Last year, the news of actress Teyana Taylor filing to end her seven-year marriage to former NBA player Iman Shumpert sent ripples through the entertainment world. Now, as their divorce proceedings unfold, allegations of bitter contention surface, with Teyana accusing Iman of causing confusion for their daughters during custody visits.
According to a report by Radar Online, Teyana Taylor has expressed discontent with her estranged husband, Iman Shumpert, alleging that he has introduced a female “friend” into their children’s lives in a manner she finds concerning. Teyana’s court filings reveal her request to call upon a child psychologist to testify regarding the potential impact of such incidents on young minds.
The alleged incident occurred recently during a weekend when their daughters, Junie (8) and Rue (3), were staying with Iman. Teyana claims to have learned of this situation during a FaceTime call with her daughters, where she purportedly saw and heard the presence of a female companion at Iman’s residence. Moreover, Teyana asserts that this same woman accompanied Iman and the girls to an outing at SkyZone.
In the legal documents, Teyana Taylor emphasized her belief that Iman’s actions are unnecessary and potentially harmful to their daughters, especially considering his limited custodial time with them. She contends that Iman’s decision to involve another woman during his designated parenting weekends may lead to confusion and emotional distress for their children.
Teyana’s insistence on bringing in a child psychologist to provide expert testimony underscores the gravity of the situation and her determination to protect the well-being of their daughters amidst the divorce battle. As the proceedings continue, the spotlight remains on the contentious issues surrounding the former couple’s relationship and its impact on their family dynamics.

Teyana Taylor and Leonardo DiCaprio were both spotted filming a scene for Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming untitled film. TMZ obtained footage of the two on set together from Saturday in downtown Sacramento. The two rocked business attire in the scene while walking into a high-rise building.
While little is known about the highly-anticipated project, the costume designs make the film appear to be set in the modern day. This would make it Anderson’s first to do so since 2002’s Punch-Drunk Love. In the years since, he’s released There Will Be Blood, The Master, Inherent Vice, Phantom Thread, and Licorice Pizza. In addition to Taylor and DiCaprio, the cast features Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Wood Harris, Alana Haim, and Junglepussy. After the cast was announced, Junglepussy wrote on Twitter: “BEING CAST IN A FILM LIKE THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR AN ARTIST LIKE ME GOTTA PAT MYSELF ON THE BACK.”

In other Teyana Taylor news, she recently made headlines for calling out TMZ over the outlet’s coverage of her divorce from Iman Shumpert. “Y’all really be taking it too far with these d*mn misleading headlines and I’m tired of it!” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “Every time I turn around it’s either half leaked and made up stories, or words being twisted up for clickbait!!!!” The outlet had just covered a report that her WiFi and cable had been cut off and that she hadn’t been receiving any financial support from Shumpert.

