She going to be mad as f*** when she sees this. But at the end of the day, Shaunie O’Neal, she knows what’s up. I f****** her two weeks before she got married to the pastor. She was like, no, she told me she was like, ‘I need some good d*** before I go down the aisle. I said, ‘I got you,’

Furthermore, he alleged that their relationship involved financial remuneration as well. Luce claimed Shaunie offered him $10,000 initially, but he ended up getting $50,000.

Luce Cannon’s allegations sent shockwaves through Shaunie’s fan base, sparking disbelief and surprise across social media. As of the time of writing this report, Shaunie herself has not provided any comments on the speculation.

Shaunie was ‘nervous’ while writing about ex-husband Shaquille in upcoming memoir

She said:

I always had a fear of sharing too much and of telling my story that involved anybody else. I didn't want to disrespect someone else's story, even if it was a part of mine, but as I get older and do more things in the entertainment industry, I found that people have a misconception of who I am.

When asked how she felt about her ex-husband while writing the memoir, she said:

Anything involving Shaquille is always a sketchy thing because he is who he is, and despite what our story is, no one ever wants to hear what could come across as not the greatest reputation. I'm literally telling my story and my journey, which he was a part of. So I've always been a little nervous about that, but I think I did a good job at sharing my story without destroying him because that's not my intent at all, ever.

Shaunie married Pastor Keion Henderson in Anguilla in 2022. It will be interesting to see how and if she responds to the latest allegations.
