Shaquille O'Neal's ex-wife, Shaunie Henderson, has said an eye-catching quote about their marriage from her new memoir was 'taken out of context.'

In 'UNDEFEATED: Changing the Rules and Winning on My Own Terms,' - which was released on Tuesday - Henderson questioned whether or not she was truly in love with O'Neal - and also accused him of 'going missing' during their relationship.

Now, Henderson has walked back the 'in love' quote in an interview with PEOPLE.

'My book is my truth, and when I was talking to my friend yesterday, I was like, developing an opinion and a comment from content with no context will show you a lot of people's intelligence and unintelligence, right? There was no context to just that one quote that I said, and I think that sadly, people are taking my words out of context,' she said.

'I'm not a word girl. I'm a character girl, and since I've left the marriage of Shaquille, my character has spoken for itself,' she added.
