LA Spark’s Candace Parker and former NBA player Shelden Williams have been married for 8 years and have a beautiful daughter together. So reminiscent of the classic movie “Love & Basketball” right down to the daughter. Well, this love story has turned into a horror flick.
Williams filed for not only divorce from Parker citing irreconcilable differences, but he also wants full custody of their 7-year-old daughter and is also seeking…wait for it…alimony. Hhhhh. This dude made millions in the NBA. Millions!!!! He played for Duke and was overall #5 pick in the 2006 draft to the Atlanta Hawks.
I am so sick of dudes looking for their ex-wives to take care of them. OMG. I swear I never thought I would feel this way, because fair is fair, but there is something so trife about a dude wanting his ex to take care of him, especially when he’s the reason for the separation. Look at Mr. Sex Addict, Eric Benet who wanted Halley Berry to take care of him AND his daughter from a previous relationship. He actually applied for child support. And the latest member of the crew…Kendu Issacs who wants Mary J. Blige to give him $140K a month…lmao. How do they look in the mirror every day? Ugh.
I have no idea what the deal is with Parker and Williams. We do know according to Williams that they’ve been living separately since August. My heart goes out to their 7-year-old daughter who likely knows exactly what’s going on. Poor baby.
It’s bad enough that Candace lost her coach earlier this year, RIP Pat Summit. Dude, seriously, just leave. Take your dignity and your huevos and just go. Don’t ask to be taken care of. #WackAsHell #IJS
