NBA Suns’ Shaquille O’Neal accused of stalking woman

A Fulton County woman has taken out a restraining order against NBA star Shaquille O’Neal after claiming he stalked her.

Judge Richard Hicks granted Alexis Miller’s request on Thursday after reviewing her claims that the NBA star threatened her with bodily harm and made harassing phone calls in which he would breathe heavily into the phone before hanging up.

Miller, a 23-year-old independent music artist professionally known as Maryjane, also alleged that O’Neal, 36, threatened to ruin her career by having her blackballed after Miller ended an intimate relationship between the two last month.

Under terms of the restraining order, O’Neal is prohibited from having any contact or even coming within 200 yards of Miller or her 19-month-old son.

O’Neal, who resides in Florida, is scheduled to appear before Judge Karen Woodson on Sept. 4.

O’Neal has played 16 NBA seasons, winning three league championships with the Lakers (2000, 2001 and 2002) and another with the Miami Heat (2006). He was traded to the Phoenix Suns in February.
