Shaunie Wants Shaq Back
Posted by Bossip Staff
Shaunie filed a response to Shaq’s divorce papers and says she doesn’t think their marriage is “irretrievably broken”. She also says in the petition she wasn’t hiding any stacks from Shaq. Check out Shaunie’s legal document via TMZ.
Shaq has been cheating for years, should he take Shaunie back?
Facebook
Send to Phone
seems to me that these two are just sick of each other and looking for an excuse to get out of the marriage…
Let him go gurl! You can find another him (dog) anywhere!
yes…if shaunie wants to contract the latest, greatest STD. oh and whiten your teeth shaq.
Sounds like a stall tactic to me.. Hide dem stacks Shaunie
Let SHAQ go boo and get with me. I’ll help you spend that MONEY!!!!!!!!$$$$$$$$$$
that bitch is just sad cuz he has an air-tight prenup and aint nobody else tryna wife up a chick with 6 kids and no skills. don’t do it shaq. shaq is about to be retired soon. if he gets custody, then she’s really fucked.
she’s dumb for wanting him back. i hope its a cheaper to keep him situation. hes a cheater, and he aint good looking, AT ALL. stack up on the maintenance, and child support and keep it moving. he’s wack.
@Piston36
She obviously didn’t hide enough loot. Why is it chicks always cheer a woman on when she is dogging a man?
And you wonder why we don’t want toget married.
I think he should reconcile with his wife. He is not perfect. He need stop acting like a baby and understand that he has children to think about. Don’t worry about these sexist ass bloggers and worry about rebuilding your family. Yes she messed up but hell YOU DID TOO. Get some marriage counseling. Not to meantion you did get somebody else pregnant so stop acting like the victim suck it up be a family man. You have a wife that is willing to accept you back after you hit the jumpoff, she must really love you.
Who says Shaq cheats? karrine Steffans wrote about Shaq BEFORE he was married.
What the hell? They can work it out, but dont forget he was with the NASTIEST VIDEO VIXEN!!!!!and if she can forgive him he can forgive her. That is sad MEN can dish it, but they cant HANDLE it when it happens to them.
@Sandy:
Yeah, she can find a 7 foot 1 multi millionaire black male in his early 30’s who she has 4 kids with anywhere…WTF! Dumb bitches…
LMAO for calling him a dog when she was boning HIS personal trainer in HIS house…
i would want to stay too if i had a horrible pre-nup! but then again she has 5 kids so she betta try and hold on!
She fu*k up get over it. That is what women are told to do. As many times he has cheated he really has no merit to act all serious like this. A woman can only take so much. Listen to Bruce Bruce: “if you have 4 or 5 differnt women I could find something wrong with all of them. If you was taking care of yo woman YOU won’t have time for another damn woman.
she would defintiely be on an episode of when the checks stop coming… what does it matter if she was hiding stacks.. he’s droppin $10k in supa (HIV) head account….
Girl hang on in there, where else you gon’ find another Millionaire to take care of you and your kids!
no shaunie wants shaq’s money back… get it right bossip
Never forget BItches ……..It’s his money!!!
They always got a reason why the DESERVE shit. She deserves to apply for food stamps if she don’t get custody.
why?
Shaq, you betta get a DNA on those kids. I’m just sayin’.
I’m sorry, reading some of the female comments here, I have to say, Women are Idiots!!!! All this anything Shaq does, Shaunie should be able to do it as well bullshyt. Maybe in that carefully crafted feminist world a great many of you live, that maybe true, however, in the real world things don’t work that way.Here’s the deal, since you don’t do what he does( bring home millions of dollars, provide comfortably for you, the kids,your family),he is not bound by the same rules. Then you chicks are going to cheer this broad on after giving the diesels pu**y away, and stealing his sh*t! And ya’ll wonder why mutherph**kers don’t want to get married! I knew ya’ll had huge entitlement complexes, but it goes to show how little ya’ll understand men. Ain’t no real man going for that shyt. Now that her azz is busted, she and the rest of you clowns want to trot out the old preditable “what about the kids shyt?” Diesel, get rid of her azz, women are a dime for five or six dozens!
Justsayin
YOU MY NIGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
That was really on point.
Remember the Golden Rule people.
He who has the gold makes the rules.
PEOPLE ARE CRAZY ITS EASY TO JUDGE AND TELL SOME ONE ELES WHAT TO DO BUT IF ITS MEANT TO BE THAN IT WILL WORK IT SELF OUT:}
Shaq better act like he knows something and stay with his wife. That is an expensive divorce. They have four kids together. She doesn’t care if he cheats. Sit your ass down before she does a Juanita. Go to counseling and fix your marriage. Trust. A third to half your money is not worth this mess.
@Just Sayin’
Wait, so if a woman is the breadwinner than she gets to cheat with whoever she wants, and its the husband’s job to be faithful? Please, please respond to me. Cause this I have to hear.
@Pistons
Shauni’s an accountant. From what I’ve seen, and I could be wrong,the black wives of black athletes that are in the media tend to be college educated and stuff. Shaunie knows how to manage money, and she probably didn’t sign anything before the wedding, that wouldn’t leave her very well compensated after the divorce. I’m starting to see why a rich athlete like Kobe would find Vanessa so appealing.
Even if the divorce goes through and there is a prenup, she’s still going to make out like crazy. At the very least they have to sell the family residence and split that- I understand it’s listed at 32 mil. And Shaq would never get custody of the kids because of his schedule. It is extremely difficult for a man to get even joint custody unless both parties agree.
@ilish
U think that only dumb women sign pr-nups?
only dumb men fail to get one.
Here we go agian…..Nothing worse than a weak ass bitch spreading venom and shit shut up with that bull shit!
Take a deep breath.
No wonder why I don’t have those kind of man problems cause I will set yo ass straight. Femist my ass! Thank God I have never come across a man that thought like that.
I don’t know what kind of country ass polyogmist farm(no diss to the south) you ass grew up on but in the 21st century a man or woman who go before God and vow to be in holy matriomony then that is what the fu&k it is.
Learn the judicial system, when a man and woman are MARRIED, any money made in the marriage is THEIR money not HIS. If the woman doesn’t work in the marriage apparently he agreed for her not too cause her ass would be working. There is nothing stopping her from going to school, hell unlike some of us who depend on finical aid. Her man could pay her tuition. But that hasn’t happened! Therefore it is not his money it’s their.
You wonder why it’s hard to find a decent man cause of hoes who allow a trifflin ass diggin to do what he want. OMG!
