Teyana Taylor is pushing back against Iman Shumpert’s claims, calling his accusations false as their divorce turns increasingly tense.
Earlier this month, Shumpert filed a motion accusing Taylor of violating their divorce terms. He asked the court to either fine her or sentence her to 20 days in jail. According to court documents, he claimed that Taylor insulted him in front of their children, causing emotional distress. “[Taylor] has shouted crude and inflammatory racial insults at [Shumpert],” the motion stated. “Such insults and criticism of [Shumpert] have caused the children to unjustly suffer stress and worry, unfairly placing the children in the self-imposed position of peacemaker between their parents.”
Taylor has now responded in new court filings obtained by In Touch, denying all of Shumpert’s claims. She rejected the idea that her online activity harmed his public image or finances. She also denied taking their children Junie and Rue Rose out of school without cause or preventing him from seeing them. Her response called for the court to dismiss Shumpert’s petition, arguing that his version of events is simply not true.
The drama follows Shumpert’s recent interview on the Tap In With TT podcast where he addressed some of the issues surrounding their breakup. He said he felt hurt by the claims that he was an absent father and said the public focus on their past is frustrating. “We had great years, you know what I’m saying? Like, great years together,” he said. “So, it’s like, I can’t let this now cause it to be negative stuff. Something happened, they discussing it, but that happened a year ago. Y’all still discussing it, discuss it.”
As both sides continue to make their cases, the legal battle between the two shows no sign of slowing down.
