Apparently Dwyane Wade’s ex-wife Siohvaughn is fighting dirty in the court case over sole custody of their two young son’s. Wade is claiming his ex-wife needs mental help, and that he should get sole custody. Things are going well for Wade in his case, but in an odd turn of events this week Siohvaugn filed a lawsuit against Dwyane Wade and his current girlfriend and actress Gabrielle Union on behalf of the two minor children (an 8-year-old and a 2-year-old), claiming that Wade has engaged in “extreme and outrageous conduct” with his new GF Gabrielle Union in front of Wade’s two children.
But Wade tells TMZ, “I am shocked that Siohvaughn Wade has brought this baseless and meritless lawsuit in the name of our children against Gabrielle Union.”
Wade adds, “I am deeply saddened and disappointed that Siohvaughn has used our sons once again as pawns and is now lashing out at Gabrielle, who is an innocent party. It is clear that this is a desperate attempt to retaliate against me for seeking sole custody of our children and requesting that the court have her undergo a psychiatric examination.”
Wade concludes, “My primary concern is my children and actions such as this only inflame the situation and are harmful to their well being.”
UPDATE: TMZ just spoke with a rep for Gabrielle Union who also rejects Siohvaughn’s claims — and apologizes to the court system for having to deal “with erroneous claims when there are real victims who should be receiving the legal attention they need.” {via TMZ}
Seriously folks, regardless of whether or not Wade was essentially making out with Union in front of his kids, and regardless of whether or not the kids were bothered by it, Wade’s ex-wife is clearly not thinking straight. I’ve heard of nasty divorce’s and custody battles where a parent tries to turn their kids against the other parent, but this is going to the extreme. To file a lawsuit against your kids father on the kid’s behalf is just asking for trouble. They are only 8 and 2 years old for god’s sake. When they are old enough to realize what the mother is doing, the kids are going to hate her for it.
As for Dwayne Wade? We here at The Hoop Docs are talking about the situation, and we can’t blame you my man.
