Not only that but he said the same thing about Venus Williams and Cindy Crawford. I subscribe to
www.blackrumors.com and they told me.
I found the post:
Did he lie?
R&B star Aaliyah has demanded an apology from LA
Lakers basketball star and sometime rapper Shaquille
O'Neal who has claimed he slept with her. O'Neal was
asked by a radio DJ in Los Angeles if he'd ever had
sex with a celebrity. He named Cindy Crawford, Aailyah
and tennis champ Venus Williams. Crawford has denied
the claims and, while Aailyah hasn't commented, an
unnamed friend says, 'It's an absolute lie.' She
demanded Shaq write an apology. 'He's disgusting,
making up lies,' she says.
Aaliyah, who it was alleged married R&B singer R Kelly
when only 15 years of age, has been busy in recent
months filming. Earlier this year she was confirmed as
one of the lead characters in the Matrix 2.
Late last year ther single Try Again from the movie
Romeo Must Die topped the charts on both sides of the
Atlantic, reaching No 1 in the US on airplay alone
before its release in the shops.
Shaq's manager Cynthia Atterberry has written to the
weekly gossip sheet, The Star in the US which first
printed the comments, denying any truth in Shaq's
remarks. 'They were made in jest,' says Atterberry.
Tennis star Venus Williams condemned Shaquille O'Neal
for remarks the Lakers center made recently on a Los
Angeles radio station in which he said he slept with
Williams – remarks O'Neal admitted Monday were not
true and meant as a joke.
O'Neal reiterated Tuesday that he had made the whole
thing up, offering a public apology to all three
women.
"I categorically and unequivocally deny that I have
ever had a sexual relationship with Shaquille O'Neal,"
Williams' statement began. "I don't even know him.
I've only met Shaquille once a few years ago, when
attending an L.A. Lakers game. If Shaquille made the
statement as a joke, it was in very bad taste, and I
am definitely offended. I think that he should use
better judgment in the future, particularly where
one's reputation is concerned."
O'Neal told Los Angeles' Power 106-FM last week that
he had slept with Williams, model Cindy Crawford and
rap star Aaliyah. Crawford and Aaliyah also denied
O'Neal claims.
