Today is Dwayne Wade's 27th birthday, it is also the same day an article about his divorce came out in the Miami Herald. In court papers filed by his wife, Siovaughn, she alleges that he abandoned their children, committed adultery(although why this is a shock to her is beyond me), and infected her with an unspecified STD. Then it gets nastier: She wants the names of "all his sexual partners" during their six year marriage. Say what? Do you really want the answer to that question? Look I like pro athletes as much as the next person but I would never be dumb enough to get involved with one for all the reasons she stated. Of course Wade's people have denied all these allegations. The article also continues:
From Siohvaughn's pleading: ``Dwyane has dissipated substantial sums of marital property including . . . buying his mother a $2 million church; placing substantial sums of money in an account with another woman; providing numerous friends and family members with unfettered access to accounts with hundreds of thousands of dollars of marital funds from which they made substantial withdrawals . . .''
Meanwhile, she says, he cut her off financially.
Divorce is a terrible thing and it can get real ugly I don't know what happened I wasn't there but I would think for the sake of the two children they brought into the world they would've found an amicable way to split or at the very least keep it out of the media. That being said I expect Wade to settle this out of court because he doesn't want this to end up on TMZ or SmokingGun.com if it hasn't already.
She wrote all of his papers in college
While your article provides good information and is well written, it like the few others I've read, on this topic, leave out some critical pieces. At this time, I'd like to comment on them simply because no one else has.
Firstly, no wife no matter how handsome, wealthy or high profile her husband is or becomes wants to believe going into marriage that he would be dishonest.
Second, any divorce papers filed becomes a matter of public record. We only care about this one because it is Dewayne Wade and who he is.
Here's the part in this equation that is often missed. While it really isn't our business who or how many women he slept with, what is our business and his wife's is the names of the women he has slept with, if this information is true.
Public health is potentially at risk here and sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise--especially among Black women. Individuals who have unprotected sex with others has slept with everyone that individual or individuals that person has slept with. In he world of HIV/AIDS and other transmittable diseases and because of these two children, his wife absolutely has a right to know this information. Who knows what could surface a year or two from now.
His wife is angry and she has every right, in my humble opinion, to be. She has been betrayed. As for him cutting her off financially, if true, speaks to his character.
The lesson I hope is learned here is that women need to start respecting themselves and the sanctity of other peoples marriages. It is not cool or hip, ever, to sleep with another womens' husband I don't care what lie he tells you. Men are out of control because women are out of control. Women offer men too many options and because they are men, they exercise them.
You raise a lot of valid points but at the same time when you marry a celebrity this comes with the territory not that I condone it but I see it as a part of life.
I mean its like someone smoking cigarettes on a regular basis you know you increase your odds of getting lung cancer but don't bank on the possibility that it won't happen to you.
Nobody is immune to this.
When infidelity, dishonesty and adultry become a way of life, it is not saying very much about the lives we lead.
Just because the opportunity to do something exist doesn't make it right to cease it. It only comes with the territory because we have allowed it to beome acceptable.
It is time to change the way we handle our business.
I'm gonna be very a-typical male with my response on this one and say that whatever happens to D-Wade is what he deserves. Toni is exactly right about how we have come to make infidelity for famous men socially acceptable. It's saddening to see that most people's comments on this is sort of a ho-hum attitude towards what Dwayne did but when it comes to his wife the attitude is more like "she should have known better". This is basically blaming the victim. How can she be held responsible for what he does with his penis when he is a grown man? And we have to stop letting these guys off the hook just because they are rich and women are constantly giving them opportunities. So what if the superstar athelete constantly has to resist temptations? He took wedding a vow for a reason! To be quite honest I'm not rich and famous but i know that i have had numerous temptations come to me over the years I've been with my wife but i never gave in. Any person, regardless of their fame or riches can be unfaithful so enough with granting Wade a pass. Its one thing to cheat on someone, but its downright nasty and despicable to have unprotected sex with some whores and then turn right around and have sex with the one you are supposed to love,not to mention the mother of your children. If D-Wade was any kind of man he would at least be like Kobe and come clean about the whole thing in front of the world rather than try to lie about it.
I don't think anyone is condoning what Wade has done(or may have done). Just that it was inevitable this was the only chick he knew since High School and he married her when she had his kid. He didn't experience anything else and then when he gets this instant fame he has options. As Chris Rock said "A Man is as faithful as his options" Wade has a lot of options so it doesn't surprise me he would cheat.
That and well he was the one who filed for divorce to begin with its not as if she was the one who wanted out he did. Had he kept it on the low she would've probably still been with him.
That's just how I see it.
My first response to your comments Viva was WOW! To say that since he has known his wife since high school and that he only married her because she had his children as the inevitable reasons for his infidelity is CRAZY!
First, there is nothing wrong with a man who marries the woman he has children with. Second, Chris Rock's routine is purely designed to be entertaining, and besides, Chris Rock has'nt divorced his wife who also happens to have his children.
This is exactly this prevailing attitude about relationships that is so very detremental to the African-American community.
Dewayne Wade is wrong because he vowed to love, honor and protect. The women he messed around with parents are wrong for not teaching their daughters to respect themselves and other women.
In the age of Obama, self responsibility is a must if this thing is going to work. Everyone must be held accountable.
You're right he should be held accountable I never said otherwise. All I'm saying is that its not a shock to me this happened because he married her so young. Maybe if they waited a few years and grew up they probably wouldn't have grown apart.
Plus we only know her side of the story I also want to hear his the truth is in the middle usually.
LeBron didn't marry the mother of his children(although I don't know why I mean if you can have kids with someone you should also be able to make a lifetime commitment because having a kid with someone is a lifetime commitment)