Girl, go ‘head and get the dough. You betta stay. Fu*k it. He gon do what he gon do. And you will, too. Stay paid, chile.
no, no richard, not at all. I never said that only dumb women sign pre-nups. I’m sure Shaunie did sign a pre-nup, but it seems as if Pistons is inferring that she won’t have a pot to piss in, should they divorce, and I’m saying that Shaunie’s seems like a sharp tack, and she wouldn’t sign anything that would jerk her in the end. It’s foolish for anyone with wealth, male or female to marry without a pre-nup. But prenup doesn’t mean that the poorer party before marriage will leave the marriage without any wealth.
@ilish
She is used to spending without a limit.
I find that the thing these women miss most is being on the celebrity list.
She will not have to kind of money to stay on the IN scene.
@ Jus Another Opinion
lets be real baby. Money talks. Celebrity talks.
It’s all about what she has to offer. Shaq can find anyone to spend his money and fuck his friends but i don’t think multi millionaires are growing on trees.
Please stop bringing the lord in deiscussions like these.
You sound like some backwoods preacher caught stealing.
@ Jus Another Opinion
Please read Pre-nup.
So many lazy women want to get married so they can be SECURE/lazy.
You are only as secure as the work you put in your relationship.
They will probably have “shared” custody of the children and she will get some money either way but she might still love her husband… after all she has put up with his cheating for years. Maybe she got used to him and his short comings.
(Some of the L.A. chicks know what I mean
What in the hell is real world shit. Maybe in the NBA world they practice that shyt. Get yo head out of the clouds. Them Overpaid, infectious- bug chasers, highschool grad overzealous whores, who can’t even put a decent sentence together-stuttering idiots. he sports world is a fantasy not real life. Groupies stop trying to pick apart normal folks who actaully want to be committed to one person. I guess justsaying is saying something is wrong with men who are acutally good to their wives. I guess he/she thinks HIV is a good thing to.
So….Shaq plays ball. Because he does his job well, he receives a paycheck. Pretty simple concept: do a job and get compensated.
Shaunie may not be employed, but while Shaq is away, who was it making sure that “his” bills were paid, so he could come home to his $32 mil. house? who made sure that the house stayed in order, so that random folks weren;t walking in that bad boy when they delt like it? When Shaq was working for his paycheck, who fed, raised, and took care of his kids? Who worked behind the scenes to make sure that Shaq’s personal life was in order when he stepped off the court?
I believe that was his wife…Shaunie.
So you’re saying that absolutely NONE of that money belongs to her? Being a wife/mother Is a full-time job! Doggone right she deserves to have half that income!
No one really knows what happened except them and the others involved. I say that if she really still wants him, then maybe they should try to work it out. That’s what you do when you are MARRIED. Taking vows before God is serious and divorcing is just taking the easy way out.
Maybe she does just want his money, who knows. But like someone said earlier, everything made after the marriage begins is money THEY made; after you are married the two parties become ONE. No matter how good his prenup is, she won’t be left broke. And Shaq would never ever get full custody of the kids. Judges almost always favor the woman.
Lastly @ Justsayin who said:
“Women are Idiots!!!! All this anything Shaq does, Shaunie should be able to do it as well bullshyt. Maybe in that carefully crafted feminist world a great many of you live, that maybe true, however, in the real world things don’t work that way.Here’s the deal, since you don’t do what he does( bring home millions of dollars, provide comfortably for you, the kids,your family),he is not bound by the same rules”
Dude are u serious? I agree with ilish. Just because a man makes the money does not give him the right to go out and do whatever he wants! He vowed to love and respect her and be faithful, and that’s what he’s supposed to do regardless of the fact that he brings in all the money. You saying he should get rid of her, but he cheated too. They are both wrong and you can’t justify his actions by saying he makes the money so he makes the rules. This is America, and being a wife does not equal being a concubine, maid, housekeeper, or a blind doormat who takes whatever her husband dishes out just because he paid the bills. If you really think that, then it’s wonderful that you don’t want to get married, because you wouldn’t make a decent husband anyway.
@Richard
She probably is used to spending lavishly and would have to get used to some kind of budget, but I don’t think for a minute that she was one of those wives that didn’t know anything about finances and relied on her husband to balance the bank book, and was just sort of a kept woman. It’s not every day that you hear about a pro athlete’s wife hoarding assests like that. On the one hand it’s theft, and that’s wrong, but on the other hand, I had to pour a little pinot out for Shaunie, cause if she did what she allegedly did, that’s on some Desperate Housewives type gangsta. For real though, that’s next level, right there, new frontier.
But yeah, you’re right about that celebrity thing, it’s gonna be a lot harder for her to get a table at a restaurant if she isn’t Mrs. O’niell
He damn well should! He’s such a whore and she’s still willing to work it out! That means she is DEDICATED!! (Or she’s just trying to secure that paper) hee hee!
@ Richard
please only lazy women I know are baby momma’s and groupie’s get it right. I can’t tell you how many reg.dudes I know that have a baby monmma, and complain how she don’t want to work. Shaq is married if he wants her to work what is stopping her-nothing.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel secure in a marriage. (Emotional, finicially and sexually)A man should take care of his family no matter what. Since when is it okay for a man not to have a job???He choose to get married SO he needs to support his family and stop acting like a bitch. Would you give your daughter a away to a man that can’t provide for her? Marriage and baby momma are tow differnt things.
Richard says:
Please read Pre-nup.
Okay you are proving my point! A pre -nup outlines what he or She will get if the marrige fails. The courts feel she deserve something something. Hate the game don’t hate the playa…Shaunie get yo money boo boo. I can’t hate on another woman’s hustle.
It seems that Shaq has the final say. He does not share the opinion that his marriage is worth saving. End of discussion.
She knows it…Shaq keep it moving
NO MAN wants to hit off/wife up a career baby momma (6 kids back to back), who was married to a famous celebrity athlete who has fukkked thousands of women over the last 15-20 years of his life including superhead. Plus that athlete is a 7-1 celebrity man-whore name Shaq.
She didn’t make that money and she don’t deserve 1/2 like all ya’ll greedy beiotches keep screamin!
Shaq was in the league for 10 years getting paid and was worth at least 100 Mil before she came along.
I hope he has a pre-nup: because it was good while it lasted. If he was tricking 10 stacks on his jump offs, you know she was living the goodlife. Lastest benz,new jewelry, vacations, endless cash…
Ain’t no 5 year puzzy worth half his ish…she didn’t make it. She didn’t have to cook (had a chef) or take care of the kids (nanny)
The only reason he married this career baby momma was because he thought he was doing the right thing in societies eyes (ya’ll would be talking about him like puffy)… Speaking of which, that’s exactly why puff ain’t marrying that chicken kim. 3 years later, ya’ll geese will be talking about how she deserves half of his $300 million empire for “putting up with his mess”….get the F out of here!
