Fab and his crew of about 20 deep were all at some restaurant in ATL ordering up loads of champagne and liquor. Well, the manager went over and requested a credit card to go ahead and start the tab. Card #1, DECLINE.....Card #2, DECLINE.....Card #3,4, and 5, DECLINE. Yup, supposedly Fab had 5 different cards that all declined. One member of Fab's entourage then goes outside, starts a fight with the bouncer, then he falls, hits his head on the ground, and starts bleeding. The manger calls an ambulance and when they arrive along with the police, the dude gets up and takes off running. But wait, there's still the tab that needs to get paid or somebody gon' be hitting the dishes. The remaining members of Fab's entourage all puts their 2 cents together and gets the bill taken care of.
Boy ain't that a mess. It's hard to tell if he's broke or just needs a new accountant to keep up with his expenses.

Dwayne abandoned his children, committed adultery, and infected her with an unspecified sexually transmitted disease...Dwyane has dissipated substantial sums of marital property including...buying his mother a $2 million church; placing substantial sums of money in an account with another woman; providing numerous friends and family members with unfettered access to accounts with hundreds of thousands of dollars of marital funds from which they made substantial withdrawals...But while he was being a super-sugar daddy to everybody else, she says, he cut her off financially...He has gone months with out seeing the boys (7 year old Zaire and 1 year old Zion)...Failure to spend time with them has resulted in the children at times being afraid of him; in fact, Zion...does not recognize or know Dwyane.

Boy she is letting it all out for real.
D. Wade's attorney released the following statement about the allegations:

These malicious allegations are absolutely false and we look forward to the opportunity to dispute them in court...It is sad that an obviously angry and bitter woman will go to any lengths to publicly damage Mr. Wade.
