Former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal’s alleged criminal involvement has now gotten ex-wife involved. TMZ reports Shaunie O’Neal was contacted by the man who says the baller had him kidnapped and beaten by seven men for threatening to go public with a tape that shows the star in compromising positions.

According to the gossip site, Robert Ross offered her the tape, which supposedly shows Shaq with various women while he was still married to Shaunie. What makes these claims so scandalous is these trysts apparently took place in her home. Shaunie, who divorced Shaq in 2009 and with whom she has four children, has moved on and is currently dating model Marlon Yates, says she doesn’t believe the claims and wants nothing to do with the controversy, or the tape for that matter.

The case is currently in court with the men on trial for the alleged kidnapping and other charges.
