Dwyane Wade is exposing his ex-wife’s “damaging lies” after she accused him of profiting off their transgender daughter, Zaya.
The retired NBA player addressed Siohvaughn Funches-Wade’s bombshell court filing in a lengthy Instagram statement Thursday, saying he is not “surprised” by her “attempt to fight Zaya’s identity” and “drag [his] name through the mud.”
“I’m very disappointed that she continuously finds ways of centering herself and HER needs, without regard to her children,” Wade, 40, wrote.
“I’ve given her the opportunity to reach out to Zaya’s teachers, doctors and therapist over the years and even meet her friends, so she could get her own understanding of our child’s needs for her LIFE!” he continued.
“She won’t do it!” the former Miami Heat player alleged, calling Funches-Wade, 41, an “absent parent” who claims to be a “good Christian mother” but has not attended a single “recital, graduation, school dance, play date, practice, parent teacher conference etc.”
The retired NBA player denied “pressuring” Zaya to change her name and gender.
