The 53-year-old had been captured grinning into the camera as he embraced a woman from behind - a photo that was then shared on the4thQuarterTV's Instagram account. The caption read, "Shaq surprised another man's wife with a visit, and her reaction was: 'My favorite guy is back in town!'"

The picture was originally posted by Monique Martin, a married mother of three and the owner of sports memorabilia and management company, Famous Ink. Her caption read, "My favorite guy is back in town and of course he stopped by to see his favorite people!! Class act always, which is why I love seeing that face pop in!!! #shaqattack #myfavoritehuman."

In response to the4thQuarterTV's post, Shaquille O'Neal commented, "Yes, my boys' wife," adding, "I can tell yall site is broke and need money. Nice try, this is the reason yall always gonna be a broke blog. Thanks for making me more money though #dummies."

This online ruckus prompted Shaquille O'Neal to dive into the comments section for a second time recently - in October, he hit back at TikToker Noah Glenn Carter's suggestion that he was dating OnlyFans model Sophie Rain. "I don't (date) that young but I will date your mom and give you a brother," Shaquille O'Neal wrote in the comments, under a video by Noah suggesting the two were an item.
