Scorned Woman: Dwyane Wade’s Ex-Wife/Baby Mama On Dr. Phil Putting Him And Gabrielle Union On Blast For Portrayal! [Video]
Dr. Phil talks to Sherrie Daly, former wife of pro golfer John Daly, and Siohvaughn Funches-Wade, ex-wife of NBA star Dwyane Wade. Why do the women say they’ve been wrongly portrayed in the media? And, why do they believe they lost custody of their children?
Here’s a few highlights on what she had to say:
Well a lot of it had to do with Mr. Wade’s celebrity and a lot of it had to do with his money. But I’ve seen the court system in a way that I’ve never seen it before. I went into that place hoping to get help for my children and I, but I found judges in the courtroom quoting statistics for Mr. Wade. They would speak about him as if they were introducing the starting lineup for a basketball game.
One time we were doing scheduling and we were asking when would Mr. Wade come in and testify. And she was saying, ‘Oh, I know when he’ll be in Chicago. They play the Bulls and right now they’re in Philadelphia.’ She knew all of these things and she’d say all of the time, ‘I’m a huge basketball fan.’ I was sort of hoping she’d be a fan of justice, but I found otherwise.
On being painted as “violent” and a “bad mother” in the press:
Well, my ex-husband had a publicist. And as far as the records reveal, it[ the retainer fee] may have been approximately $20,000 per month. When you’re able to pay someone that amount of money a month to plant your stories…
On her mistakes:
I’ll say this: I’m not perfect. There’s no perfect parent. As far as being intentionally absent or intentionally harmful to my children, I won’t take that because that would be incorrect.
