Shaq wants to end "Basketball Wives"

The nasty divorce between Shaquille and Shaunie O'Neal has been no secret. In fact, their divorce has become the talk of the entertainment and sports community. There was a chance that his divorce proceedings could have kept him out of some games. With the basketball regular season over, Shaq did not miss any games, due to divorce.

For years, the O'Neals appeared to be the model couple in the sports world. When news broke of their divorce, it sent a shock throughout both the sports and entertainment sectors. Shaunie O'Neal later revealed that Shaq had been cheating on her during his stay in Miami. Perhaps a bit paranoid, Shaquille feels that Shaunie is plotting revenge.

Recently, her long-discussed "Basketball Wives" series finally aired and Shaq is trying to put an end to it. He feels that she is using the show to make him look bad. Ever since his college days, O'Neal has been trying to portray a role model persona. For the most part, Shaq has lived up to that, but this scandal has put a dent in his image.

Lawyers for Shaquille O'Neal have written a letter to VH1 to have them halt production on any new episodes of "Basketball Wives" that will mention his name. Shaq feels that enough damage has been done to his image without anymore input from his wife. The lawyers claim that Shaunie signed a confidentiality clause when they first wed each other. This means that anytime that Shaunie O'Neal mentions her relationship with Shaq in person, he reserves right to take her to court. Shaq is taking action after the first episode of the show aired and was centered around Shaunie's relationship with him.
