Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade released a statement to the AP yesterday accusing his ex-wife of being an unfit mother who uses abusive parenting methods, had extramarital affairs and was hospitalized for anger management issues. Who knew?
“For more than two years, I have tried to make peace with Siohvaughn concerning our divorce and custody of our kids,” Wade said in a statement released to The AP. “I no longer believe that’s possible. Siohvaughn has consistently attempted to interrupt or prevent me from having visitation time with our boys.”
Siohvaughn Wade’s behavior “has made it evident that she is unstable, dishonest, unbalanced, unwilling to accept responsibility for her actions, not of good character, and therefore, unfit to be a custodial parent,” according to the petition.
“I’m sorry to say that many of the things she has done during our marriage and throughout this divorce have convinced me that it is not in our children’s best interest that she have custody,” Wade said in his statement to The AP. “As a result, I have decided to fight for custody of our children.”
The documents obtained by The AP include police reports from when Siohvaughn Wade called authorities to the couple’s home in a Miami suburb on Christmas Eve 2008 as Dwyane Wade arrived there to see his children.
They also include claims made by Andrea Williams, a former friend of the couple, that Siohvaughn Wade paid for trips to Las Vegas and other places, bought a man she was romantically involved with as far back as 2004 a car and a motorcycle, threatened to find a gun and shoot her husband, and voluntarily entered an Illinois hospital to deal with anger-related issues.
“I feel our children’s health and safety are at stake,” Dwyane Wade said. “Our two children are my top priority.” Read More…
WOW!!
this is gonna get interesting…
Did Siovaughn have a nervous breakdown? Sounds like she’s going thru some things….
sounds like the black version of the Sandra Bullock/Jesse James story. Man leaves wife for another woman. Man files for custody of children. Karma rolls around and man cheats on new wife. Watch out Gabby!
Dwayne is delusional. He is shacked up with a broad who is trying to finally get a career (she never had one to speak of before). So, he can cancel X-mas on her staying home with the kids. He is on the road most of the year. Who is gonna watch the chi’rens?
Get smart, Dwayne. Just because your wife (and she’s STILL your wife) is scorned doesn’t make her unfit.
Is she REALLY unfit or is this his way out of not coming out dem pockets for child support? Let’s talk about it!
LOL Honeygrahm!! Is that you in your pic???
Jesse did not leave his wife for Sandra the ex wife confirmed that already
@topic
I wish them the best for the kids sake
There a more to this story
I watched THS…basketball wives……and she seemed as though she told the real deal IMO…she said he changed after he went pro….so she started doing her.
If this is true, I hope he gets custody of the kids. Using kids as pawns never works out.
JUST GOES TO SHOW THE EXTREMES THAT SOME WOMEN WILL GO TO -WHEN A RELATIONSHIP IS OBVIOUSLY OVER & THE MAN IS NO LONGER INTERESTED IN THEM SEXUALLY/ROMANTICALLY -AND THEIR ONLY CONCERN IS THEIR CHILDREN
I AGREE HER ANTICS MAKES HER APPEAR UNSTABLE, EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED, AND MAKES HER AN UNFIT PARENT
NO MAN IS WORTH LOSING YOUR SCRUPPLES OVER-IN THE END “YOU” LOSE EVERYTHING (MAN, MONEY, AND THE CHILDREN)IN THE END
DUH-ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER REASON TO ALWAYS INVEST IN SELF-YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG
She can do her all she wants I believe he did his dirt as well but IF(IF being the keyword) she was keeping him from his kids that’s messed up IMO
If this is true, not letting him see his children is so wrong!!
@ShoYaRight, I don’t think paying child support is a problem for him. Whether the kids live w/ him or not, he still has to financially support them.
I agree Daisy….NOW that would be the deal breaker….them boys need that man as a father.
If she is messing with his visitation and crazy as hell I dont blame him. It doesnt matter what he does for a living. A part-time dad who can afford help is better than a full-time batshyt crazy mother. #thatisall.
Why is he making a public statement about it
Wait a min now!!!! She kept trying to throw him under the bus for dealing w/ Gabby…Now look who’s trying to hang on to the side view mirror…
Hmmmm…..may be interesting to see if he gets full custody of their sons.
@brown those are court records which are public I think but don’t quote me on that. I believe his comments are from court docs but are being read as statements on espn
@yesindeedio …I agree she is still scorned, and we all know that when you are still “hott” about the situation you will do stupid things that make you appear “bad” or “unfit”. (but its really about the fact that you’re mad as hell)
They both have done things outside of the marriage I dont think that it was just her. By all means, if she’s mad and keeping him from seeing the kids do what you gotta do (which I believe is what this is really about)and @intensemocha…exactly..always invest in self.
I know that’s right @ Yesindeedio
Gabby might be a lot of things, but a babysitter aint one of them, LOL.
Ms. Wade was wrong for buying some lame a motorcycle though. I mean, Dwayne has been cheating, so I aint mad at u for doing ur little side thing, but keep the money at the crib. People be trying to do too much these days when they are cheating. Hit it and split
It’s hard to take custody from mom if she’s not a threat to the children
was did he release a statement to AP?? Sounds like he tried to beat her getting to the press. I feel like she’s about to release some statements that are going to drag him.
WAIT A MINUTE BEFORE WADE AND GABBY WOULD EVEN ADMIT TO SEEING EACH OTHER WIFEY WAS SAYING THAT HE DIDNT EVER SEE THE KIDS…
We need to dig up the back story. I THINK WADE TRYNA CLEAN UP CAUSE GABBY DUN RAN HER PRETTY LIL MOUTH ON LETTERMAN ABOUT THEM….?
I think I saw they were together since highschool…..her momma took him in becuz his peoples weren’t taking care of him…..I can see where she would be hurt…..BUT I hope they find a medium for the kids.
SMH if its true she didnt let him see his kids. I hate females like that…I agree with Cinnamon Kisses. on the E! interview she came across as a good mother and someone who has moved on since D Wade moved on…hope they get to share the kids
oh goodness…is it Friday yet?? I meant why did he…
Dare I say it…I agree with IM