Noone is going to hit that raw either!!!
She is also scared because she ain’t in the majors, it’s back to the D-Leagues (budget and lifestyles)
All she deserves is child support (if she get’s custody) and 1 year of alimony to transition on her feet and get a 40k a year job…
@Nobody
Have you been reading? She’s not entitled to half of his networth, but depending upon the terms of the pre-nup, she could very well be entitled to half of what he earned while they were married, plus child support, and the shit she was allegedly hoarding on the side. Oh best believe Shaunie’s coming out of this paid, TRUST. And it’ll be enough for the cook, nanny, all of that
I would say that it is a money thing, and then it could be that she has 5 kids with him, and cannot imagined living alone! I think that she would be missing out on that money!
It’s different for guys. They can screw everyone on the planet, but their “girl” better not do anything!
If she wants him back, she’s got a good reason (and it’s probably more of a financial thing than “love”). Let his ass go girl. You are set for life anyway! She probably doesn’t want that knocked up whore to have him. Believe me girl, he’s gonna f*ck over her too!
Her broke ass wants his bank account bank! Run Shaq!
money should be an issue with her. think about it people…she’ll still be paid because she has children with green mile. this yamp needs to sign the papers and find a one woman man. SMH
@Richard
Please read Pre-nup.
So many lazy women want to get married so they can be SECURE/lazy.
You are only as secure as the work you put in your relationship.
I GUESS THAT’S WHAT BROKE ASS NIGGAZ SAY!
I think that this and all girls that marry bruthas should get super PAID!!
It sends a message to all athlete’s.
It sends a message to most!
Hey, if you wanna share your crap,get married.
If you wanna be the happiest kat of this planet,Do what i do! Live at the beach,hit the gym, and make love to as many honey’s as you can. ( AND YOU CAN TOO).wHO MADE THE LAW THAT WE MUST ALL GET HITCHED? it’s good for some kat’s,( with couples,all i see are 2 people fussing)
I get in my jeep and do what i do!
( i know that many will disagree,cause the church told u to)–hahahaha
Wanna be happy people,and keep your money in your pocket? Follow suit!
IF (and that’s a big IF) this sistah did in fact jack Diesel’s chips and “work out” with his personal trainer, I say cut the fat and get back to boozin’ and whoring. Life’s too short to reconcile with sheisty, money-hoarding hoes.
HOWEVER, if the rumours are bunk and she can prove she’s still a down-ass bitch, then kiss and make-up, especially for the lil’ knuckas.
NEVERTHELESS… boozin’ and whorin’ is so much more fun.
@cutemama
yamp? is that new slang? what’s a yamp?
@Tiray
I bet you do run through a women. They probably leave shortly after one of your speeches.
PREACH ON KELIS!!! I agree with you 100%!!
@Jus Another Opinion
please only lazy women I know are baby momma’s and groupie’s get it right. I can’t tell you how many reg.dudes I know that have a baby monmma, and complain how she don’t want to work. Shaq is married if he wants her to work what is stopping her-nothing.
Excuse me, I have a child by someone I am not married to (baby momma) and I work full-time, not all “baby mommas” are lazy and if you are a mother yourself, then you would know that raising a child is not easy and even more challenging when you are single. After I had my child I was unemployed for about 4 years, but that doesn’t mean I was lazy. I was trying to finish school and the stress of being a single parent placed a hardship on me. So please don’t say baby mommas are lazy, and eventhough you didn’t say All I take offense to that because I am a baby momma and I know it’s not easy.
Fight for your man, girl. He is a tall glass of water.
Shaunie …why on earth do you want that hulking sweaty (according to Superhead lol) negro back? Get custody, get your $$$, and get back with your personal trainer.
I mean you just know that Shaq is just nasty..and stank too in the morning especially, with crusty feet and crud up under his toenails, dry skin, and spittle at the corners of his mouth.. I am sure this is accurate description..but maybe I’ve been watching too many Flava of Love returns…TO me Shaq is like Big Flava
ilish
@Ilish
Any man who marries a woman who brings the overwhelming preponderance of the resources to the table is subject to similar conditions. See, unlike you females, this shyt is reality for me, not some competition sponsered by the feminist manifesto. I am resonably sure were stedman to marry Oprah, much of the power and priviledges would and should reside in the hands of Oprah for she is underwriting their lifestyle, not he. He understanding and accepting these realities prior to marrying her, would have to swallow his masculine pride. He, like Shaunie would be and is there of their own volition. Nobody made her stay there if she felt shaq was guilty of infidelity. She stayed because she knows shyt is all downhill after the Diesel! I know you women will circle the wagons and defend her with some bullshyt about her staying because of the children, but if she was concerned about the children she wouldn’t have been Phucking the hired help! Besides women enthusiactically abandon marriages all the time when the economics are in their favor, and to be damned with the effect it has on the children!
I’m sure Shaq told Shaunie how it was going to be…straight up when they first got married, and she still chose to marry him. Just like he did with superhead. He wanted her to stay at home and cater to him. For the record he and Karrine were together before he got married. Every woman knows that marrying a man that is an entertainer, pro sports, etc. infidelity comes with the territory..I don’t care how bad a chick you think you are. Now, what she needs to do is take that money, and invest it. That way she wont have to worry about this, cause she will have her own.
Girl make that money grow!!!
I GUESS SHE REALIZED HER PERSONAL TRAINER IS NOT PAID LIKE THE DIESEL!! LOL
he should end it and she will be fine she will still be rich so she can run off with her trainer now. she just needs to let it go and stop being greedy and trying to stay for more money. its not about the kids because she never said that.
