Shaquille O'Neal is mad as hell.
Estranged wife Shaunie's new VH-1 reality show,'Basketball Wives' which she created and executive produced, is striking a nerve with her soon-to-be ex. Reportedly, the gentle giant feels that the show is making one too many negative references about him, and he wants it stopped immediately.
According to TMZ, Shaq's lawyers sent the reality-spinning network a letter, stating that Shaunie signed a confidentiality agreement. If Shaunie even mentions her hubby's name on the show, she and her production company could expect to get hauled into court by Shaq's slam dunk legal eagles faster than you can say "foul shot!"
The next show is slated for April 18, and, allegedly, the spotlight will be on Shaunie and on her relationship with Shaq.
Unidentified sources told TMZ that it is still up in the air whether the episode will actually make it to the waves.
Stay tuned!
In the meantime, watch the first episode of 'Basketball Wives' here:

I thought the shaunie's show was a HOT MESS! There shouldn't be no more episodes! I couldn't believe when I saw the one ex-wife shakin her behind, droppin it REAL LOW on the floor, touchin the other females, and just dancin real NASTY and TRIFE at a contest! It was just too much! No wonder, your nasty behind is divorced? This show is so negative! I didn't see anything positive? This is a bad image to show the audience who are watchin. The other new reality shows that came on before and after this show "Chilli's Reality" and "Brandy and Lil brotha Ray J" was too ghetto and wasn't feelin it? I thought on Brandy and Ray's Reality Show, the mother was too loud and ghetto. It was over the top. Chili's show, it just didn't do anything for me? Hopefully, the network won't bring any of these sorry reality shows back on!

It's getting hot now. I don't think they could stop her from mentioning him unless she is saying something that is totally untrue, so good luck with that Shaq.

What makes it so hot? See people such as yourself don't have anything else to do but see other folk fall. The show should be pertaining to her and her future not bashing Shaq. You must live a borring life to say that this is getting hot. More so to say you're a HOT MESS!!!! Stop getting off on other folk lives and straighten yours up cause i'm pretty sure that yours is a mess....

I totally agree with you. VH-1 must be running outta po ex-wannabes to do reality shows because Brandy/Ray J's is boring, Chili is definitely boring 'cause she is a low register "non-confrontational" person.
And the BB Ex-wives is just another ATL 'un-real' housewives show. First of all, there is only ONE ex-wife and that's Shaunie.
"Royce" the slutty ex-dancer for Miami and Orlando that you and everyone else was repulsed by, is by no means anybody's EX-WIFE!!!
'Evelyn'- ex-FIANCE of Antoine Walker (spent years with him hopin' he'd marry her and he didn't-lol)
'Erikka' - ex-GIRLFRIEND of Rasual Butler
'Suzie' - ex-GIRLFRIEND of Michael Olowokandi
'Jennifer' - WIFE of Eric Williams
'Gloria' - FIANCE of Matt Barnes
So what is the premise of a show whose title DOES NOT represent it 'cause there IS only ONE BB WIFE on the show!!!!
So, I think Shaq can and may shut down the show if Shaunie wants to use it as a platform to air Shaq's dirty laundry.
But you can bet she ain't gonna say nuttin' bout the fact that she was MARRIED when she started sleepin' with Shaq!!!!

this comment is for the person before me.
Most of these women knoe exactly what they are getting into.Its very clear most celebs/athelets cheat. Most men cheat for that matter rich or poor. And wether these women think the men will"come around" or not is niether here nor there. They know good and well that if you have at least one child with the men that you are set finacially for life. I think it's sad because the kids lack one parent in the house hold but such is life at least they have money to make up for the rest.

Yeah not so "low register" that she demands the man she chooses MUST have a BIG banger in his pants! LOL!

Before everyone start jumping on Shaq maybe he has a valiant point, if he or any other man was to come out with a tell all book talking about their soon to be ex-wives everyone outhere would have a fit saying they should be a gentlemen and don't do this or they gone too far; but is okay for a woman to these so called reality shows talking about their husbands,boyfriends,and/or fiances.

Thanks Diane, Can you relay that to "pennypiece" cause she don't realize what part rose royce is playing. Shaq did not have to say anything it would have gone away by itself.
