The ex-wife of Dwyane Wade filed a lawsuit against his wife Gabrielle Union

After accusing Gabrielle Union of “stealing” her ex-husband Dwyane Wade, Siohvaughn Funches filed a $50,000 lawsuit against Union. Funches accused Union caused her two children emotional distress. The drama settled in 2012 and Funches received a strong response from Union.

Union said, “The biggest lesson [I learned] is that when there are children involved who can’t speak for themselves, no matter how tempted you are to just tell someone else’s truth… you just have to shut your mouth and make sure that they are protected at all times — even if you sacrifice yourself. People will still believe what they want.”