@ilish
im a lil too old to be jumping on the “new” slang bandwagon. its a term some of my folks use…
@ Just another opinion
First of all, all of the screamin, emoting and name calling in the world isn’t going to change the reality of shyt. And you ask,”what the hell is reality?” The reality is the following: Shaq was a wealthy basektball player,cultural icon prior to meeting and marrying this chick. She contributed nothing to his economic ascension. Secondly, He wisely compelled her to sign a prenuptial agreement which limits what she would receive in the case of the dissolution of marriage. My understanding is that it is less than five million, which explains why she would start stealing shyt because she realizes that even with five million dollars, a house and 100,000 a month child support she can’t maintain the lifestyle in which she has become accustom. P-diddy pays 25 to 30K a month in child support, and let’s say for argument sake, The Diesels pays 100k a month. That’s only 1.2 million a year which doesn’t even put a dent in his pocket. So she loses all the way around. Additionally,let me give you a brief economic lessons on this kind of money. Shaq has had two, one hundred million plus contracts during his career plus 10 to 40 million annually in endorsements. So let’s assume he has 300 million from earned income plus it’s accrued interest. He can easily get a simple 10% annual return which would be 30 million plus each year in interest. So, aint shyt she can do to kill his pockets. Contrary to your misguided beliefs concerning everything earned during the marriage is evenly shared is not true in cases such as these. Most men of wealth have clauses in their prenupts that waive community property and calls for separate assets, never mixing the two. So what he earns is his, and she, hers. See: Halle Berry, not given Eric Benet shyt! Were was the expressed indignation from women over this injustice? Lastly, there is nothing wrong with being good to your woman, as long as she is good to you. If women wanted gaurentees that their men won’t cheat, they should marry computer geeks and nerds,not high profile athletes, but they don’t. But in the spirit of generosity, if it is true that she is entitled only to 5 million, I think that it would be a kind gesture to on his part to throw in another 5, plus an immediate annuities that pays her monthly. But you broads need to stop that we are women, we got your kids, so give me all your shyt because I deserve it nonsense. She was in the driver’s seat, she should have stayed her azz in it!
For the retards who didn’t understand Justsayin’s gospel: THE BITCH KNEW THE JOB WAS DANGEROUS WHEN SHE TOOK IT!
Besides it ain’t like that Shaunie is a saint, considering that she and Shaq was hooking up while she was still married to a Deacon of church. Both of them are hos.
Shaunie is smart for wanting to stay. Look at Juanita jordan? She only gets $150m while mj gets around $300m and counting to party with some young tramp.
Well in Jordan’s defense, Jaunita was getting a little long in the tooth…It was time for a trade in. I still don’t know why people of wealth get married. Why buy when you can leased and upgrade every two to three years. You know the old adgage: “THE ONLY BETTER THAN PUSSY, IS NEW PUSSY!”
She really does need to stop. Why beg a man that doesnt want you to take him back. Please, she is only doing this because she wont have access to his money anymore. As a woman (well one with self esteem I dont know if that is the case with Shaunie) when a man his made you look like a fool in public why would you beg for him to take you back? Shaunie needs to sit down because she will get child support, money from the prenup and the sale of the house so she will be set. Her greed is making her want to get back with him.
Yeah, but she loses a lot of perks. Suchas being invited to exclusive lavish parties, hobnobing with A-List celebs, Movie premiers, et al. Celeb ex-wives misses that shit.
I say that if she really still wants him, then maybe they should try to work it out. THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR POSITION IS THAT SHE WANTS TO WORK IT OUT.IS IT NOT IMPORTANT THAT HE WANTS IT ALSO?
That’s what you do when you are MARRIED. Taking vows before God is serious and divorcing is just taking the easy way out. LET’S SEE: DIVORCE RATE TODAY IS ABOUT 55% AND OF THAT 55%, 75% OF THE PETITIONERS FOR DIVORCES ARE WOMEN. SO YOU NEED TO HAVE A TALK WITH YOUR GIRLS.
Maybe she does just want his money, who knows. But like someone said earlier, everything made after the marriage begins is money THEY made; after you are married the two parties become ONE. CONTRARY TO WHAT WAS STATED BY THAT POSTER, THE ABOVE IS NOT TRUE. HALLE’S MONEY WAS NOT ERIC’S. DONALD TRUMPS MONEY WAS NOT MARLA MAPLES!
No matter how good his prenup is, she won’t be left broke. AND SHE SHOULDN’T BE LEFT BROKE
And Shaq would never ever get full custody of the kids. Judges almost always favor the woman. WELL THAT MAYBE SO, AND I BELIEVE FOR THE MOST PART,CHILDREN SHOULD BE WITH THE MOTYHERS,BUT IT DOESN’T MEAN WOMEN ARE ALWAYS THE BEST PARENTS.
Lastly @ Justsayin who said:
“Women are Idiots!!!! All this anything Shaq does, Shaunie should be able to do it as well bullshyt. Maybe in that carefully crafted feminist world a great many of you live, that maybe true, however, in the real world things don’t work that way.Here’s the deal, since you don’t do what he does( bring home millions of dollars, provide comfortably for you, the kids,your family),he is not bound by the same rules”
Dude are u serious? I agree with ilish. Just because a man makes the money does not give him the right to go out and do whatever he wants! He vowed to love and respect her and be faithful, and that’s what he’s supposed to do regardless of the fact that he brings in all the money. SWEETHEART, FIRST OF ALL MARRIAGE AS AN INSTITUTION IS IN ITS LAST DAYS. AND ONLY A WOMAN WOULD MAKE A STATEMENT LIKE “REGARDLESS OF WHO BRINGS IN THE MONEY.” SO IT IS YOUR OPINION THAT A WOMAN MARRIED TO A DRUG DEALER WHO RISK DEATH AND A LIFE TIME INCARCERATION SHOULD HAVE THE SAME VOICE AS HE WHO TAKES THE RISK. HE RISK HIS LIFE WHILE SHE ENJOYS THE FRUIT SITTING ON HER ASS, BUT THEIR LEGISLATIVE POWERS SHOULD BE EQUAL? THE WOMAN MARRIED TO THE MAN THAT MANAGES A 5 BILLION DOLLAR COPORATION SHOULD BE VIEWED EQUALLY? ALL OF THIS IS A PRODUCT OF YOUR FEMINIST CONDITIONING. “EQUALITY IS AN IDEA, NOT A REALITY.” NOTHING AND NOBODY IN THIS WORLD IS EQUAL. WE ARE ALL BORN WITH ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES. SO, STOP THE BULLSHYT. SHOW ME A NATION, SOCIETY OR CULTURAL IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY WERE EVERYONE IS EQUAL, AND I’LL SHALL KNEEL BEFORE YOUR ALTER!
You saying he should get rid of her, but he cheated too. SO A MAN’S EGO MUST BE EGALITARIAN AND ONLY BE EXPRESSED IN EQUAL PROPORTIONS TO A WOMAN? MORE FEMINSIT BULLSHYT!
They are both wrong and you can’t justify his actions by saying he makes the money so he makes the rules. YOU’RE FUNNY! PLEASE JOIN THE REAL WORLD.
