The endless exploits and high-end drama finally became too much for Shaunie to take. Amidst rumors that Shaunie left a former beau for the NBA player can correlate to dare we say it, karma. 2010 seems to be the year to get rid of dead weight but we hope it works out for all parties involved, especially the children.

Here we go again. The O'Neals are apparently are having issues again. Amidst reports that Shaq, 37 is having an affair with Gilbert Arenas' fiancee, Laura Govan (ouch!), Shaunie has probably had enough.

Arenas has yet to comment but I don't think he'll be walking down the aisle with Ms. Govan anytime soon. Arenas and Govan have three children so he's gonna pay regardless. The O'Neals have seven children (whew), but at any rate, this is not a good look.
