A Shaq Attack?
A Georgia judge has issued a restraining order against Shaquille O’Neal!
According to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, 23-year-old Alexis Miller — an independent music artist known as MaryJane — claims that Shaq threatened her with bodily harm and made harassing phone calls in which he would breathe heavily into the phone before hanging up.