This is America, and being a wife does not equal being a concubine, maid, housekeeper, or a blind doormat who takes whatever her husband dishes out just because he paid the bills. A WOMAN IS NOT REQUIRED TO TAKE ANYTHING SHE DOESN’T WANT TO. SHE IS NOT WITH VOLITION, OR ROBBED OF CHOICE. SHE COULD HAVE LEFT IF SHE FELT WRONGED. KIDNAPPING IS AGAINST THE LAW.
If you really think that, then it’s wonderful that you don’t want to get married, because you wouldn’t make a decent husband anyway. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MAY FEEL THAT WAY, BUT MY OPINON ON THIS MATTER DOES NOT DEFINE ME IN MY ENTIRETY. HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT I AM NOT ALREADY ENSCONCED IN A BLISSFUL SITUATION NOW? WHAT YOU THINK AND FEEL ABOUT ME IS SUBJECTIVE AND SPECULATIVE. MARRIAGE, LIKE ALL THINGS, HAVE RULES AND REGULATIONS DEFINED NOT BY THE CHURCH, BUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THEM. AND THIS MAY COME AS A SUPRISE TO YOU, ALL PEOPLE DON’T SEE THINGS IN THE SAME TRADITIONAL,ORTHODOX WAY AS YOU DO!
shaq & shaunie, yall better kiss and make up!
Marriage dont automatically transfer your spouse celebrity or talents to you. You can take the money, but I don’t see Juanita Jordan, or Magic Johnson’s babymama getting photographed at Koi, or on E! Puffy and others like him have the game on lockdown by having their babymuvas and jump-offs fighting for the No. 1 spot n in the process treating dem any ol way they please. They can get child support or alimony, but they can’t get court orders for A-list functions, they mess up and pooof! All the angry rantings in the world cannot change it.
Money aside many women love entertainers for the limelight and attention it gets them. It is the difference between being a miscellaneous rich boozy mama bussin bottles at the club, or Mrs _______ “hanging out with her gal-pals” on TMZ, or having the local stations come to your business or charity. If Shaunie was some random broad all the comments would be about her clothes, weave, and the ever present “she look ugly”, the only reason anyone cares about what she says is cos she is married to Shaqft.
Ah justsayin,
but we don’t know the terms of the prenup, so we can only speculate. 5 million dollars, puh-leez. These two weren’t some young,naive pair like Kobe and Vanessa. Shaunie and Shaq were older and educated when they wed, so being an accountant herself and knowing what she knows about the NBA lifestyle, I sincerely doubt that she and her lawyer were low-balled into signing a pre-nup for that small a payout. She’s not coming out of that divorce without at less than 20, and what would prevent her from marrying again are not her six children but the alimony checks that would cease with remarriage. So according to you, since Juanita didn’t contribute tangible, liquid monetary gains to the marriage, how much do you think should really should have gotten out of the divorce?
“But you broads need to stop that we are women, we got your kids, so give me all your shyt because I deserve it nonsense. She was in the driver’s seat, she should have stayed her azz in it!”
And you can’t compare most people to the super-rich. And I’m gonna try to tell you why in as few words as possible. Your view of women in marriage comes across as narrow and myopic, but See, for most men, wives are not liabilities that depreciate in value for every year they age, but assets which would explain why married couples are on average are wealthier than singles, more so now than ever with women’s earning potential in the workforce, and divorce, leaves couples, particularly women, (no matter what men tell you about women screwing them in the divorce) poorer than they were when they were married, especially if they sacrificed career gains for the sake of the home/children. IF you’re a woman who dropped out of the workforce to be a SAHM (stay at home mom) and your husband decides to up and leave, why on earth shouldn’t you be compensated for your services? This is why it would have been advantageous for Shaunie or any woman to have her own thing going on the side.
People need to stop hollering about Shaq being unfaithful to Shaunie. After all, she was cheating on AND left her first husband for Shaq. Did she REALLY think that she was going to be the last woman he would sleep with for the rest of his life after that??? Not to even mention that he’s a pro-baller worth millions with sleazy groupies crawling all over him. She was beyond deluded to believe for a millisecond that she would have a monogamous relationship with this man!
@ Jussaying
Get a life hoe. It’s one thing to comment but hell you seem to know everything that is going on in there marriage. I didn’t even bother to read that damn essay you wrote it is pointless.
And to the …..
To the scorned baby momma I honestly don’t know how to address this….please don’t use the “I’m a single black mother stuff. name one person who doesn’t have a life isn’t ruff nowadays. Speaking of I am a full time student, self sufficient 21yr old lady with two jobs. So don’t tell me about hard. Come on 4yrs with out a job ma. I bet you was sitting back collecting child support checks too. The longest I have ever been without a job is two weeks. That clearly show the vast difference of determination each has. I was speaking the truth and if you took offense to it then maybe it was your conscience speaking. This is not a diss, I’m being real. Not to be rude ma’am but you are fucking like the rest of use out here, what in Go’d green earth makes you better than the rest. I’m sure you have friends who had kids before you and you saw how hard they had it, why you choose not to protect yourself self remains a mystery. Basically that “I’m a single mother crap” is rant and is Tired. My mother was a single mother of 2 I NEVER knew my mother not to have a job and keep food on the table.
“CONTRARY TO WHAT WAS STATED BY THAT POSTER, THE ABOVE IS NOT TRUE. HALLE’S MONEY WAS NOT ERIC’S. DONALD TRUMPS MONEY WAS NOT MARLA MAPLES!”
But Donald’s money was Ivana’s, and Melania will probably leave her marriage to Donald (should they divorce) far richer than when she arrived, and the only person who’s fault it was for Eric not getting more money out of Halle in the divorce was Eric’s. Keep in mind that Eric was a wealthy entertainer himself, and probably didn’t need Halle’s money to maintain a high standard of living. Eric benet wasn’t K-Fed.
“SO A MAN’S EGO MUST BE EGALITARIAN AND ONLY BE EXPRESSED IN EQUAL PROPORTIONS TO A WOMAN? MORE FEMINSIT BULLSHYT!”
Oh you’re right about that, which is why I don’t date blue collar men. My education and paycheck might scare them.
“I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MAY FEEL THAT WAY, BUT MY OPINON ON THIS MATTER DOES NOT DEFINE ME IN MY ENTIRETY. HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT I AM NOT ALREADY ENSCONCED IN A BLISSFUL SITUATION NOW? WHAT YOU THINK AND FEEL ABOUT ME IS SUBJECTIVE AND SPECULATIVE. MARRIAGE, LIKE ALL THINGS, HAVE RULES AND REGULATIONS DEFINED NOT BY THE CHURCH, BUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THEM. AND THIS MAY COME AS A SUPRISE TO YOU, ALL PEOPLE DON’T SEE THINGS IN THE SAME TRADITIONAL,ORTHODOX WAY AS YOU DO!”
