Gloria Allred’s newest client, Vanessa Lopez, filed suit against NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal in Orlando today. In her civil suit, she alleges assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy, conversion and a violation of state racketeering laws. She is represented by no fewer than three different law firms – one from L.A. (Allred’s), one from Miami and one from Orlando.

In the court documents, Lopez alleges that she and Shaq have had an intimate relationship since 2004, though they have known each other longer than that. She claims that Shaq told her that he wanted to have a child with her repeatedly during their relationship. In September of 2009, when Lopez told Shaq that her period was late though, he allegedly reacted negatively and accused her of sleeping with someone else.

Lopez alleges that she was upset by his response and, even after he apologized, she asked Shaq to leave her alone – even threatening to tell his wife if he didn’t. She claims that, within minutes of this threat, she was contacted by Shaq’s sisters who left her threatening messages. Her petition takes pains to point out that Shaq’s sisters are 6’6″ and 6’8″ tall.

She says that Shaq flooded her phone with texts and messages over October and November, forcing her to hire an attorney to send him a cease and desist letter. She claims that he ignored the attorney’s letter and continued to harass her through December.

Other allegations in the lawsuit include claims that Shaq hacked her mobile phone, intercepted her messages and sent an associate by plane from California to threaten her.

Gloria Allred, attorney to just about every media whore ever created, announced today that Vanessa Lopez is filing a lawsuit against Shaquille O’Neal in Florida. Lopez claims she was in a relationship with Shaq for five years and that he repeatedly harassed her when she tried to break it off.

Lopez says she “fears that someone is after her … I want to feel safe again.”

Back in 2007, Lopez reported to Lake Mary, Florida police that she was being harassed by the brother of another basketball player and former boyfriend, J.J. Redick. Police indicated that David Redick called Lopez and said he would leave her alone “when she leaves J.J. alone.”

Back in 2006, then-Boston Celtics player Delonte West called hotel security on Lopez, claiming she refused to leave his Orlando hotel room. Police were called to the room — where Lopez, according to the police report, then accused West of making unwanted sexual advances toward her.

West acknowledged that he had slept with Lopez in the past — but claimed he never hit on her that night. West said Lopez tried to seduce him — but he rejected her because he had another woman coming over. Police ultimately removed Lopez from the premises.

In 2007, Lopez reportedly had a one-night stand with another NBA star, Kenyon Martin. She then allegedly rifled through his wallet and used his credit card to purchase several thousands of dollars of clothing without Martin’s permission.

Shaq is in the midst of a divorce. Shocking.

Mediawhore Attorney Gloria Allred announced today that she now represents Paul Peterson, the president of “A Minor Consideration,” a company that champions the rights of child actors. (Peterson played Jeff Stone on The Donna Reed Show from 1958 to 1966 – from ages 12 to 20). Peterson has apparently filed a petition in Orange County, California to appoint a guardian for the estate of Nadya Suleman’s octuplets to ensure that the OctoMom doesn’t run through the money she makes off of them.

Allred said she also contacted the California Division of Labor Standards & Enforcement and requested an investigation into whether or not Suleman has violated laws set up to protect “child performers.” For weeks, rumors have been flying that Suleman is trying to sell a reality show about her family to a network.

In her typical grand-standing manner, Allred said, “Rather than choosing to provide her children with a normal life, their mother has chosen to commercially exploit them and it appears she plans to continue commercial exploitation of them in the future. If she doesn’t protect their rights, the courts will do it for her.”

Allred claims that Suleman violated California labor laws by allowing her infants to be filmed late at night and without the presence of a studio teacher. Allred claims that a court-appointed guardian, paid on an hourly basis, will make sure that things like that wouldn’t happen. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for June 22 in Orange County Superior Court.

Suleman has denied that she entered into any agreement to film a reality show about her family.
