OT- Shocking Dwayne Wade Story

[TJFordisGod]

Heating up: Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade's divorce from wife Siohvaughn, his high school sweetheart. In legal papers, she alleges he abandoned his children, committed adultery, and infected her with an unspecified sexually transmitted disease. She wants the names of ''all of his sexual partners'' during their six-year marriage.

Dwyane petitioned for the divorce last May in Cook County, Ill. They wed in Chicago on May 18, 2002.

Dwyane's Windy City attorney, James Pritikin, issued a statement: ``These malicious allegations are absolutely false and we look forward to the opportunity to dispute them in court.''

Dwyane turns 27 on Saturday. He and Siohvaughn, 27, have two boys, Zaire, a first-grader who will be 7 next month, and Zion, 1. Siohvaughn moved back to Chicago with the kids last year.

Dwyane's Heat salary is $14,410,581, according to published reports. He hauls in millions more from major endorsements such as Gatorade and Converse. He has a dozen vehicles, including four Cadillacs, four Mercedes-Benzes and a Maybach, court papers say.

The All-Star has been romantically linked to actress Gabrielle Union, 36, once married to former Jacksonville Jaguar Chris Howard.

From Siohvaughn's pleading: ``Dwyane has dissipated substantial sums of marital property including . . . buying his mother a $2 million church; placing substantial sums of money in an account with another woman; providing numerous friends and family members with unfettered access to accounts with hundreds of thousands of dollars of marital funds from which they made substantial withdrawals . . .''

Meanwhile, she says, he cut her off financially.

Dwyane, named a ''Father of the Year'' in 2007 by the National Father's Day Committee, has gone ''months'' without seeing his boys, Siohvaughn says. His ''failure to spend time with them . . . has resulted in the children at times being afraid of him; in fact, Zion . . . does not recognize or know Dwyane.'' She wants sole custody, and support.

She also says she has suffered ''grievous physical, emotional and mental injury'' from the STD, diagnosed in the fall of '07. (The infection is not HIV or a ''killer thing,'' sources say.) Dwyane and his ''paramour or paramours'' are liable, she alleges.

'Dwyane must disclose the identity of all of his sexual partners during the parties' marriage,'' says her counter-petition, prepared by attorney Michael J. Berger of Chicago. Siohvaughn has another Chicago lawyer, Dorene Marcus.

Says Pritikin: ``It is sad that an obviously angry and bitter woman will go to any lengths to publicly damage Mr. Wade.''

Siohvaughn speaks the truth, Marcus insists. ''A person's public persona does not necessarily reflect his behavior in private,'' Marcus adds. ``Mrs. Wade is prepared to prove everything she alleges. And, medical records don't lie.''

In 2007, the Wades put their six-bedroom Pinecrest home on the market for $8.9 million. Has yet to sell. List price is now $4.599 million.

Dwyane is on the road -- again. The Heat play the Rockets in Houston at 8:30 p.m. Saturday.

LMAO! Dwayne Wade is my hero and is now the newest member of my fantasy team

Your heroes spread STDs? Hmmm... Anyways, is this a new article written recently? Or did you Google it last night when Scott Van Pelt mentioned something on SportsCenter? I must admit I looked it up on Google, but I couldn't find a story in the last 6 months.

Gabrielle Union is sexy. That story is pretty damn funny though.

The athlete divorce stories are always the ones that make me cover my face in shame. Whether it is the result of the gold-digger, the athlete's insanity, or a real disagreement, it always sucks to read about them.

The ones that are media-hyped, though? Probably initiated by the girl who just wants to take a portion of the large pot sum. The only thing gained from bringing a divorce out into the open is the tarnishing of an athlete's reputation (by accusing him of a bunch of abuse he probably didn't do (some athletes actually do abuse their wives, I'm sure)), which brings negative attention to the athlete (more than the wife, because he's the bigger star). The purpose of all this? Said athlete is then the bad guy, and will settle the matter as quickly as possible, usually meaning the payment of a large sum of money.

It's even weirder when the athletes (big, big, manly men) charge their wives with abuse.

Unfortunately, I think this happens with professional athletes a lot. It's hard for them to stay committed to someone, when they're constantly on the road and consistently surrounded by pretty women/groupies.

[cdash]

I'm not gonna lie, if I were filthy rich and had my pick of the litter of sexy women in 30 different cities, I'd probably have a hard time staying committed to anyone too. Somehow I dont think I'm alone there.

[CircleCitysportsfan]

His ex is dumb for even thinking he would stay committed. Just sit back and enjoy the millions, and make sure he atleast washes beforehand (keep the jokes cleaner). But he's an a-hole if that's true about him not seeing his kids. I have 2, one 2yrs and one 3 months. I can't stand to be away from them for 8 hours a day, let alone days, weeks at a time.

These allegations are coming from a woman who is trying to get several millions of dollars out of the man. Gotta take all of this with a grain of salt. Could be true, or it could be some fabricated BS.
