As we recently reported, Shaunie O’Neal and her ex-husband Shaquille O’Neal went to court this morning over Shaunie’s new reality show. Apparently Shaunie landed a show on VH1 entitled “The Shaunie Project” which will feature their kids, but things have been stalled because she hasn’t managed to convince Shaq to sign off on the kids doing the show.
Shaunie was granted an emergency order this morning to try to get the judge to overrule Shaq’s shutdown, but it appears she wasn’t able to get the judge to agree.
TMZ is reporting that the judge has rejected her request to have the kids appear on the show, and she will instead have to battle her ex in court in an upcoming hearing. The site writes:
Shaunie O’Neal was unconvincing this morning in court … a judge just rejected her bid for an order allowing her to put her kids on a new reality show … something ex-hubby Shaquille O’Neal is vehemently against.
Shaunie wanted the judge to rule in her favor without a hearing, but Shaq’s lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser convinced the judge there was no rush and a hearing was only fair … but that takes time.
Shaunie is supposed to start filming the show in January, but not getting the judge on her side and having to wait for the next hearing is making it difficult for filming to move forward.
Good for Shaq.
Karma.
Shaunie got what she deserved. And TMZ says the kids aren’t even doing good in school. Her priorities are all messed up.
Cosign. I think she should help them do better in school before she tries to get them on TV. That would only make it worse.
Good!!!!! Now go find another way to make money! You have exhausted reality TV boo!
I know she’s mad. Welp. Back to the drawing board.
Shaq has a better lawyer than her. She will not win this fight.
Good!Shaunie needs to go do something more productive than pimping out her kids to try to stay relevant.
She really needs to not go the Kris Jenner route anyway. Leave your kids out of the reality tv pimping you’ve been doing for all these years.
I get what she is trying to do, but her track record has been so shady that I don’t believe her intentions are good. And obviously neither does Shaq.
LOL. Good for Shaq. She can do what she wants in BBW, but don’t bring those babies into it.
Shaq is not playing. He does not trust his ex and he shouldn’t. She made BBW for crying out loud.
Shaunie needs to quit trying to pimp her children. The judge probably saw ‘Basketball Wives’ and was like “H3LL NO!” In thing positive came from that show… Go find another business venture.
Good, there’s no need to exploit your children for a little money. They only end up hurt in the end
