Disney Sues Late Stuart Scott’s Estate Over Ex’s Claim for $162,000
Shaquille O'Neal's Son To Miss Season At UCLA With Heart Ailment
SHAREEF O'NEAL
UCLA freshman Shareef O'Neal will sit out the entire upcoming basketball season be- cause of a heart condition.
The younger O'Neal didn't specify the condition, saying only that "I know it's something serious and it's risky."
O'Neal said he will attend classes and take a medical red- shirt. He's expected to be side- lined for three to four months after undergoing surgery.
O'Neal said doctors discov- ered the condition after he "felt funny" during summer prac- tices. He wore a heart monitor attached to a button that he pressed whenever he wanted to send an alert. He received the diagnosis a few weeks after pressing the button during a practice.
LeBron James Says He
Walt Disney Company is suing the estate of the late and beloved ESPN sports broad- caster Stuart Scott. WDC is claiming that Scott’s ex-wife gripe over $162,000 that he left when he died of cancer, is misguided, she should be tak- ing action against his estate and not them.
Kimberley Scott, the ex- wife, recently filed a lawsuit against Disney and Fidelity saying her divorce from Stu- art gave her the rights to his retirement fund from Disney.
But Disney is fighting back. In court documents, Disney states at the time of Stuart Scott’s death in 2015, he had listed his family trust as the beneficiary of his retirement accounts, not his ex-wife. Dis- ney claims to have distributed his funds to his trust prior to receiving Kimberley’s legal docs.
Disney looks to be on the right side of the issue and is claiming they did nothing wrong when they paid out the money to the estate. However,
it’s a little more complicated.
Kimber- ley Scott filed for divorce from Stuart Scott in 2007. At that time, the ESPN host was ordered to pay his ex-wife
Shares Wine With His
Sons — Ages 11 And 14
STUART SCOTT
LeBron James was telling reporters at a Los An- geles Lakers practice Tuesday how “mature” his two sons, ages 14 and 11, are, when he revealed that he and his wife even share wine with them. James quickly added that the decision to permit his children to consume wine was “on me,” not “on mom.”
The 33-year-old NBA su- perstar, in his first season with the Lakers, had been asked if he had picked up greater awareness of “pop culture” from his youthful new team- mates. “Not really,” James replied, explaining that “same things” to which players on his squad are listening or watch- ing are also enjoyed by his sons.
“So I get it all at home with my 14- and my 11-year-old,” James said. Asked what that said about his children, James replied, “It doesn’t say

The problem is Scott died on January 4, 2015 without ever complying with the di- vorce decree to transfer the $162k. Kimberley attempted to collect on the money after his death but was told the money was already handed out to his estate.
Disney says they want the court to dismiss them from the case and allow the estate and ex-wife to battle it out alone. Meanwhile, distribution of the funds has been frozen since the dispute arose.
The case is ongoing.

“I’ve got very mature 14- and 11-year-olds,” he contin- ued. “My 14- and 11-year-olds drink wine.”
“Really?” a reporter said. “Yeah, that’s how mature they are,” James said, before jok- ing, “They’ll be driving next week, too.”
Asked if his children pre- ferred “white or red,” James said, “Whatever dad or mom is having.”
