“Mommy, You Can’t Show Me In The Bathtub”: Shaquille O’Neal Hilariously Forbids Lucille O’Neal From Exposing His ‘Explicit’ Baby Photos

Shaquille O’Neal has never shied away from letting it be known that he is very much involved in a slew of endorsements and investments. The Los Angeles Lakers legend made $286 million on NBA hardwood but it’s after retirement that he’s truly flourished from a monetary standpoint. Even his mother, Lucille O’Neal, has built up quite the empire over the decades, having established herself as an author, spokesperson, and socialite.

Lucille and Shaq share an incredibly close bond with one another. Anytime the 4x NBA champion talks about how successful he’s become, he makes sure to shout his mother out and credit her along with his father, Philip Harrison, for doing a great job in raising him.

It was his mother who instilled a great deal of wisdom within him. She would tell him that regardless of what endeavor he indulges in, he needs to make sure they remember his name. as showcased by how popular he is, he’s clearly achieved this.

Shaquille O’Neal and Lucille O’Neal star in an adorable commercial with one another

Shaquille O’Neal has been teamed up with Epson printers since 2019. “I’m always on the lookout for products that make everyday tasks quick and easy, so I can focus on the things that matter most. Epson simply offers the best printing and home technology out there,” said O’Neal in a statement on the official Epson website.

In a recent commercial for the company, Shaq is sitting next to his mother, Lucille O’Neal, where they print out old picture of him and the O’Neal family. Lucille would then hilariously ask if she could show the camera Shaq’s baby pictures in a bathtub to which the Hall-of-Famer replied, “Mommy, you can’t show me in a bathtub.”

It’s quite heartwarming to see ‘The Big Aristotle’ have such a close bond with his mother even after all this time.

Shaquille O’Neal on how important the women in his life are

Shaquille O’Neal once went on a podcast and was asked by the hosts if he had any girlfriends or was looking to add another woman into his life. His response would be very straightforward and claimed that he already has 4 wives.

He was referring to his mother and 3 daughters and hilariously said that they act like his wife too, always pestering him about where he’s going and what he’s doing. So, despite the rumors that he might be in a relationship with his ‘Big Podcast’ co-host, Nischelle Turner, it seems as though he’s very much single.
