have never laughed so hard AT comments in my life…lol
Wed, November 11, 2009 12:23 AM
Don’t (sources) go a lil too far assisting divorces and such???
They could’ve been dealing with this privately. Then (sources) go making personal problems public and making people look & feel foolish for trying to work things out.
Wed, November 11, 2009 12:39 AM
Shaunie deserves the money! Shaq seems like alot to deal with anyway. I mean look at the way he act! He act like a lil Big ass kid!!! Shaunie, take his ass to the bank like Juanita did Michael for cheating & sleeping with all those white ho’s while he kept yo ass home cooking, cleaning, taking care of his kids, taking care of finances, taking care the home, & sexing his ass even when you didn’t feel like it. Wheeeewww… having a flash back! I say take his ass straight to the bank and baaaabbbyyyy……. don’t ever look back!!! You are a beautiful woman and I know their are plenty men that would love to date you in the future. But boy I tell ya black men do not know how to act when they get to a level of success and start making money. Anybody can fool them!
Wed, November 11, 2009 1:01 AM
Shaunie boo $168 million dollars! No I forgot that was Juanita. I still say kick this big UUUUGLY black ass to the curb and take half!!! lmmfao straight up!!!!
Wed, November 11, 2009 7:41 AM
I hope Shaunie gets Shaq for EVERYTHING he’s worth.. dirty bastard… I finally read those emails.. They are just nasty
Wed, November 11, 2009 8:00 AM
Wow , are we forgetting about that ghetto girl that he was messing around on Shaunie with, the wanna be rapper. Please Shaunie probably cheated b/c of all of his BS throughout the marriage.
Gilbert’s girl looks crazy and ugly. I hope she does nothing to hurt him or herself b/c she looks crazy. This will be another child Gilbert will have to get a blood test. Too much drama for me.
Wed, November 11, 2009 8:06 AM
not true, they met at a night club and he took her back to his house that night and they have been together every since. Laura use to work for Shaq.
Wed, November 11, 2009 9:34 AM
Well said!
Wed, November 11, 2009 12:00 PM
i can’t get with kelis trying to dig all up in nas’ pockets, but shaunie… she need to rob this negro BLIND. sucks that she signed a prenup though.
Wed, November 11, 2009 3:57 PM
Well at least Kobe can’t be blamed for this.. I guess.
Wed, November 11, 2009 10:10 PM
