Shaq fans uncover old footage from influencer after PDA photo goes viral

The NBA legend has found himself at the center of social media speculation after a PDA image went viral

Theories surrounding a PDA photo posted by an influencer and whether or not it's NBA star Shaq are spiralling.

If your Thursday is dragging and you want something else to focus on then how about internet sleuths who've become obsessed with Shaq - full name Shaquille O'Neal - and whether or not the PDA photo circulating the internet right now is actually him or not?

Influencer Maria Ozuna Teachey took to her social media pages earlier this week to share a photograph of her and a tall man who can be seen cuddling her from behind.

The image is cut off so the head - and subsequently identity - of said tall man can't be seen. However, with Teachey captioning the image 'Unapologetically us' and asking followers to guess who's 'feet' were featured, it didn't take long for theories to flood in on the post, many suggesting it was the 7ft1in basketball icon.

WorldStar reposted the picture on its Instagram page, captioning it: "Folks on social media seem to think #Shaq has a new girlfriend."

However, Shaq responded: "Nope not the kid."

Alongside commenting on WorldStar's post, Shaq also shared a compilation of images and videos to his Instagram of himself with his arms around multiple different women.

The caption reads: "Is this my girlfriend too, trust me I’ll let yall know who my woman is, and by the way my woman name is Shaqirah."

In another video, he added: "I will let yall know when I'm in love."

And a third video states: "My real girlfriend knows I’m a big black exotic dancer #itwasntme @alexaleighton."

Oh and a fourth playing 'It Wasn't Me' said: "I might not know the words, but I do know it wasn’t me @petergunz174," the caption adds.

But some social media users with too much time on their hands have since done a deeper dive into Teachey's profile and believe Shaq is 'lying'.



Twitter account Lit Leakers shared a compilation of clips seemingly taken by Teachey.

The caption reads: "Lady proves #Shaq was lying about sleeping with her after pic of them recently went viral together with his face cropped out."

Shockingly, once again, you can't see the face of the person included in the videos, so you should probably take all of the speculation with a big pinch of salt.

UNILAD has contacted Shaquille O'Neal's representatives for comment.
