Dwyane Wade ex-wife blasts the Miami Heat star in court papers as a "heartless cheat who used to beat her and infected her with an STD," according to RadarOnline.com
Siohvaughn Funches launched her allegations in a series of court documents that as the once bitterly divided couple continues to battle over their short-lived union. Radar reports she also alleges shortly after they were wed her high school sweetheart began to display a side of himself she had never seen before.
"I had known that Dwyane Wade had a temper and could become violent at times," Radar reports she claims in the papers. "But when we moved out of my mother's home ... into our own apartment with our infant son, the violence increased. This, however, was just the surface of the domestic violence Dwayne Wade would inflict upon me."
Siohvaughn later added "as Dwyane's income increased his arrogance and pride increased as well. Dwyane Wade began to call me derogatory names more, throw things at me, hit me, take all my money from me, and even kicked me out of the house causing me not to have a place to live. As a means of controlling me, and as part of Dwyane Wade's domestic violence pattern, he would often hit me, lock me in rooms and not allow me out, threaten to take my sons from me and frighten me by telling me he knows judges and that they are on his pay roll and he can take the children from me at any time he wanted. The domestic violence and abuse continued on for several years in our family."
Now engaged to Hollywood actress Gabrielle Union, Wade and his ex-wife have publicly battled since officially divorcing some time ago and he has persistently denied all his ex's similarly layered claims.
Funches also told the court "I tried to leave Dwyane Wade, but when I did, he made sure I did not have access to my own home and he cut off all my bank cards and denied me access to any money," she continues. "This exerting of power and control has continued to this day."
In one incident, she claims, "He picked up a garbage can made of marble stone and threw it at me. Dwyane Wade picked me up into the air above his head and slammed me down onto a large ottoman with such force that the ottoman broke into pieces when he slammed my body on it and banged my head against a marble bathroom floor. I ended up having to be rushed to the emergency room and spent the entire week hospitalized.
Radar also reports Wade is said to have been cheating on her, and when she got tested for STDs in late 2008 she found she was infected.
"The marriage has ended but Dwyane Wade's abuse has not ceased," Siohvaughn claims in the documents, "and through the court system he continues to use his money and influence to exert power and control over me."
Both sides will meet in court on February 28.
