The Miami New Times has released its third round of leaked emails from Shaquille O’Neal’s account. This time, it’s a panicked exchange between Shaq and his agent, Robert Parrish, after Shaq’s Blue Chips costar Anthony C. Hall had forwarded an email he’d received from a woman named Christina. A TMZ reporter named Eric had asked her to cooperate for a story on her relationship with Shaq for $3,500.

In Shaquille O’Neal’s personal emails, it seems nothing is holy. A judge sealed the stash of messages, which were filed in court in a potentially explosive local lawsuit, but we managed to obtain them anyway.

In November 2009, Shaquille O’Neal was forwarded an email from actor/producer Anthony C. Hall– Shaq’s co-star in Blue Chips— which had been forwarded to him from a woman named Christina. We’ve redacted her information.

The email was from an apparent TMZ reporter. His email address is [email protected], and he’s identified only as Eric in the court filing. (His last name must have been redacted by Shaq’s former IT guy Shawn Darling, who filed the suit.)

The subject line: “$$$ for Shaq proof of pics and story”.

I received pictures and was advised to contact Christina at this email address and the telephone number [redacted by us] I was told that Christina is the woman with Shaquille O’Neal in these pictures. TMZ is willing to pay you $3,500.00 for your written story & proof that you were involved with Shaquille O’Neal while he resided in Scottsdale, AZ. Please contact me by replying to this email and I will contact you directly via phone and give you details. Eric

Shaq then forwarded the email to his agent, Robert Parrish, and they had the following back-and-forth:

Shaq: Tmz is offering people money, read below

Parrish: We can’t stop them from offering money. Every pic every story is for sale. We will have Dennis [Roach, Shaq’s attorney] send the a letter. We got to be careful we don’t want TMZ reporting that Shaq and his people are trying to start us from reporting “news”. We know its bs but the will use anything to promote their site. They would love to have a “riff” with Shaq. Who is Christina we need to talk to her.Chief and I are having breakfast with you in the morning.

Shaq: They kno the emails are stolen, that’s why they contacting , people. Thet are harassing, those emails are stolen

Parrish: I got a contact now with TMZ I’m talking with

Shaq: The point is we dnt want them do what they r doing to tiger, they got him wit steroids and all dat shit

Parrish: We are working hard on this. Although the stuff is stolen TMZ n the other website marketing themselves as gossip entertainment not credible new reporting ie CNN, I’m with you on this we are going to see how good our contact is

Shaq: Ok but in the meantime o boy needs to b put in jail, we have way to many law enforcement connections to let a criminal try to get over on mine o mine, we dnt need any distraction was we deal with our harvard guy, shoe line guy, retaraunt guy, real estate guy, and everything we are planning to do for the after basketball life. I promised u I would stay outta trouble, I kept my word, but cannot control somebody dtealing and selling emails. Come on now protect me from this.
I lost my family because of this guy, come on now

Parrish: Got it he will be stopped n pay for this

Dun dun dun. This email exchange is central to the lawsuit, in which rogue IT Guy Darling– who believes he was who Shaq was referring to with “boy needs to b put in jail”– claims the superstar used connections made during stints as a reserve police officer to attempt to frame Darling with child porn on his computer.

Shaq’s lawyers claim that Darling “stole” thousands of emails, including the ones we’ve been publishing after they were filed in court.

Implicated in the lawsuit: former Miami Beach Police chief– recently named to the top post in the Golden Beach department– Donald Delucca. Is that who Parris is referring to with “Chief”?

It goes without saying that we’re hot on Christina’s trail. We don’t have $3,500 to offer, but we have some free New Times sunglasses…
