Morning Tweet: Shaquille O'Neal hacked computer, destroyed evidence?

Sep 15, 2010, 9:00 AM EDT

An IT worker hired by Shaquille O’Neal is suing the NBA star, accusing him of computer hacking and destroying evidence, and contending that O’Neal attempted to frame another employee by planting child pornography on his computer. Also, that O’Neal covered up email evidence of an alleged affair by throwing a computer in a lake.
Shaq’s former employee Shawn Darling filed the suit for intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and civil R.I.C.O. (a racketeering charge) on August 3, in Miami-Dade County, Florida, reports Radar Online.
Some of the allegations:

* Shaq hacked into the voicemails and phone systems of Darling and Vanessa Lopez, a mistress who is currently suing O’Neal. He deleted Lopez’s messages and changed her password.

* O’Neal used his law enforcement contacts, both active and retired, to obtain restricted information about one of his mistresses, Alexis Miller, while he was involved in a legal battle with her.

* Shaq threw a personal computer holding much of this evidence in the lake behind his home.

* Shaq conspired with active law enforcement as well as ex-members of law enforcement to frame Darling for a criminal offense and destroy any evidence that Darling might have against O’Neal.

One of the allegations involves O’Neal’s ex-wife, Shaunie O’Neal. Darling claims that in 2009, when the two were married, he told Shaunie that Shaq was having an affair with Vanessa Lopez. In the lawsuit, Darling says he found proof that Shaq was breaking into Lopez’s phone system and told her about it.
Lopez is currently suing Shaq for harassment and is being represented by Gloria Allred.

If you are out for a nice swim in the ocean and get harpooned, it may be time to go on a diet …

* Dodgers get one hit, still beat Giants. %$&!

* Controversial Tiger Woods “Grand Slam clubs” finally sell for $57,000.

* Brett Favre offered $1 million to endorse a product called “Rise-N-Shine,” which is not what you think it is.

    Yeah, a real computer geek. If he didn’t want the contents of the computer to be seen, all he had to do is pull the hard drive and smash it with a hammer a few times. Now, if it’s fished out of the lake, I’m sure the data would be recoverable.
