Vanessa Lopez filed a suit against the basketball legend, who she claims she had a five year relationship with. Lopez claims Shaq started harassing her shortly after she announced to him that she thought she was pregnant. Shaq initially accused her of sleeping with someone else, then when she broke off their relationship she claims the threats began....
Lopez alleges that she and O`Neal would meet up "in Miami at the Loews Hotel, at The Ritz Carlton, at the Marriott in Lake Mary Florida amongst other locations to facilitate their trysts". She says everything had been set up by O`Neal in order for him to have these clandestine meetings with her. She also states that she went to O`Neal`s house on several occasions while his wife was away and that they were "intimate at these locations". She says all in all they were intimate at "least fifty times."
During the conference Lopez`s attorney, Gloria Allred, revealed that in September 2009 “Ms. Lopez was late with her period and thought that she might be pregnant. She communicated this to Mr. O’Neal who responded by stating that she needed to tell the baby’s father and then went on to state that there was no way that the baby could be his. “Mr. O’Neal knew that he and Ms. Lopez engaged in unprotected sex and that they had been together numerous times in the preceding months and that she had not been with anyone else during this period of time.
She felt that his response was very disrespectful and she was deeply hurt and offended. Though he apologized to her for his reaction she told him that it was over and that she wanted him to leave her alone.”