Interesting logic here. I dont know what to think about this crazy, ongoing forever, situation
I hope I don’t get banned but there is a story on ESPN.com about this. According to court documents Siohvaughn called the cops on Dwyane on Christmas Eve 2008 to try to prevent him from seeing the boys. A fried of Siohvaughn also told the court the she had an affair during the marriage and threatened to get a gun and shoot Dwyane.
** a friend**
Hello All. I know I tend to get sacrilegious at times but here goes. They need to share these kids, period. My Momma, God rest her soul, told me that a woman with children needs a man in the house even if he’s just standing in the doe with his draws on. (I’ll add if he’s not physically abusive to you or your children.) This man clearly has enough money to take care of these children. Even if he left her for another woman he’s still the father of these children. Black women have so much drama, so much scorn, so many issues. Did you all know that according to a recent survey, black women and Asian men are at the bottom of the dating pool, meaning that these 2 are the LAST to be picked? I know some of you don’t like what I preach but trust me, I’m much older than most of you and I’m a wise woman because I’ve learned from my mistakes. CHILDREN NEED THEIR FATHERS. Hell, I can’t stand my baby daddy and my only son, who’s 22, looks like he spit him out but will I take this out on him? Hell to the naw! He learned for himself what an ass his father can be. Give our men a chance. What works best? Hold that tongue, it can get you killed! And a woman who holds her peace, a man can’t figure out. He don’t know what you’re thinking or what you’re about to do, quite an effective weapon.
I’m outta here family, headed to VA BEACH to see my dear sweet sister who’s been diagnosed with death. Jesus will see us thru this. Love you guys! Peace.
They both did dirt…so that cancels out all this he did/she did shyt. The most important thing about this is that he is trying to get his kids away from an emotionally unstable woman. And I don’t blame him!!
Studies show that children who are raised in an emotionally abusive home have an increased chance of them developing a mental complex which can manifest in countless ways…not just anger.
Sounds like he read Keven Federline’s book, “How to Keep your Cheese and your Seeds.” If she’s not crazy, by the tiem he’s done, she will be. Poor kids
PAHairston…..my prayers are with you and your family.
I forgot to add…If all this is mess is true….

Oh my neck of the woods, prayers go out to you and your family!!
I do agree w/ what you are saying to an extent.
My dad was a addicted to drugs and at times could be a bad dad and at other times he was the best. Although he had his faults he was in the house and due to his presence I was a better person. I’d like to think that his presence also kept my brothers and sister on the right track. We all go to see him at his best and his worst and that made us stronger.
diagnosed with death? I’ve never heard that term, but my prayers are with your family.
This smells like Dwayne Wade trying to do damage control by turning the tables on his ex-wife. He caught a lot of flack behind Gabby Union and werent there rumors he gave his ex-wife an STD/STI?
His work schedule will probably prevent him from getting the children. Courts, especially here in VA, are hard pressed to take a child away from the mother.
“Siohvaughn Wade’s behavior “has made it evident that she is unstable, dishonest, unbalanced, unwilling to accept responsibility for her actions, not of good character, and therefore, unfit to be a custodial parent” –> too bad he realized all of this AFTER he stuck his tip inside her and knocked her up…SMDH = NEXT!!
The two boys are the ones who are getting the short end of this stick. Divorce (when children are involved) sucks for this reason.
I don’t believe wither of these two grown azz babies, trying to get back at each other in the court of law, selfish fcuks.
“diagnosed w/ death”……..ummm that’s a first.
@Sugarpie…..that was before rehab LOL
@ Daisy…. oop I guess that cancelled that theory LOL

i ain’t got gabby stickin’ around for this sh.it right here…she don’t hardly strike me as the type to be down with an instant family. i bet she probably gives those kids the everytime they come around.

