Shaunie O’Neal knows drama, both on and off camera. In her personal life, she’s dealing with a high-profile divorce from basketball star Shaquille O’Neal. In her career, she provides a glimpse into the hectic lives of NBA wives, girlfriends and exes as the executive producer of Vh1’s new series, Basketball Wives.
The soon to be former Mrs. O’Neal uses her show as a platform to guide other NBA affiliated women on their quests to make sense of their situations. But just when it seems like she was set for a smooth new start, her first TV show received negative criticism from bloggers, and reports surfaced that her future former hubby is out to shut her production down.
However, Shaunie remains calm and collected. VIBE caught up with her to find out how she deals with naysayers and blog hateration, get her thoughts on cheating men and jump offs, and her plans to build a reality TV franchise.
