It’s been a nasty battle between exes Dwyane Wade and his ex wife Siohvaughn when it comes to the custody of their two sons. Although Siohvaughn met the same fate as Tameka Raymond did, Siohvaughn has finally broken her silence about her side to the story regarding the end of their marriage. And not too long ago, Siohvaughn made headlines for making claims that Dwyane Wade was physically abusive to her. Although he denied those claims, it has not done much to keep Siovaughn from speaking about regarding the drama the two have been facing with co-parenting their two sons. In fact, Siovaughn is even claiming that Dwyane Wade won’t even allow her to see the children.
In a recent interview with The Daily Mail, she even says she hasn’t seen the boys since July:
After the alleged incidents, she moved from their home in Miami back to live with her mother in Chicago, she said. She filed for divorce in 2007 and began the long legal battle for her children.
Now Siohvaughn, who is working towards a law degree near her home in Chicago, says she is locked in a new struggle – just trying to see her sons.
She said there has been incident after incident of her ex-husband keeping the children from her – at one point even sending them to Illinois when she was about to fly to Florida to see them in July. As the courts ruled she is only allowed to see them in Florida, she was unable to visit the youngsters even though they were just 25 minutes away from her Chicago home, she said.
Another time, her husband flew the boys to the London Olympics, meaning she did not see them for more than a month. At this point, she has not seen them since July, she said.
The courts have granted her no visits between August and November 8, her attorney added.
‘Dwyane was on Oprah [in July] expressing how he gets excited when the children get to see their mom,’ she said. ‘At that very same time I was fighting to have the time I was given.’
This is so sad. I wish these two could come to some kind of common ground to raise these kids. His own kids will grow up to hate that he did this to their mom.
After all Sioh did for him when he had nothing, this is very unacceptable. The lack of respect he has for her is so clear.
And isn’t he supposed to be promoting some “Father of the Year” type book? Yeah, it’s easy to be father of the year when you cut out the mom out of your kids’ life. Smh!
I’m starting to feel like DWade and Usher secretly just hate women. They have to have some kind of issues to spend so much of their energy getting back at their ex wives. Like this kind of behavior ain’t even healthy.
If you’re a crazy woman and your ex has fame and money, he will take the kids away from you. Siohvaughn and Tameka are NOT victims. They are two women with a whole lot of issues. Had they acted like mature and grown women, their kids would not have been taken.
So you’re just going to believe the worst about these women because their exes tell you to? Both Usher and D Wade have lots of money and power. I wouldn’t be so quick to believe every thing they say.
Girl please let them know!!!!
It’s amazing how fast a good marriage can go bad. I feel for Siohvaughn, but she also made a lot of mistakes that got her to where she is. You never give a man that hates you rope to hang you with. He’ll do it.
That’s the realist thing I’ve ever seen you type on here. I’m shocked. LOL.
LOL! Cosign!
I hope Gabrielle and Dwyane understand that you reap what you sow. They won’t always be on top. And they will have to see Sio on their way down. Both of them.
Gabby is such a whore. After all of this, I have lost the little respect I did have for her. I can’t stand women who have a lack the morals to leave married men alone.
I can’t understand how women can date men that they actually watch disrespect their ex wives and mother of their kids. I guess they figure he won’t treat THEM like that, but a man’s treatment of any woman says a lot about his character. D Wade is cold.
I am glad she is talking now. He’s everywhere promoting that book like he’s some saint and perfect dad, but he’s shady as hell. I cannot stand Dwyane Wade or Gabby.
I ain’t picking sides, but both have done some crazy things. They both need to let it go and do what’s best for the kids. And what’s best for the kids is having a relationship with BOTH of their parents.
