Contentious divorce proceedings between Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor are getting even uglier.
Now, according to TMZ, Taylor wants Shumpert to be jailed for contempt, claiming he leaked sealed documents about their divorce, which led to an onslaught of public scrutiny and hate speech towards her from social media users chiming in, all the while taking his side.
She reportedly thinks that because social media is swaying his way, he used the publicity to drop a new single and bring more attention to his music career. So she’s asking the judge to lock him up for 20 days and impose the most significant fine against him.
The singer claims the leaked false settlement wasn’t even a “settlement” because it was just what the court awarded her, and she paid for the cars and tour bus she got.
The controversy began last weekend when social media ran with a report that after the divorce, she received four properties, a seven-figure payout, a $300,000 Maybach, a $70,000 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and a tour bus. On top of that, the former NBA player was reportedly ordered to pay $8,000 monthly in child support and pay for their two daughters, Junie and Rue, private school education.
The divorce was settled in July 2024, but with social media abuzz with the alleged new information, Taylor’s mom, Nikki, questioned how it just now leaked online.
“It’s awful strange that the case is sealed, from a divorce that was finalized in July 1, 2024; but all of this information as to what she allegedly got is public this week?” Taylor said in the Shade Room’s Instagram comment section. “What about the other party received? Let’s be crystal clear, BOTH parties walked with the properties, vehicles and businesses that they obtained separately.”
She later clarified her initial statement, calling the report “BS,” clarifying that both parties walked away with the assets they earned independently.
Taylor has reportedly moved on as she’s been seen cozied up to Mufasa: The Lion King actor Aaron Pierre.
