Following cheating allegations, Shaquille O'Neal makes a subtle comment on X
When it comes to high-profile celebrities or former athletes like Shaquille O'Neal, allegations and scandals are often part of their lives.
Following Reeds' cheating allegations, O'Neal made a subtle comment on Twitter, where he mentioned the value of enjoying one's life, devoid of any unwanted "drama, conflict or stress."
"The older you get the more you realize how precious life is," O'Neal said. "You have no desire for drama, conflict or stress. You just want good friends, a cozy home, a food on the table, and people who make you happy."
From Shaquille O'Neal's comments, focusing on outside noise or distractions will adds to his stress. He would instead prefer the company of good friends while having a nice home with "food on the table".
