Mila’s new comedy film “A Bad Moms Christmas” was then coming out, written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. As for Shaq, he handled the responsibility of a host quite well.
Besides the basketball world, we have seen him rap, perform in numerous roles, and host a show that has drawn a lot of attention. Now that he is a well-known businessman and NBA analyst, he never misses an opportunity to act in flicks.
As part of their conversation, Shaq told a story about Mila’s husband. He revealed that he was about to punch him once, but held back only because Mila was his wife.
The Big Shamrock added: “You saved your husband from getting beat up” Mila was shocked and asked Shaq how she saved him, Shaq responded by saying: “I was a fan of his show, so when I finally meet him, let’s just say it’s on a Friday, I said, you’ll never punk me. Bet 100,000. So he punk’s me the next day. I was so pissed, I was like I’mma kill him. But then when I saw he was married to you, I let him go.” Shaq continued: “He’s a good guy, give him a hug and a kiss from me.”
