Go ahead and add computer hacker to the list of Shaquille O'Neal's many talents.

According to a RadarOnline report, O'Neal is being sued by former employee Shawn Darling based on multiple accusations.

The accuser claims that O'Neal hacked into voicemail and email systems belonging to both Darling and Shaq's former mistress Vanessa Lopez and tampered with their accounts. The report indicates that Lopez, too, is suing the NBA star.

Darling also claims that O'Neal used his connections in law enforcement to obtain restricted information about Alexis Miller, another of O'Neal's mistresses who sued Shaq. He then used this information to plant incriminating evidence — potentially child pornography — intended to frame Darling, who additionally maintains that O'Neal destroyed the evidence by throwing a laptop in the lake behind his home.

Darling has an extensive criminal background, which he claims was a reason that Shaq wanted to hire him. He claims to have done a "Department of Defense-type wipe of O'Neal's computer" at his request.

The legal documents can be seen here although no criminal charges have yet to surface.
