A few years ago, the Alicia Keys-Swizz Beatz situation began blowing up all over the urban blogs, but for the most part, ?legit? mainstream media outlets and blogs ignored the sketchiness of Swizz?s multiple baby-mamas, his deadbeat-daddying, the shadiness in which he and Alicia started up while he was still married. It was a mess, and it got ?white-washed? rather effectively. I bring this up because while I?ve written one story about the current Gabrielle Union-Dwyane Wade situation, for the most part it?s been a repeat of the Keys-Beatz thing. Now, I?m not saying Dwyane Wade is as shady as Swizz ? he?s not! Hardly anyone is as shady as Swizz. I?m just saying that for the most part, the mainstream media is taking Gabrielle Union?s side and looking the other way as urban blogs report story after story about all of the drama with Dwyane Wade?s ex-wife.
The basic gist of the ?scandal?/scandal: Miami Heat baller Dwayne Wade was married to Siohvaughn Funches, and they have two kids together. Circa 2009, Dwyane met Gabby, split up with his wife and began shacking up with Gabby. The order of these events is up for debate ? Funches claims that Gabby ?homewrecked? her marriage, and Funches filed a lawsuit against Union too (although the case was dismissed). Gabby maintains that she and Wade didn?t start up until he and Funches were already over and legally separated. Pro-Gabby sources also make Funches out to be some kind of nutjob, and I believe that Dwyane has primary custody of the two kids too. Pro-Funches sources still claim ? to this day ? that there was definitely an overlap between the marriage and Wade?s relationship with Gabby. So? I still don?t really know. In the Union interview I covered back in April, she said, ?I think people mistook me taking the high road as an admission of guilt. Dwyane and I made a decision very early to not react to the negativity. And I kept feeling like the truth would come out. The problem is, when it did, nobody cared. What I discovered on social media is that people don?t read the entire story.?
Well, Gabby has a new little interview with T.T. Torrez ? and my radar is still up about Gabby. I?ve always liked her and I?ve always thought she was beautiful, but I wonder if she?s handling this on-going situation the right way? When Gabby gets the question about Siohvaughn right off the bat, Gabby kind of goes off:

Spending a relaxing day on the beach, Gabrielle Union and her friend Savannah Brinson caught some rays in Miami this afternoon (May 28).
The 39-year-old showed off her rocking physique in a tiny white bikini that she paired with a cowboy hat and tweeted earlier today sharing, ?Some military members fight a mental, emotional, financial, spiritual war when they return home, let's take care of our troops!?
Miss Union may be soaking up the sun, but she recently told People that she does not mess around with her SPF protection saying, ??I don?t tan on purpose, but I do a lot of beach workouts. But I go SPF 110.?
The ?Think Like a Man? star went on to add, ?As an African-American woman, culturally we have been told that we have natural protection against the sun ? but we?re absolutely part of the one in five. As I?ve gotten older, I?ve seen relatives? moles change shape, and they think ?That?s cute ? it?s like Janet Jackson!? But it?s not cute ? it?s called melanoma.?
The actress is working with Neutrogena to promote its healthy skin campaign and fight against skin cancer.

I?ve always loved Gabrielle Union. It?s something about her dimples and her ability to be both super-cute and extremely sexy. I would hit that, basically. She?s gorgeous. So whenever anyone mentioned that Gaby might have skeletons, I never really paid any attention. I was hypnotized by her dimple parade, I guess. But Gaby did have a kind of sketchy situation – she met her current boyfriend, Miami Heat baller Dwyane Wade, in 2009 when he was still married, and there MAY have been some overlap. I was looking through Bossip?s archives to see if I could find anything really juicy, but from what I can see, it all happened really fast all at the same time – Wade split from his wife Siohvaughn Funches and started up with Gaby in a matter of a few months. Maybe Wade did leave his wife for Gaby, or maybe not – I don?t know. What I do know is that Funches claims that there was more of an overlap between her marriage and Gaby?s relationship with Wade. And I also know that Gaby has sort of gotten Angelina?d in the press. She now has to spend time during her interviews justifying her relationship with Wade and setting the record straight. So it is with Gaby?s new interview with Jet Magazine:
Gaby says she didn?t want to react to the ?homewrecker? label: “I think people mistook me taking the high road as an admission of guilt. Dwyane and I made a decision very early to not react to the negativity. And I kept feeling like the truth would come out. The problem is, when it did, nobody cared. What I discovered on social media is that people don’t read the entire story.”
She was concerned about Wade?s kids, Zaire, 10, and Zion, 4: “They’re old enough to understand the mean things that strangers can say.?
Funches filed suit against Gaby, claiming Gaby wrecked her home and was ?detrimental? to Zaire and Zion?s wellbeing: ?I fought it. My life is just too easy to track? We were submitting plenty of proof for the times she said I was in Miami. So, it was like, obviously you’re not telling the truth. And then the courts dismissed the case.?
In the end, she got her man: “I did a lot of talking with girlfriends and sorting through my feelings about the madness. This kind of love is a gift. It’s so consistent. There’s no way that I would trade it for people who refuse to simply acknowledge the truth.”
On her relationship with Funches: ?I?ve never had one. I wasn?t involved then-because I wasn?t involved with their marriage?and I don?t have one now.?

Oooh, girl. My radar is up. Now I totally believe there was some overlap. Could it be that Gaby isn?t being ?Angelina?d? as much as she?s being ?LeAnn?d?? And why isn?t this sketchy situation getting more attention in the mainstream press? Is it like the Alicia Keys stuff all over again? The white-centric tabloid media outlets don?t care about the really juicy, scandalous stuff that happens to African-American celebrities?
Oh, and Gaby and Wade appeared on the cover of Essence together just a few months ago – Wade said they have no plans to get married. Interesting.

I can never remember what it is that Gabrielle Union does, does that make me a terrible person? Is she an actress or a singer? Anyhow, I guess it doesn’t really matter, the fact is she looks good in a bikini and that’s all that I really care about. Here she is enjoying a little