Traditional orthodoxy has it’s merrits. One could argue that Black America’s lack of traditional orthodoxy when it comes to marriage, education, and child rearing hasn’t benefited us much.
What part of this don’t you guys understand?
Shaunie was bonin’ the personal trainer, someone who
was already on his payroll! He could love her to death, but he’ll never see her in the same light.
No matter what, she was completely out of pocket!!!
She’s no longer that trophy wife that they all need in order to boost their self-image.
this is what I say. they have been together for a while now! they really need to talk about the kids and thier issues! they need to TALK!
a website claims they have info on the properties she “bought”
http://www.spymac.com/details/?2277567
^^^ Bossip this fag robbyrob is putting spyware on yo shyt don’t go to that website. Hopefully bossip will erase his comments.
I say it’s cheaper to keep her. First of all if Shauna wants to stay with him that’s her perogative and if he wants her back then let them work it out. Another thing I am tired of niggas thinking that it is okay to cheat on women, but as soon as a woman does the same, its the end of the world their feelings are all hurt and they are called tramps. I say treat them niggas like they treat you then they will know how it feels. Girls I say whenever a nigga cheats on you you fuck his friend, brother, uncle or his daddy. Embarass them and make them cry like a little be-otch!

From what Ive heard there is a clause in Shaq’s pre-nup with his wife Shaunie that she will receive a significant legal windfall if she can prove that Shaq cheated shouldnt be that hard to prove
Shag and Shauny with they 12 kids together need to grab hands and sing kumbyah… and go to sleep in the round bigggggggggggg bed
I agree with the LAST part of what(take that) had to say.
@ Jus saying
What in the hell are you going to say now jus saying. Don’t nobody but old horny gray hair white men and sell out black athletes agree with you.
Goodness…I miss Bossip’s late night posts.
Who gives a fcuk. Really.

Ilish,
I got a little time on my hand so, I’ll indulge you
You say: Ah justsayin, but we don’t know the terms of the prenup, so we can only speculate. 5 million dollars, puh-leez.
I say: My source is somone within the Lakers organization that is familiar with the specifics of his prenupt. You chicks act like marriage is a for profit enterprise. Remember, going into the negotiations, Shaq had all the leverage. She doesn’t sign, there’s no marriage. And why do you think it’s inconceivable that she would only get 5 million? Donald Trump was worth 3 or 4 Billions and Marla only got 5 million after five years of marriage.
You say: These two weren’t some young,naive pair like Kobe and Vanessa. Shaunie and Shaq were older and educated when they wed, so being an accountant herself and knowing what she knows about the NBA lifestyle, I sincerely doubt that she and her lawyer were low-balled into signing a pre-nup for that small a payout. She’s not coming out of that divorce without at less than 20, and what would prevent her from marrying again are not her six children but the alimony checks that would cease with remarriage.
I say: As you say, they were not young or naive, which means he was more sophisticated about his money. You don’t seem to understand how this thing works. Shaunice, nor her attorney had little or no leverage in the prenupt negotiations. She wasn’t bringing shyt!It was his money at risk, not hers. She either signed or got to stepping. She had no leverage and therefore could make no demands!
You said: So according to you, since Juanita didn’t contribute tangible, liquid monetary gains to the marriage, how much do you think should really should have gotten out of the divorce?
I said: Well I don’t personally think any puzzy is worth a 150 million dollars, but since they had no prenupt, I have no problem with her recieving that amount. Men, since the time of their marriage have learned better how to protect their hard earned assests. Kobe is a fool(no prenupt), Shaq’s not!
You say: And you can’t compare most people to the super-rich. And I’m gonna try to tell you why in as few words as possible. Your view of women in marriage comes across as narrow and myopic,
I say: First of all, If my views are myopic, then yours are self serving. You see, like most women all your arguments benefit the women only. You and your sisters girlfriends believe that men should expose all of their hard earned resources to capices of a woman because she is a wife. Yet, protect yourselves against male goldddiggers,(Eric Benet, Stedman Grahm)I thought marriage was about love etc..not a for profit endeavor. My basic argument is that he made the money, it’s his, not hers.
You say: but See, for most men, wives are not liabilities that depreciate in value for every year they age, but assets which would explain why married couples are on average are wealthier than singles, more so now than ever with women’s earning potential in the workforce, and divorce,
I say: You know nothing about what most men think about their wives or whether their value depreciates or not. Which explain the more than 55% divorce rates. The combined assets of marriage people may be more, but the single guy doesn’t have to split his, so what’s your point?
You say: IF you’re a woman who dropped out of the workforce to be a SAHM (stay at home mom) and your husband decides to up and leave, why on earth shouldn’t you be compensated for your services? This is why it would have been advantageous for Shaunie or any woman to have her own thing going on the side.
I say: I made no argument against his paying 100,000 monthly for the support of his kids, in addition to buying them a spacious comfortable home. My only objection is to the argument that shaunice is entitled to upkeep or maintaince. If women are going to get the same in divorce as in marriage, what’s her motivation to be a good wife? And once again, she didn’t make the money, he did!
Listen, I have no beef with women getting their share when they are entitled to it. For example: BET owner Bob Johnson’s wife was with him from the beginning. She supported and nurtured him during his ascesion. So when he many years later decided he wanted to trade her in. I fully supported her getting Half of the assets. She was there for the entire ride. I have friend who was married early and later became a successful surgeon. He decided to trade his wife in for newer model and I supported her in her quest for half, including a percentage of his future earnings. So contrary to your beliefs, I’m not myopic on this matter. I just not with this marry a high profile brother for five years and walk away with half his shyt! Lastly, I think any woman marrying a high profile man has to be realistic about what she is getting into. There are pro’s and cons. Just as a man getting involved with highly attractive women, there are issues that comes with that package as well.
@ Jussaying
Get a life hoe. It’s one thing to comment but hell you seem to know everything that is going on in there marriage. I didn’t even bother to read that damn essay you wrote it is pointless.
JUST ANOTHER OPINION
I APOLOGIZE FOR TAXING YOUR MENTAL STAMINA. I SEE THAT IT IS LIMITED IN SUPPLY. CERTAINLY NOT FULLY DEVELOPED. AND WHAT A LITTLE MOUTH YOU HAVE ON YOU. I BET THE FELLOWS ARE CHOPPING AT THE BITS FOR A HOODRAT LIKE YOURSELF. AND REMEMBER, READING IS FUNDAMENTAL!!!!!
