Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert’s drama continues well after their divorce. Shumpert recently filed a petition accusing Taylor of misconduct and asked that she be held in contempt of court. However, Taylor has pushed back against the petition. She said her ex-husband lied and requested the court to dismiss his petition. This move comes almost a year after the former couple finalized their divorce and moved on.
Teyana Taylor Responds To Iman Shumpert’s Petition
Taylor is not having any of Iman Shumpert’s response to their divorce and has asked the court for support. The actress responded to her ex-husband’s petition, which he recently filed, accusing her of misconduct. She officially responded on May 14, denying the former NBA player’s allegations in court documents In Touch obtained. Taylor refuted Shumpert’s claims that she violated the terms of their divorce agreement, delivered in a sealed judgment.
She also denied the allegations that she removed their children from school without good reason or interfered with his parenting time. She”categorically denied causing any loss of income or damage to [Shumpert’s] professional reputation.” Teyana Taylor said Iman Shumpert’s claims were unfounded and asked the court to dismiss his petition. She pleaded that she not be held in contempt. The singer also insisted that she has only acted within her legal rights as a co-parent and public figure.
Iman Shumpert Files Case Against Teyana Taylor
Taylor and Shumpert resumed their legal battle earlier this month. Shumpert threw the first stone when he filed a motion claiming Taylor violated the terms of their divorce agreement. He asked that she be held in contempt of court, alleging that Taylor “willfully and contemptuously” exposed private details of their divorce.
In the petition, he claimed Taylor “willfully and contemptuously exposed and broadcast specific provisions of the final judgment decree of divorce and related provisions, recklessly disregarding the financial circumstances, privacy, safety, and security of the parties and their minor children.”
He asked the court to consider criminal contempt charges against his ex-wife. This puts Taylor at risk of 20 days in jail. Iman Shumpert also had more accusations against Teyana Taylor as he added racist bias and conduct in his motion. The former Knicks player alleged that the actress “shouted crude and inflammatory racial insults at [Iman]” in the presence of their kids. He claimed this caused them “stress” and placed them in the “self-imposed position of peacemaker between the parents.”
