This story could all very well be sour grapes by Wade's soon to be ex wife, but could you imagine the up-roar it would bring by the Portland Media if it was Roy they were talking about? OMG 24/7 baby.....for years. In Miami I bet it blows though in a couple of days. http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/2235782,dwyane-wade-wife-lawsuit-actress-050410.article The wife of NBA star Dwyane Wade has filed a lawsuit against the Miami Heat guard’s alleged actress girlfriend, claiming her conduct around their young children has inflicted emotional distress. Siohvaughn Wade claims actress Gabrielle Union “engaged in sexual foreplay with Dwyane Wade" in front of Wade’s 8-year-old and 2-year-old sons while on an unsupervised visitation to the basketball star’s Miami home, according to a suit filed Tuesday in Cook County Circuit Court. The suit also claims Wade's oldest son was allowed to play unsupervised in or around the Miami home’s pool at night. Wade and Union ignored the boy, whose “screams and cries” eventually got the attention of Wade’s mother, Jolinda Wade, who took the boy inside, according to the suit. The 8-year-old later told court-appointed child representative Lester Barelay what happened and asked him “to put his father in jail…” so he would not have to return to the home, which he calls “the house where the woman kissing daddy lives,” the suit said. The suit also claims the younger child nearly drowned while in his father’s care and Union drove the boys to the park with his oldest son in the front seat. On one visitation, Wade allegedly orchestrated a meeting between Union and the boys, where he introduced the actress as his “girlfriend” and said “that is why your mom and I are going to divorce,” according to the suit. Dwyane and Siohvaughn Wade have been “sweethearts” since they were 15 years old and currently are still married but are involved in a divorce proceeding, the suit said. The boy’s mother claims the sexual foreplay in front of the boys and the orchestrated meeting to introduce the children to their future stepmother caused emotional distress. The older child has sought medical treatment for stress and anxiety, has developed nervous habits, experiences headaches, and is generally anxious to the point of “significant” hair loss causing bald spots, according to the suit. The boy is currently seeking court-mandated mental evaluations at the University of Chicago, the suit said. Siohvaughn Wade and the boys are seeking more than $50,000 from Union at a trial. A Tuesday night message left with Siohvaughn Wade’s attorney, William P. Suriano, was not immediately returned. A message left with the NBA Players Association seeking comment from Dwyane Wade’s agent also was not returned. Dwyane Wade -- an alumni of Richards High School in Oak Lawn -- has played all seven seasons of his professional career for the Miami Heat. The 28-year-old is a six-time NBA all-star and has won an NBA championship and gold medal. He has the option to opt out of his current contract this summer, and the Chicago Bulls are rumored to be interested in signing him.
I believe I said "could you believe the up-roar if this happened to a Portland Player" I get that it is a he said she said. The story seems a bit vindictive. But do think Canzano would care? The Portland TV stations? They have way too much other stuff in Miami to care about Gabrielle. BTW props to Wade on that: http://www.google.com/search?q=gabr...ox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7DKUS
If it would have been Rasheed or an Oregon Duck, crucified. If it would have been Damon, it would have been brushed off like his pot arrests were.
No kidding. One side usually just wants the hefty child support money that goes hand in hand with custody... Gotta make the opponent look as bad as possible during the proceedings.
They probably do. It's probably just not somebody on TV or something though. There are beautiful women all over the planet. Some of them just get more exposure than others.
I'm not sure who disgusts me more. A) Wade for cheating on his wife. B) His ex for being an attention whore. C) The media for getting sucked into covering the story.
First, has no one pointed out that Siohvaughan Wade has a) lied about Wade in court before and is currently in a suit for defamation, and that over a month ago 300 pages of filings were produced documenting her in summary "as made it evident that she is unstable, dishonest, unbalanced, unwilling to accept responsibility for her actions, not of good character, and therefore, unfit to be a custodial parent,". Some of the reasons were "exhibited threatening behavior, had extramarital affairs, uses abusive parenting methods and is unwilling to let the 2006 NBA finals MVP see his children." I'm not a judge, but in a "he said, she said" case I'd imagine that someone who's lied to a court in a filing before and has a suit against her for mental instability would be at a disadvantage.
