Rihanna has been indirectly linked to a case surrounding Shaquille O’Neal’s tryst with a Newsweek writer. Allison Samuels of Newsweek reportedly met Shaquille in 2007 and began working to set him up with a few choice ladies. Not sure how the professional relationship escalated to a hook-up service but back and forth emails revealed something about Shaq’s taste in women. We’ll let the email correspondence leaked by Miami Times speak for itself. See below:

Samuels: Hi. Sesslielopez@gmail.com [FYI, the email address bounces back]. Or I can give her your info? She’s not in the country until Wed so maybe then is better because she hasn’t answered me about something else I asked her about. Also she asked about your personal life and I told her_whatever it is_-I’m sure you had it under control. Still waiting on Robinne’s response.

Shaq: Sesslie aintdat fine whts robins last name

Samuels: You are so wrong! Robinne Lee_she’s on Tyler Perry’s show sometimes. Do you know Lauren London_I don’t_but I know James Lassiter knows how to reach her. You ever dealt with her_is she cool? Sharon Leal??

Shaq: Loren is d wade’s girl im not wrong sesslie aint my type u r

Samuels: What about Gabrielle and Dwyane?

Shaq: He gottem all I want u or rihanna

Samuels: Rihanna is too young_19– she is just legal and you know I’m very chatty and you said you didn’t like that!!!!!

Shaq: Yeah but I told u had a crush on me and u wouldnt chat about us i kn o u

Samuels: No_I’m chatty in a relationship_not to others. You just decided I had a crush on you huh?? When did you decide that?

Rihanna has not only found herself in the midst of Shaq’s affair scandal but now Hustler entertainment is claiming to have a sex tape involving Rihanna and her tour opening act J. Cole!!

Other than Rihanna, what else surprises you about Shaquille’s correspondence with Allison. Dwyane Wade cheating on Gabrielle with Lauren or Allison actually offering such a service??
