Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade has sued his estranged wife Siohvaughn and two of her lawyers over accusations he had contracted then shared a STD due to an extramarital affair.
Siohvaughn Wade alleged in court documents in January that Dwyane had infected her with an STD in 2007, but later withdrew the allegation without giving a reason.
According to AP, Wade is seeking at least $50,000 in damages from each defendant. Dwayne claimed that the allegations not only defamed him, but caused “embarrassment” and “humiliation” along with damaging future earning potential.
Dwayne and Siohvaughn were high school sweethearts and have two children.
