“Don’t f**k after Shaq…” American comedian was ‘traumatized’ after dating Shaquille O’Neal’s ex-girlfriend

Comedian Deon Cole once dated one of Shaquille O'Neal's former girlfriends and could not live up to the Hall of Famer's standards with women.

Comedian Deon Cole and Shaquille O'Neal

Shaquille O’Neal stands at 7′ 1″ and weighs 325 lbs. Those figures and the fact that he terrorized opposition players in his twenty seasons in the NBA are enough to make people wary of tussling with him, especially when it involves matters close to the heart.

Comedian Deon Cole is a close friend of the Big Aristotle but almost ended up in a soup due to an innocent mistake. The actor recently appeared on the Club Shay Shay show to talk about various topics surrounding his life and his work.

When host Shannon Sharpe asked him about his relationship with a woman O’Neal dated once, Cole recalled an incident from his life.

Don’t ever f**k after Shaq. That’s the point. I didn’t know at the time she told me later. After I got up, I was like, ‘Man that was real hollow’. I was just like, ‘Who did you used to deal with?’ And she told me, and I was like, ‘Get the f**k out of here’. She should tell everybody before. That was traumatizing.

Deon Cole said

Cole made it clear that had he known the information beforehand before, he would not have dated that woman. Cole agreed with Sharpe when he mentioned that the comedian could not fill the big man’s shoes, literally or figuratively. Cole agreed that it is difficult to be even close to how the Los Angeles Lakers legend is with women.

Shaquille O’Neal has the propensity to be good to people, especially women he dated, in every way possible. He continues to do so with his former wife Shaunie O’Neal even after their divorce. For Cole, it was a tough act to follow, which is why he prefers not to date any of the Hall of Famer‘s exes.

Shaquille O’Neal had numerous relationships

While it is unknown which woman Deon Cole and Shannon Sharpe were talking about, Shaquille O’Neal’s first official relationship was with Arnetta Yardbourgh, with whom he shares a daughter Taahirah. He then married Shaunie O’Neal in 2002 and the marriage lasted till 2011. The former couple have four children together.

Since then, he has been in a relationship with Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander and model Laticia Rolle. Then there were also rumors of him dating Hollywood actress Annie Ilonzeh after they were spotted together a few times.

However, it is unclear as to what his relationship status is currently. But Shaquille O’Neal continues to be there for both the mothers of his children even though they have moved on in their lives. These reasons are probably why it is hard to replicate how the NBA legend is with his women.
