Shaq accused of beating man over “sex tape”
Newly retired National Basketball Association superstar center Shaquille O’Neal is once again gracing the headlines.
Shaq has been accused as one of the masterminds behind the 2008 beating of a former business partner by a gang in Los Angeles. The victim, Robert Ross, claims The Big Diesal ordered the Main Street Crips gang to beat him up in order to recover a sex tape.
The sex tape reportedly showed Shaq having sex with a woman, who was not his wife at the time. Ross later said that he only concocted the sex tape story to annoy Shaq.
Shaq has already denied the allegations by Ross during the police’s investigation over the accusation. According to records, Shaq was not included in the charges of the kidnapping, robbery and assault filed by Ross against the members of the Main Street Crips gang.
O’Neal retired this month after 19 seasons, eight of them with the Los Angeles Lakers. Standing 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m) tall and weighing 325 pounds (147 kg), Shaq was one of the heaviest players ever to play in the NBA. Throughout his colorful career, O’Neal used his size and strength to overpower opponents for points and rebounds.
He won three consecutive championships, playing alongside Kobe Bryant, in 2000, 2001, and 2002. O’Neal’s relationship with Bryant eventually declined into a feud.
O’Neal was traded to the Miami Heat in 2004, and his fourth NBA championship followed in 2006.

Shaq should really get his act together. A lot of kids look up to him as a model, he should use it in a positive way. What’s with that rap crap? If he wants to gain popularity, dirty and violent lyrics will not get him that. He can help a lot of kids from not taking drugs by getting them into sports.
Poor guy, he must have been beaten so bad by the Main Street Crips gang. If he didn’t cooked up that sex video accusation this would have not happened to him. If ever Shaq is found guilty that he’s the mastermind behind this mess, I hope that he gets the right punishment for this, because what he did is wrong and a lot of kids who idolizes him might do the same thing.
Your headline is a lie, Shaq was not accused of beating anybody. He may have asked other people to beat him but he hasn’t even been charged with that.
