So in a November 2008 email conversation with Newsweek scribe Allison Samuels, Shaquille O’Neal casually mentioned that former teammate Dwyane Wade was romantically involved with actress Lauren London.
Well, actually he said: “Loren is d wade’s girl”
When Samuels protested that Wade– who was married at the time– was involved with long-time rumored mistress Gabrielle Union, Shaq responded, in Shaq fashion: “He gottem all…”
Shaq– who was once outed by teammate Kobe Bryant for paying “more than a million dollars” in hush money to mistresses– clearly didn’t think his email conversation with Samuels would ever become public.
But then it was among emails and texts filed in an ongoing local lawsuit. A judge sealed the messages, but we were able to get them anyway.
Which is all just a lot of context to say that last night, Dwyane Wade took to Twitter to deny any romantic involvement with Lauren London:
Wade’s publicist, Amy Jacobs, emailed us to make sure we set the record straight regarding “Dwyane Wade cheating on Gabrielle Union with Lauren London.”
But hold on — wasn’t Wade still embroiled in a divorce from his wife, Siovaughn, at the time — with Gabrielle being the proverbial woman on the side? Can one cheat on a goomah with another goomah? Can somebody get Tony Soprano on the horn? Our head is starting to hurt.
Update: Jacobs called to clear up our confusion: “Wade was married at the time. He was not having an affair with either Gabrielle Union or Lauren London.”
