A trial date is close to being scheduled between Vanessa Lopez and Shaquille O’Neal. Lopez filed a suit against O’Neal Florida claiming intentional infliction of emotional distress and assault stemming from an alleged affair between the two while Shaq was married that included; a pregnancy scare and claims of intimidation and threats.
Per RadarOnline, settlement talks haven’t moved forward and Lopez’s lawyers are also petitioning the court for the case to be televised. Probably in an attempt to scare Shaq into settling and avoid even more salacious details being aired publicly.
Lopez’s attorney, Gloria Allred absolutely wants the public in on the details.
“Shaq was unsuccessful in his efforts to get our case dismissed. We are continuing to aggresively litigate our case on behalf of Ms. Lopez and are looking forward to taking Shaq’s deposition. We will proceed to do everything possible to protect our client’s rights.”
Yikes.
