January 12, 2010 LOS ANGELES -- Former Laker Shaquille O'Neal's ex-mistress announced Tuesday that she's suing the basketball star for harassment.
Vanessa Lopez, an Orlando-based model, claims she and O'Neal began their affair about five years ago. She says she was initially resistant because O'Neal was married, but he told her he had an "open relationship."
Things went south about four months ago, Lopez alleges, after she told O'Neal she thought she might be pregnant.
Lopez says she didn't like O'Neal's reaction, and told him to leave her alone. She claims the Cleveland Cavaliers center then began harassing her.
"I used to walk down the street not looking back over my shoulder," Lopez said at the press conference, with attorney Gloria Allred by her side. "Now, I fear that someone is after me. At home I'm constantly looking outside to see if there's a strange car parked."
"I want this to be over," Lopez said. "I want to feel safe again."
Lopez accused Orlando Magic star J.J. Redick of harassment following their breakup in 2007.

This is bs.
Started having sex with a married man , didnt use birth control,now she doesnt like his response.
She has made some bad decisions in her life.
Sure is BS! What reason would Shaq have to attack her as she implies in her statements? Shaq may be a lot of things, but violent is probably not one of them. She’s just in this for the money...obviously.
Shaq is like a big kid.
I would be more suprised than the Tiger fiasco if he was screwing around.
Shaq is a good guy. Screw this bitch.
Gee,..... well-known BBall Groupie Whore resents being treated like well-known BBall Groupie Whore.
It’s a travesty, I say, a travesty.
Yep. professional ho. She starts an affair with Shaq 5 years ago (2005) while dating JJ Redick.
The proper term is ....
Courtesan! Get it?! Yuck, yuck!
