She is also an American <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaunie_O'Neal">television personality</a>, philanthropist, and the executive producer of popular reality TV shows. She is in charge of Basketball Wives, Basketball Wives LA, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baller_Wives">Baller Wives</a>.

Upbringing

Although she was born in Texas, she was raised in Los Angeles, California. She would stay in Los Angeles for a long time and eventually met her future famous husband.

Married and Divorce From Shaq

She got married to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaquille O’Neal</a> in December of 2002 at a Beverly Hills hotel. During her married life, she had four children. The names of their children are <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareef_O'Neal">Shareef Rashaun</a> , Amirah Sanaa, Shaquir Rashaun and Me’arah Sanaa. She had already a son from a previous relationship called Myles and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaquille</a> had a daughter from a previous relationship with Arnetta Yardbourgh.

Shaunie and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaquille</a> separated in 2007 after 5 years of marriage in 2007 but the separation did not last long as they got back together. But after two more years of relationship problems, Shaunie asked for a divorce in 2009.

Shaunie divorced her husband because of his infidelity. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaquille</a> had a side girlfriend named <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_Alexander">Nikki Alexander</a> and he said that at a time, he was a happy <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">man</a> but in the end he was a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">man</a> with too many options and he chose to be with all the women that he could at the same time. He continues to say is not the best partner for commitment but he is learning now.

Becoming Rich After Heartbreak

Shaunie and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a> had a public and messy breakup. Shaunie had to hire a private investigator to get privates details about her husband’s secret behavior. They came to know about the sexting and the mistress of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a> named Vanessa Lopez. Vanessa ended up suing the private investigator because she felt she was being harassed for having an affair with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a>.

There were rumors that Shaunie was also involved with another man outside of their marriage. She had gotten fed up with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a> and wanted to get revenge by also cheating. The two had a prenuptial agreement and after the divorce, the attorney of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a> had to send a letter where he prevented Shaunie from discussing their marriage on any TV shows like the reality TV show Basketball Wives.

Some people in the basketball community lost respect for Shaunie because she stayed with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a> for so long when he was cheating on her. She allowed him to humiliate her by bringing in so many other women into his life and still being married to her. People speculated that Shaunie allowed it so that she would have a reason for divorce. She no longer loved <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a> but she knew that she could win half of his assets if she had legal grounds for divorce. She needed evidence and proof that he was cheating in order to win the court case. When his first affairs did not provide enough evidence, she hired a private investigator to catch <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a> in the act. Some women support her because they feel <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a> deserved to lose half of his assets for what he did to Shaunie.

Shaunie won custody of their children and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a> also has to pay a good amount for child and spousal support. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a> is in new relationship together with reality TV star, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_Alexander">Nikki Alexander</a> and they went to Pencils of Promise Inaugural gala together.

Basketball Wives

Shaunie got more fame when she became the executive producer for Basketball Wives.  The reality show that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaunie_O'Neal">O’Neal</a> created follows the lives of wives, ex-wives, and girlfriends of pro basketball players. After the success of the first show, she was asked to produce a second one based in Los Angeles called Basketball Wives LA.

She also produced a third show called Shaunie's Home Court which is a reality series centered on her and her five children.

Reality TV Controversy

After a recent season of Basketball Wives wrapped up, Shaunie and fellow castmate Jennifer Williams reached the peak of a bitter dispute. Fans of the show speculate that there is no way to repair their relationship. They have had many nasty verbal disputes on the show. Some of their arguments have gotten so nasty and made people on the show every uncomfortable.

During a recent interview, Williams called Shaunie “messy”, alluding to the fact that the middle aged woman has lost her way and is no longer taking good care of her image and family. It was seen as nasty cat comments but it really stung because there is some truth to it.

When she appeared on a radio show called Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club, Williams had some negative things to say about Shaunie, "Shaunie starts a lot of things behind the scene. It's really interesting that Shaunie has selective memory. She couldn't seem to remember if Tam had said those things, which had happened.. She never wants to be in the middle of everything."

Williams was alluding to the fact that Shaunie likes to stir up drama and then step away from it without taking responsibility. There were rumors that Shaunie fired Williams after the comments but her reps denied it and confirmed that Williams will be on the next season. They don’t want Shaunie to seem like a dictator and confirm the comments made by Williams. Shaunie had a previous healthy relationship with Williams but it seems her desire to make the show more entertaining for fans has caused their relationship to suffer. Even though it is reality TV, she has to twist some of the storylines to entertain the fans at the expense of her friends.

Personal Life

After the divorce from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a>, she started to see Marlon Yate who is a model. After the divorce, she got a half of 300 million which was the net worth of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a>. She is given 40,000 dollars a month in child support and 5 million every year in alimony. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaquille_O'Neal">Shaq</a> made a big mistake with his cheating and he now has to pay a large amount for his mistakes.
