In the lawsuit, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, Wade is seeking at least $50,000 in damages from each defendant.

That wasn't enough to satisfy the 2006 NBA finals MVP, who said her allegations not onlydefamed him, but caused "embarrassment" and "humiliation" along with damaging future earning potential.
"It has beendifficult to see false allegations, rumors and gossip repeatedly discussed in public about my personal life," Dwyane Wade said in a statement released tothe AP. "I had no other choice but to file this action in order to clear my name."
