Shaneequa is a supporting character in Scary Movie 3. She was played by actress Queen Latifah.
Bio[]
Shaneequa is a Washington D.C.-area resident and psychic able to see possible events and read psychic impressions from physical objects. Her clarity is precise enough to ruin sports games for her husband and predict with whom he is likely to cheat on her.
She is also the wife of Orpheus and the aunt of CJ, who refers Cindy Campbell to visit her for help investigating a mysterious VHS tape). She and Orpheus are the first to see the tape and be able to survive the ordeal instead of suffering the same fate as the other victims possibly due to her psychic abilities and resistance to it.
She is also known to be a extensive chain smoker to the point all of her ashtrays and even the drawers in her living room are full of cigarette butts. She is also incredibly flatulent, blaming the habit on the sounds of her chair. Her psychic powers also allow her to predict the fate of sports games, which she uses to ruin a Los Angeles Lakers game Orpheus is watching when he becomes hesitant to help Cindy. She also uses this ability to give him grief on women he might sleep around with behind her back.
Helping Cindy, Shaneequa discovers the hidden image of a lighthouse on the tape which she initially thinks its a cigarette. Exploring the tape further, however, annoys the spirit of Tabitha's mother on the VHS tape, and she gets in a fight with the image of the mother manifesting in the physical world through her television screen, even pulling her hair out for spitting on her.
