"They call him the Black Steph Curry For a Reason": Shaquille O'Neal Sliding into Female Home Depot Employee's DMs Leaves NBA Twitter in Splits

The Home Depot Girl is a viral sensation who made headlines recently. Ariana Josephine became famous after the internet recognized her for having a regular job over starting an OnlyFans. But, while she has received praise, she has also got quite a bit of backlash. And, although it has been tough, she recently received some celebrity advice from Shaquille O’Neal. Who, now, in turn, is being accused of sliding into her DMs.

Shaq recently encouraged Josephine to block out the hate. But, this has led his own followers to suggest that he is being creepy. Obviously, this is all in jest. After all, given his past antics, The Big Aristotle’s 30 million plus followers take every chance they get to poke fun at him. And, they didn’t hold back this time, roasting him on Twitter.

Shaquille O’Neal gets roasted by fans for “sliding into the DMs” of the Home Depot Girl

Shaquille O’Neal recently messaged Ariana Josephine, the Home Depot Girl on Instagram. Big Diesel showed concern for the internet star, after she received quite a few hate comments on her most recent post. However, Shaq’s advice really helped her out.

Josephine was grateful for O’Neal’s advice and shared her excitement about receiving a message from him on her Instagram. But, this gave Shaq’s fans the perfect opportunity to troll him. To be specific, his 30 million followers jokingly started calling him out for sliding into her DMs.

They sure took his case, but Shaq played along and maintained his innocence, claiming that he did not attempt to slide into anyone’s DMs. And, that all he was trying to do was uplift someone who needed it.

All things considered, it isn’t that surprising that his followers would choose to target him in this way. Especially given his past adulterous nature and the tendency he has to hit on women.

Shaq has a penchant for hitting on beautiful women

Big Diesel may not have been hitting on the Home Depot Girl, but there have been plenty of occasions where he has hit on other women. Perhaps the most infamous instance was when he tried to shoot his shot with Daily Pop guest host Rocsi. And, from the looks of it, his moves seemed to be working.

Shaq certainly has game, and he is quite the charming individual. So, when he does make something even close to a move, fans notice. And, they never hesitate to let him hear about it.
