Dwyane Wade’s Ex-Wife Pens Book About Failed Marriage

According to the Chicago Tribune, Siohvaughn Funches-Wade went into detail about her failed marriage with Dwyane Wade, and rehashes on the drama:

In an emotionally raw autobiography published late last month, the basketball player’s former high school sweetheart admits she became “an arrogant diva” to try to fit in with the NBA wives club, repeats allegations made in court during a divorce battle that Wade beat her, and claims an unnamed mistress of Wade’s called her at 3 a.m. to boast about her trysts with Wade.

She also complains that living with Wade in Miami was like living in a “$4 million … prison,” alleges that an unnamed former teammate of Wade’s with the Miami Heat “suggested that I have an affair right after a game while still inside the Miami Heat Arena,” and writes about her regrets over an abortion she had during a “hell on high heels life.”

Despite its 295-page length, “The True Story for God’s Glory” doesn’t once mention Dwyane Wade by name, instead referring to him only as her husband or as the father of her two children — a decision that may be designed to get around a nondisparagement clause in her 2013 divorce settlement, which she is trying to have thrown out by a Cook County judge.

She also claims D Wade told her she’d be nothing without him before their split. The Chicago Tribune writes:

She would have done anything for Wade “legal or not,” she wrote, adding that when they were poor Chicago-area teens in south suburban Robbins, she once stole a pair of basketball sneakers for him by putting “on men’s basketball shoes over the top of my own shoes and walking out of the store with them on.”

Once they hit it rich, the stylish Wade would spend as much as $100,000 a month on custom clothes, she wrote.

But when their marriage turned sour, she alleged in the book, he’d tell her “I want to sow my wild oats” and “This isn’t your money and if you leave, nobody is going to want you and you aren’t going to have anything without me. You will end up having to go back and live at your mama’s house!”

Funches-Wade writes that she later found pictures and instant messages from other women on Wade’s phone. The marriage ended soon after, according to Funches-Wade account, when a woman called her in the middle of the night and told her she had just slept with Wade. The woman gave “a description of the underwear he was wearing,” Funches-Wade wrote.

 

Siohvaughn also claims in the book that the split led to serious money problems and she broke down emotionally when D Wade got custody of their sons.

  1. I had no idea she even wrote a book. Look I get she was done wrong but I really wish she would move on with her life. He surely has.

  2. All messiness aside, just reading it, it’s interesting because he puts Gabby through the same foolishness. He even had a baby on her. It’s easy to forget that when you follow them on Instagram though. Well at least that’s what they are hoping.

  3. And his hoe a-s is still out here THOTing it up like he ain’t married. Gabby swears she won though.

  4. I don’t really understand why she even wrote this. Nothing she is saying is surprising. They were childhood sweethearts, she held him down he made to the nba got cocky and started cheating and they divorced that’s the basic summary. Nobody rather be nba player, typical dude should consume your life like she lets him and this situation. She would be in such better shape if she would start seeing herself outside of him. Move on girl for your own sanity.

  5. I didn’t like it when people used to call this woman bitter but now I’m starting to see she really is. Life is too short to hold on to pain and a broken relationship for so long. She could be out here dating and falling in love with someone who would treat her better but she is refusing to and it’s sad.

  6. I hate that she focused so much on D wade or wrote anything at all about him. He only focus she be getting those kids back. You can tell he is a piece of shyt he had a baby on Gabby.
