shaqcheated.jpg Oh goodie! Another pro athlete cheating scandal!

Shaquille O'Neal reportedly had an affair with model Vanessa Lopez, and Radar reports that when Lopez thought she was pregnant with Shaq's baby, the NBA star started harassing her! Didn't he think of paying her off like Tiger supposedly did with his ladies?

A source close to Lopez claims that O'Neal and several of his cronies began threatening the model last September, and the police ended up getting involved. Sounds like a mess!

Superlawyer Gloria Allred has confirmed to X17online that she will be representing Lopez, and while she couldn't comment further on the matter, you can bet we'll be hearing some juicy details in the days and weeks to come!
