Shaquille O’Neal has allegedly been sending threats to his ex-wife’s new boyfriend through the couple’s 6-year-old son, said TMZ.com. The 7-foot-1, 325-pound O’Neal told his son to tell ex-wife Shaunie O’Neal’s new boyfriend that “Shaq is going to kill him,” according to a letter written by Shaunie’s lawyers obtained by the website. The letter also says the basketball star recently “interrogated” his four children about his ex-wife’s new relationship “to the point that they felt intimidated and scared by him.” Shaq’s lawyers did not immediately respond to the allegations.