@ ILISH
YOU SAY: But Donald’s money was Ivana’s, and Melania will probably leave her marriage to Donald (should they divorce) far richer than when she arrived, and the only person who’s fault it was for Eric not getting more money out of Halle in the divorce was Eric’s. Keep in mind that Eric was a wealthy entertainer himself, and probably didn’t need Halle’s money to maintain a high standard of living. Eric benet wasn’t K-Fed.
I SAY: YES, IVANA WAS PAYED NICELY, HOWEVER SHE DIDN’T GET AS MUCH AS SHE WANTED OR 50%. IT ONLY UNDERSCORES THE NECESSITY OF A PRENUPT. AND WHEN A WOMAN MARRIES A RICH MAN, SHE SHOULD LEAVE RICHER!HOWEVER,I’M CERTAIN THAT THE DONALD HAS AN IRONCLAD PRENUPT WITH HER AS WELL. AS FAR AS ERIC BENET IS CONCERNED, HE IS NOT WEALTHY, BUT THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HALLE EARNED DURING THEIR MARRIAGE BEING HALF HIS. YOU SEE HOW YOU WOMEN VIEW THINGS DIFFERNTLY WHEN THE SITUATION IS REVERSE. WE START HEARING ALL THE SELF SERVING RATIONALIZATIONS. HELL, HALLE WASN’T BROKE WHEN SHE DIVORCED DAVID JUSTICE (1ST HUSBAND) NOR DID SHE NEED HIS MONEY TO CONTINUE HER LIFE STYLE, BUT SHE STILL TRIED TO GANK HIM FOR HIS MONEY.
YOU SAID: “SO A MAN’S EGO MUST BE EGALITARIAN AND ONLY BE EXPRESSED IN EQUAL PROPORTIONS TO A WOMAN? MORE FEMINSIT BULLSHYT!”
Oh you’re right about that, which is why I don’t date blue collar men. My education and paycheck might scare them.
I SAY: DUE YOUR THING GIRL, BUT UNDERSTAND THAT MINDSET WHEN A BROTHER EXPRESSES IT.
YOU SAID: Traditional orthodoxy has it’s merrits. One could argue that Black America’s lack of traditional orthodoxy when it comes to marriage, education, and child rearing hasn’t benefited us much.
I SAY: I CONCUR WITH YOU ON YOUR ABOVE STATEMENTS, BUT BE MINDFUL THAT MOST OF US NO LONGER FOLLOW ORTHODOXY IN ANY WAY WHICH HAS HAD A DEGENERATIVE EFFECT UPON THE COLLECTIVE.
They’re a cute couple and they should do everything possible to make their marriage work and then if there’s no other option, then go their separate ways. They should think about their marriage vows (”through thick and thin”) and their children. Marriage is tough and you can’t split every time you have a problem. I know people who faced worse and have stuck together.
@Kensington
Its actually the norn for the man to get joint legal custody. The woman usually gets primary physical custody, but unless the man is a danger to his kids, he cant be denied joint legal custody of his child.
Shaq’s net worth is estimated to be over $100 million. With 5 kids, Shaunie can expect AT LEAST $100k per month in child support (probably more). That’s 1.2 mil per year, $12 mil over just the next 10 years. So with that plus whatever the prenup gives her, she’ll be fine. Ant she’s a cute girl, even after 5 kids. Wont be to hard for her to find a new man.
I donno what to think of this whole mess…They are both wrong in this situation and should go to marriage counseling….They’ve both cheated on eachother and there’s no way to justify one situation based on another…nobody is right here and nobody is thinking about the children in this situation..only when it comes down to money and how much shaq will have to pay does the children come into the picture and that’s a shame…people always think money will make everything ok…but you do have a lot of rich kids that are screwed up in the mind after while. I honestly think Shaunie wants back in because of the lifestyle she had….yes if they divorce she will have millions true….but I’m pretty sure she will lose her memberships to country clubs and spas because nobody would want “the woman that cheated on the famous basketball player with his own trainer”….I’m sure restaurants would make her wait on line instead of reserving a table for her…She wants that star status and she knows she will get it if “shaq has reconcile with his wife and forgave all her mistakes”…it’s all publicity and its sad how people do the dumbest things for it.
shaunie wants shaq’s money back
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ http://www.spymac.com/details/?2271078 ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
LOL, @ these novels some yall wrote….all i gotta say is BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, ahem BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to her wanting to get back with him, girl take HIS money and throw the deuces!!! it quite obvious he doesn’t wanna be with her any more so why stick around???
Take his money?….lol….that typical for a groupie broad to say. How about get some skills and make your own money? Women that get with professional athletes know the trade-off for their life of luxury.
@Lady Architect.
There’s no proof anywhere that she cheated on him. Just internet rumors.
When a man experiences pushing a baby out, then I will see how “entitled” he is. You know, whatever you say about her, she did have 4 babies with this man. She will always be taken care of, no matter what happens. It is not about how much money he makes, it is about the kind of man and husband he is, and if she felt she needed to stash money that in the marriage belongs to BOTH of them, then there must have been a reason. She has been aware that he had other(s) on the side, and well what idiot, male or female wouldn’t look out for themselves and the future? If he had been doing right, she would have done what she needed to do to be a good wife. He set the tone, and well she followed with her own tune. For the kids sake, let’s hope they reconcile, but if he really just wants out, then he’ll do the selfish thing and leave. Shaunie will be fine, emotionally, and financially.
I DON’T REALLY GIVE MUCH IF A FUCK ON THIS ISSUE BUT I HAVE TO SAY I AM LEANING MORE TOWARDS JUST SAYING.
I HAVE NOTICED THAT WOMEN (OF ALL RACES) TEND TO BE VERY HYPOCRITICAL WHEN IT COMES TO DIVORCE, PRENUPS, PAYOUT ETC.
FOR EG, HERE IN UK, SOME OF THESE ‘WOMENS RIGHTS’ PPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW FAR THINGS HAVE COME AND SAYING THAT NOW WOMEN ARE BEING MORE PROTECTED FINANCIALLY AFTER A DIVORCE (IE GETTING MONEY FROME HUSBAND). THEN IN THE SAME BREATH, THEY BEGAN LAMENTING ABOUT HOW WOMEN WHO HAVE MONEY HAVE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES DURING A DIVORCE (TO PREVENT THE HUSBAND FROM GETTING ANY MONEY FROM THEM). THEN I NOW THOUGHT TO MYSELF ‘SO WHY IS IT NOW DIFFERENT?’
