Shaquille O’Neal has crossed paths with numerous actresses and celebrities, including Hollywood stars and media personalities. The superstar has even revealed that he could not keep himself from flirting with actress Jennifer Beals. The actress and podcast host, Amber Tai Hemphill, is another celebrity who has encountered the charming seven-footer. Though O’Neal was struck by her beauty and attempted to be subtle while flirting with her, his habit of pulling pranks apparently caught up with him – and Amber Tai!

Shaq recently appeared in an episode of the It’s Non-Negotiable Podcast, which is co-hosted by Amber Tai. The other hosts were curious to know how Amber Tai befriended the Hall of Famer. Shaq soon came up with his description of their first encounter. However, Amber Tai corrected her friend and laid out her own version. Back then, Amber Tai had worked as a waitress in a restaurant, where she was also required to clean the bathrooms. Shaq encountered the then waitress in a hilarious fashion.

“He walks back to go to the restroom and there was this ledge at the top of the ceiling. And he said what are you doing, I said I am cleaning the bathroom. Oh, you are too fine to clean the bathroom, he said. He took all the toilet paper smashed out of my hand and put it away on the top. So, the bathroom had no toilet paper because he took my toilet paper,” said Amber Tai, relating the incident.