Gabby already said she’s not interested in having children… umm yah Dwayne clearly isn’t trying to stay with her.

A fried of Siohvaughn … and threatened to get a gun and shoot Dwyane.

Umm do you know how many times I’ve said to a friend (out of sheer frustration) that I just want to get a machete and beat up the hubby with it? Will I ever find a machete and beat him with it? NO, but he’s made me feel that way before in the past.
Unless she went out and got a gun, I’m think we can accept that she said it out of frustration, probably after the umpteenth picture of him and his hooker was all over the blogs again.
As for her cheating during the marriage making her an unstable/unfit mother, that means he’s just as unstable.

AMEN Sista! Men go crazy when they don’t know what you’re thinking!!!
oh well I’m out so yall have a good one
@PA sorry to hear about your sister
@mstruth I believe that is when the Dr says there is nothing else they can do but make the person comfortable
gravi check???
@PAAHirston have a good visit with your sister, sometimes doctor’s get it wrong, so just keep believing the best for her and keep praying.
@Daisy…ohhhh…I kind of thought that was what it meant, but had never heard anyone say that before.
PA I am very sorry to hear about your sister. You and your family are in my prayers.
I wonder why parents don’t think about the children when they bash the other parent. Their kids will grow up to see that mom said dad gave her an STD and dad said mom was crazy and he left us for a D list celeb named Gabby, etc.
I think Dwayne knew this shyt was going to be made public so it was sweetened up to put her in a bad light. Like someone else said, they gitl has been saying for A MINUTE that he never saw the kids at all, now you have an epiphany and want them because she has “all of a sudden” got these issues when you’ve known her since high school…boy BOO!
All of this sounds like some stretched out lawyer enhancements. His only evidence is that she called the police when he tried to see his kids, that sounds like half a story and he doesn’t seem to have solid proof that the woman is delusional. I remember her saying once how he overspends more outside of teh family then for his own family.
Wade seems like he is being cold and revengeful. He barely sees those children. If he gets away with taking those children away from their mother, they will hate him forever and it would do the children no good in the end. Children have a special attachment to their mothers. He should know this being that his mother was on drugs, strung out and left him home alone with his sisters when he was a kid, but his love for her was always strong and it never left. I just feel by reading that letter that his intentions are not good.
I too heard that he barely saw those kids. I remember reading that the younger didn’t recognize him at one point. Something don’t seem right here. I mean…if shaq and shaunie can come to agreement….why can’t dwade and siovaughn. I mean seriously.
I also heard there was no prenup?….so idk Those poor babies. I wrote on another blog that this could open up awhole can a worms. They need to think about there kids.
Well how do we know she wasn’t lying saying he never saw the kids cause she was keeping him from them n she was just tryin to make him look bad :shrug; 3 sides to every story like I always say. They both could be lying or telling half truths.
That’s too bad. If what he said is true, particularly the part about her getting inpatient care for anger management, his getting the children is a shoe in. It’s too bad their marriage has come to this.
oh well.. it don’t sound like she consulted with juanita jordan before she filed…..
If true (and that’s a big IF) why did he wait 2 years to request custody? That’s what gives me pause on this whole thing. If my kids were in danger being raised by somebody with anger issues who won’t let me see my kids I’m filing papers IMMEDIATELY not a month after the E! True Hollywood Story. Sorry Dwade but I’m gonna need to see some concrete evidence establishing a pattern. And as someone else said men will do almost anything to get out of paying and she’s been saying for a minute that he doesn’t. My ex blames me til he’s blue in the face but the truth is he won’t make the effory to come see them and I shouldn’t have to raise them on my own, support them financially by mysf and now I’m supposed to drive them 5 hours down a desert highway too?? I wish I would
@Ms.Everything
I could not have said it better myself.
People should stop the BS, nobody can keep you from seeing your kids if you really want to see them. Put the money up, the time up and go before court and get a temporay child visitation order put in place until things are final. He was too busy screwing around when Siovaughn was pregnant and afterward to put in the time with the kids. When you are pregnant hormones raging, your man effing off on you, yeah you feel like taking a gun and shooting off his balls. He’s got hollywood bicycle whore as a mistress and he has the nerve to name call his wife. He is trying to play with her mind and break her spirit to keep from paying up as there is no prenup. A real man wouldn’t stoop to this level of BS. No wonder old azz Gabby can play him. She already said she would take chance with stray animals than kids, he better listen.
