“Dwyane Wade was cheating on Gabrielle Union”: Shaquille O’Neal once threw the Heat star under the bus for an affair

Shaquille O’Neal snitched about Dwyane Wade cheating on Gabrielle Union with Lauren London while still being married to Siohvaughn

It is a fact that Shaquille O’Neal has a big mouth even when you consider his 7’1 stature, his talks still overtower his personality.

Although his TNT partner Charles Barkley dwarfs him when it comes to saying outrageous things, O’Neal is second to none when it comes to speaking blatantly.

It’s not like he brought forth this side of his since he retired from the game in 2011, and started his job with Turner Sports, he was always vocal.

Wade was the first superstar since Penny Hardaway and Kobe Bryant with whom O‘Neal did not develop a public feud.

But he did something much worse to the man who led him to his fourth and final title, and it had to with the Heat star’s love life, which was quite complicated back in 2008.
