Dwyane Wade Ex-Wife Homeless?
Dwyane Wade may be coming off winning an NBA championship, but his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches is alleging that the man who she began dating at 15 years old has left her living on the streets of Chicago.
According to Deadspin.com Funches is holding up a cardboard sign claiming that she is homeless while speaking about "$90 million contracts" and "houses on the water."
"NBA Miami Heat Star Mother of His Children On The Streets," Funches' sign says, in a photograph featured on Deadspin.com. Earlier this month,Wade's ex-wife sued the 31-year-old Miami guard for some of the finances gained from his endorsement deals.
However, the lawsuit was later dropped. After their public divorce, Funches received a $1 million lump sum and also $25,000 each month for child support, according to FOX Sports.
Still, the NBA star eventually got full custody of his two children, despite Funches alleging that he was previously abusive toward her. However, TMZ has reported about Funches' questionable behavior, saying that she had to go through nine different attorneys during her divorce.
Despite Funches speaking negatively about her ex-husband in the past, Wade said he refused to speak badly about her in court while opening up to Business Week last year.
"I went in hoping the judge would see what was best for the kids. I didn't go in there knockin' their mother and saying, She's a terrible mother," he said. "I just said, At this time I believe that what's best for our kids is for them to be living under my roof."
The basketball player said more than all the drama, his two sons are the most important thing to him.
"The rest of it came in what she threw at me. I stuck to my principles of what I believe is the most important," Wade said in the Business Week report. "And it was those two kids. My divorce went on for about four years, and my custody battle went on for three. Something dramatic needs to happen for some guys to say, 'I need to stop this.' My divorce was that moment for me."