I SUPPORT LARGE PAYOUTS TO THE WOMAN IF :
1. THEY HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR A LONG TIME AND
2. SHE CONTRIBUTED IN ANY WAY (FINANCIALLY, EMOTIONALLY, QUITTING JOB/CAREER TO BRING UP KIDS ETC) TO THE BUILDING OF THAT WEALTH.
3. MARRIAGE CONTRACT WAS BROKEN (INFIDELITY ON HIS PART)
ON THE OTHER HAND, IF THE GUY MADE MOST OF THE MONEY B4 THEY WERE MARRIED, WHY SHOULD SHE WANT TO GET HER HANDS ON A BIG CHUNK OF IT? ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR JUST A FEW YEARS (LIKE 5)?
ON THE OTHER HAND, ASSUMING THE WOMAN IS THE ONE WHO WAS UNFAITHFUL?
NOW WHAT IF IT WAS TURNED AROUND AND IT WAS THE WOMAN WHO HAD ALL THE MONEY?
@jussayin shut the fuck up! You sound like u just watch videos and listen to hip hop that degrades women and thinks that as long as a man is taking care of a woman she needs to do what he says and he can still do whateva he wants. Nigga please you are a joke and you will always be with a low self esteem hood rat. If you my husband and you think it is okay to cheat and do whateva just cuz you bringin in millions u gotta another thing coming. He put her life in danger numerous times from cheating (HIV) so she should fuck with his life or got out of the marriage it looks like she chose to fuck with his life jus like he did hers! She aint Kim Porter aint no woman got time for that shit nigga its 2007 u can die from sex! Get yo mine right!
“SO A MAN’S EGO MUST BE EGALITARIAN AND ONLY BE EXPRESSED IN EQUAL PROPORTIONS TO A WOMAN? MORE FEMINSIT BULLSHYT!”
Oh you’re right about that, which is why I don’t date blue collar men. My education and paycheck might scare them.
That was a joke, and given your views about “egalitarian male egos”, I think you understood why I said it. The truth is as men, you’re not in the same position as you once were. It’s foolish to even suggest that all men’s attitudes haven’t evolved as women have made strides in the classroom and workplace and vise versa. You’re also viewing women’s worth through the context of men,as if you determine our value and we have little to no say in the matter.
You say: First of all, If my views are myopic, then yours are self serving. You see, like most women all your arguments benefit the women only. You and your sisters girlfriends believe that men should expose all of their hard earned resources to capices of a woman because she is a wife. Yet, protect yourselves against male goldddiggers,(Eric “Benet, Stedman Grahm)I thought marriage was about love etc..not a for profit endeavor. My basic argument is that he made the money, it’s his, not hers.”
I say: And how are my views self serving if men benefit more from marriage than women. I never said that marriage was solely about love. In fact, You were the first to frame marriage within the context of a business transaction with your first post about about money and privilages and power, not I. And you are bordering on mysoginist, referring to women as pussy and such. I mean I’m sitting here referring to you as a dick or nigga, so kindly cut it out . . . as if the only reason marriage is on the decline is solely because of men not wanting to commit. Did you read what I wrote? And here’s what I’m saying about your view of marriage being narrow. You’re only looking at it through the prism of a wedding ring being an obstacle to multiple sex partners. What you don’t seem to be considering are the financial, health and child rearing benefits that married men receive in comparison to their single counterparts. If marriage didn’t stand to make men wealthier, why are married men wealthier than singles? And that’s funny that you should bring up Bob Johnson and his ex-wife. She was supporting him financially as he was starting BET. Who knows if the network would have gotten off the ground the way it did, had he not married and not been reliant on his wife’s income. Juanita derserved what she got or close to it, if for no other reason than keeping her mouth shut about Mike’s philandering and not tainting Mike’s marketability and public image ala Jumanna Kidd.
You say: You know nothing about what most men think about their wives or whether their value depreciates or not. Which explain the more than 55% divorce rates. The combined assets of marriage people may be more, but the single guy doesn’t have to split his, so what’s your point?
I Say: Are you kidding me? Here’s what I’m talking about when I say narrow and myopic. Are you so arrogant as to believe that women don’t initiate divorce, that the 55% divorce rate exists solely because of men leaving their wives? AARP just came out with a study saying that 2/3 of divorces among people ages 40 and over are initiated by women.
YOU SAID: I just not with this marry a high profile brother for five years and walk away with half his shyt
Women pay alimony too. Look at the Britney K-Fed divorce. He is entitled to a significant portion of what Brit made while they were married. J-Lo had to pay Chris Judd millions for the 15 minutes they were married. It works both ways. K-Fed, Chiss Judd, and Shaunie will be poorer than they were when they were married, that’s the financial incentive to be a good spouse.
I might get to some of your other points later, but not now.
KIDS ARE NOT AN ENTITLEMENT. THE PHRASE ‘IS HE ‘ENTITLED’ TO CUSTODY OF HIS KIDS’ IS TOTALLY PREPOSTEROUS. DIDN’T HE PLAY A PART IN THEM COMING IN TO BEING? AS LONG AS HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR THEM (FROM THE BEGINNING), IS A GOOD FATHER AND POSES NO DANGER TO THEM, HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO SEE THEM. THET HE DID NOT CARRY THEM FOR NINE MONTHS IS NOT VERY RELEVANT.
AS FOR THE PERSON WHO SAID THAT A MAN HAS TO TAKE CARE OF AND PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY BECAUSE HE DECIDED TO HAVE THAT FAMILY IN THE FIRST PLACE,…YOU ARE RIGHT BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE EXACT SAME APPLIES TO WOMEN.
I BELIEV IN EQUAL RIGHTS BUT SOME WOMEN JUST TAKE THE PISS. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A STAY AT HOME MOM OR A HOUSEWIFE BUT THOSE WHO ARE NEED TO GET REAL. BEING A MOTHER IS A FULL-TIME JOB BUT SO IS BEING A FATHER. THAT YOUR HUSBAND DOESN’T DO THINGS AT HOME DOESN’T MEAN THAT BEING A FATHER IS LESS DEMANDING BUT THAT YOU ALLOW HIM NOT TO DO ANYTHING. ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOUR (UNWRITTEN AND UNSPOKEN) AGREEMENT IS THAT YOU DO THE HOUSE JOBS WHILE HE BRINGS IN THE MONEY, FINE BUT THEM ACCEPT THE RAMIFICATIONS AS WELL.
THOSE OF U WHO ARE SINGLE MOTHERS, WELL DONE BUT IF YOU WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT PLS DON’T. NO ONE FORCED YOU TO GET PREGNANT UNLESS IF U WERE RAPED (WHICH I HOPE YOU WEREN’T). DESPITE WHAT MOST O
