Dwyane Wade’s Lawyer Speaks On His Behalf, After Siohvaughn Funches’ Sidewalk Meltdown

d wades attorney-speaks out-divorce settlement-the jasmine brand

Over the past year or so, Miami Heat baller Dwyane Wade and his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches have had their share of battles in and outside the courtroom – literally. Last week, she protested on the streets of Chicago saying she was left homeless since their 2010 divorce. And last month, his ex sued him (D.Wade) for over $2  million dollars in endorsement deals. If that’s not enough between these two, earlier this year, she appeared on the Dr. Phil Sh0w to explain her side of the story.

Welp, the two have finally reached an agreement. Monday afternoon (a few days after the outdoor meltdown by Siohvaughn) Wade’s attorney released an official statement: 

Dwyane Wade and his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches have reached a financial settlement. The agreement was submitted in court last Tuesday, July 16 prior to Ms. Funches’ recent unfounded and erratic public display outside the courthouse this past Friday. Dwyane Wade has made several requests over the years to settle this matter, despite Ms. Funches having 16 different attorneys and 2 arrests throughout this process.  Mr. Wade has provided a very generous settlement to Ms. Funches to continue to live a wonderful lifestyle for the rest of her life. Despite false allegations by Ms. Funches claiming to be “homeless” and “destitute,” Dwyane Wade has maintained over the years financial support to his ex-wife by providing her with income over $25,000 on a monthly basis, timely paid for her home mortgage, maintenance and security at the house, 4 cars, insurance, taxes and all of her attorney fees throughout this process. Ms. Funches has made a mockeryof homelessness which is a serious and personal issue for Mr. Wade as his mother was homeless for a period of time when he was a child. Dwyane Wade was awarded sole custody of their sons by the court in 2011. The safety and well being of his children are his main priority. Due to Ms. Funches’ current unstable mental state, her visitation will be determined by the court. Mr. Wade continues to hope that one day he will have a civil relationship with his ex-wife for the sake of their sons.

D.Wade also posted the following message on Instagram:

I had my headphones on.. Did y’all hear something????..#stopit #dontbefooled #storiessellpapers#movingon

Welp, there ya have it.

    Wow, i was on her side especially after she lost sole custody to a parent who’s always on the road and works insane hours. but after this, it makes you wonder.

    That woman has proven to be a certified nut. It’s sad that she has that much negativity in her spirit.

    She is making getting her kids back impossible at this point. Not judge will give kids to a clearly bitter crazy women. she said her protest for for her rights as mother, but your sign says your homeless. even if d.wade paid her $25,000 only 3 times a year, she still making $15,000 more than me to be hateful. she can’t keep throwing it in his face that her family took him in. i wouldnt want to be with a person like that either. get over it, y’all be divorced longer than yall were ever together.

    My heart really goes out to her. Clearly she is still hurt from losing the man that she loved. It takes some people a lot of time to get past things and I just hope one day she can move on and have a productive life with her children. I really can’t speak on how she feels because I have never lost everything (kids, husband, finances, etc.). I hope that with all of this though she is still able to see her kids because I don’t see her as crazy I see her as hurt & scorned (Mad Black Woman). Good luck to her. Glad Dwade stepped up and paid whatever needed to be paid to get this resolved with her.

    I see her as a grown woman having a temper tantrum. She will look back on this and be beyond embarrassed. Hopefully.

        1st of all, that’s his attorney making the statement, 2nd she was in front of the daley center trying to bring awareness to the fact that her visitation our being interfered with.
        COME ON LADIES!!!!!! PUT YOUR SELF IN HER SHOES IF SOMEONE TOOK YOUR KIDS….. AND THEN INTEFERED WITH YOUR SCHEDULED VISITATION AND GOT AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE THE OTHER PARENT WAS AN NBA SUPERSTAR? YOU!!!! WOULD BE DOING WHAT EVER IT TOOK TOO. TO SEE YOUR KIDS. I’VE BEEN THRU THIS WITH MY CHILDS FATHER HE HAS MONEY FOR A GREAT ATTORNEY AND KNOWS ALL THE TRICKS TO PRO LONG COURTS HEARING THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.

        • DIVA at 1:22 pm

          AMEN @ Nicky!!!! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! All these women that are bashing her for what she is doing should be ashame of themselves…let it happen to them and they will do whatever it takes to get they kids as well as they finances. I DO NOT think nothing is wrong with the way she is handing this. Sometimes we have to go to great extremes to be heard and IT WORKED Dwade paid so he was guilty anyway because it took him no time to settle when she did that but this has been going on for years. He know what he did as well as she does. We as the public do not really know what is going on so if she feel the need to do what she did to get some attention I am for her. You right that is his attorney speaking for him they are paid to say and make they client look good and the other person look bad.
          Jasmine I am with you as well. I FEEL BAD FOR HER. I am a woman and to lose my kids as well as everything else would be a hurtful feeling so my heart goes out to her and dont feel bad that you feel sorry for her because I do to. Team Siohvaughn!

          • Chanele9boots at 5:53 pm

            Not bashing her at all. I’m a mom, i get it. There’s a better way to go about it though, that’s all.

        • Letmethink at 12:48 pm

          She got the money before this public exploit. Him having to pay anything does not prove guilt. When you get a divorce it is a given that assets will be distributed accordingly. Also, how do you on one hand say we don’t know details so we cannot judge her and then turn around and place judgement based on what you think you know to be facts?

    • Artieka at 5:41 am

      I think you may be alone in that one, Jasmine.

    • Miss AG at 11:32 pm

      I totally agree, and while having the tantrum she’s embarassing her kids and herself. She said b4 she was going to law school….which book did she take this stunt from? Does she not have a support system to help her move from this mode she has been stuck in for years. I tell u this, ain’t no way in hell i’m making a break up bring me down this low. He would not get the pleasure. She has literally handed over her livelyhood #BringInMadea

    If you have loved hard, put your all into a man, gave him babies and wanted nothing more than a good life with your family, then he makes it BIG, kicks you to the curb for Gabrielle Union, you have your kids ripped away from you & given to their superstar father, yes I’m sure this can make a Momma go crazy! But that being said, it takes a lot for that to happen before a judge will take a mother’s children from her. A whole lot. And that part, we only know the hearsay and we really & truly don’t know what went on unless we were there. So in that, I have to be on the fence and the behavior that this woman exhibits is not making her look any better. I don’t agree that going to this extreme for “attention” is the way to go about it. Especially if you want your kids back and especially for their sake. They’ll probably catch hell from their peers at some point, and want to crawl under a rock. I also scratch my head at $25,000/mo + ALL OTHER EXPENSES PAID – and she claims to be broke and homeless but has a decent weave, decent clothes and makeup on…Ok, Wow. I think she really needs help and she really needs to get over this man, get her shit together for her kids sake and focus on being a Mom. I do feel sorry for her that she is obviously hurting & losing it, however, I pray that she will gather up some strength and turn her negatives into a positive and stand confident and tall. That would be the best revenge, instead of this crazy, bitter, nastiness. I realize that everybody handles things different but it’s so sad to see a woman get this weak, which really leads me to believe something is really wrong otherwise.
