The Texts that Broke the Camel's Back

It's kind of a foregone conclusion that professional athletes cheat on their marriages. In her interview with Essence magazine Shaunie O'Neal admitted as much when she told the mag that after confronting her husband about his infidelities he told her, "So what. You're not going anywhere." 
So what made Shaunie finally leave?
According to Radar Online, Shaunie hired a private investigator who showed her texts from Shaq's longtime [five years!] mistress Vanessa Lopez. And just so you know, Vanessa is the girl who sued Shaq earlier this year accusing him of harassing her after she thought she'd become pregnant by him [click here if you missed that].  Some of the texts are below.

Lopez: "I have always been good to you. I am a very private person. I never spoke about us to anyone. Ever! Don’t deserve that from you. I am not wining. I just miss you so settle down."

 Shaq: "Well just say that then I’m a c u tomorrow."

 Another text, dated Sept. 6 at 12:28am reads:

 Lopez: "I hope you had a wonderful day! I wish you were here papi ;)"

 Shaq: "Tomorro"

 Lopez: "I will make sure I put on something very sexy for you ;)"

 And another, dated Sept. 7 at 12:01am reads:

 Shaq: "Hey baby I’m still wit da babies. I’m sorry I’m a c u when I get bak"

Lopez: "I think you are such an amazing person inside and out. I truly wish you the best in life. No one deserves it more than you."

Shaq: "Thanks baby I will make it up to u"

Aside: But for real though, Shaunie? You hired somebody to look at Shaq's phone? You couldn't snag it from his pants pocket while he was in the shower for free like everybody else?