BEING CAST IN A FILM LIKE THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR AN ARTIST LIKE ME GOTTA PAT MYSELF ON THE BACK
There’s currently no release date for Paul Thomas Anderson’s next film. Check out the video from set at the “Via” link below. Be on the lookout for further updates on the project as well as Teyana Taylor on HotNewHipHop.
Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle, and young Broadway actor Chase Infiniti were also added to the cast, which already included Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Regina Hall. Licorice Pizza co-producers Sara Murphy and Adam Somner are again co-producing here along with Thomas, who also wrote the script.
Taylor’s other recent films include Hulu’s White Men Can’t Jump remake with Jack Harlow and the crticially acclaimed A Thousand And One, which holds a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 85% audience score. It looks like she’s certainly receiving the recognition in acting that she felt she wasn’t getting in music, which is both heartening (yay for recognition) and disappointing (she should have been praised before this).
Meanwhile, Alana and her sisters spent most of last year enjoying their leg of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour. Unfortunately, Haim has also had to face an unfair share of musical criticism, repeatedly refuting misogynistic claims that they don’t play their instruments live. Fortunately, no one can say Alana isn’t acting for herself when she appears in the film, which is already in production.
The ongoing divorce battle between Teyana Taylor and her estranged husband, Iman Shumpert, has taken a turn as Taylor alleges Shumpert is resorting to underhanded tactics. Amid their legal dispute, Taylor has accused Shumpert of cutting off utilities and neglecting financial responsibilities related to their marital home and their children.
Last year, Taylor filed for divorce from Shumpert after seven years of marriage, during which they welcomed two children together. However, their separation has been marred by a series of disputes over various aspects of their shared life, including finances and the division of assets.
According to TMZ, Taylor’s attorney recently filed court documents detailing Shumpert’s alleged actions. Taylor claims that Shumpert, who moved out of their Georgia home in October, has been gradually shutting down utilities at the residence where she currently resides with their children. The documents state that Shumpert’s brother, who manages his affairs, informed Taylor of Shumpert’s intentions to cut off power to the home.
Taylor further alleges that Shumpert has failed to contribute financially toward their children’s expenses, including child support, food, and clothing costs. Despite the court’s standing order for both parties to maintain the status quo on home and financial matters during the divorce proceedings, Taylor asserts that Shumpert has not upheld his responsibilities.
Taylor also claims that Shumpert left her responsible for $200,000 worth of home renovations that he initiated three years ago. Despite promises of reimbursement, Taylor states that Shumpert has not fulfilled his financial obligations regarding the renovations, citing purported financial constraints tied to investments.
In response to Shumpert’s alleged actions, Taylor’s attorney is seeking legal recourse. They are urging the court to hold Shumpert in contempt for violating the standing order and to compel him to provide monthly child support payments.
UPDATE: Teyana recently posted to her Instagram following these recent accusations.
Teyana Taylor has made shocking allegations against her estranged husband, Iman Shumpert, claiming that he is an unfit father to their two daughters.
Unfit Dad?
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Teyana Taylor accuses estranged husband Iman Shumpert of consistently failing to properly care for their children, Junie,8, andRue,3.
Taylor alleges that Shumpert has engaged in risky behavior around their children, where she claimed that the NBA player had smoked marijuana in their presence, even going as far as being under the influence while caring for them. Furthermore, Taylor points out a particular incident where Shumpert allegedly put their daughters in a rideshare in Chicago and had them dropped off at the United Center alone, while he had a private driver take him to the arena.
A Messy Divorce
It’s worth noting that these accusations come amid Taylor and Shumpert’s ongoing split.
In late 2022, Taylor announced their separation on social media, but the issues between them have escalated. Taylor had previously expressed feeling endangered as she claims to have suffered emotional abuse while with Shumpert, which led to the denial of these claims by the NBA player.

Iman Shumpert Denies Teyana Taylor’s Spousal Support Request
Ex-NBA playerIman Shumpert has fired back at allegations of irresponsibility, and cruelty in his ongoing divorce from singer Teyana Taylor. Shumpert denies Taylor’s claims, including demands for spousal support and concerns over their daughters’ safety.
Iman Shumpert Defends His Parenting
Iman Shumpert has taken a strong stance against Teyana Taylor’s recent allegations, particularly those related to his parenting.
According to Taylor’s petition, she accused Shumpert of being nonchalant about their daughters’ safety and leaving them with others for the majority of the time he requested to spend with them:
“[Shumpert] does not acknowledge this fact, nor does he properly ensure the children’s safety in public settings or otherwise. [Shumpert] asks for significant time with the parties’ minor children, but then leaves them with his parents or others for a majority of the time requested. [Shumpert’s] interest in the parties’ daughter is more like his chance for photo opportunities as opposed to [Shumpert] providing true parenting and care for the girls. [Taylor] further shows the Court that when [Shumpert] gets angry, he is irresponsible with the girls.”
Joint Custody
RadarOnline reports that Shumpert vehemently denied these claims and asserted that their children did not primarily live with their mother.
In response to the ongoing legal battle, Shumpert has requested joint “custody, custodial rights, decision-making authority, and parenting time that is in the best interest of their children.” Currently, Shumpert has been awarded 4-6 days a month to see his daughters.

Taylor stated:
“I mind my business, don’t bother nobody & y’all know I’ve never played about my children, family & our privacy. I have not spoken on this private matter to any media outlets or blogs etc. So everyone claiming “Teyana said” didn’t get any statements directly from ME. These statements were taken from private court documents that were leaked to the public. It is very heartbreaking that someone would take out the time to make such a private matter public for the world to see. However, Protecting my family is one thing I’ve ALWAYS done & for my children I will continue to do so. Please if y’all love y’all play nieces Junie & Rue like y’all have shown, please allow my self & my family some privacy to resolve this matter in peace Love y’all”

Hoping she can experience peace soon.” While another user (@sweetcarmel77) stated, “ Teyana Taylor must have forgotten how very open she’s been about her marriage to Iman Shumpert literally & figuratively. So when something happens & u both are stars well it will come out to sell celebrity content.”
Neither Iman Shumpert nor his representatives have made any statements regarding the divorce. It remains to be seen if further allegations or details will be revealed as the legal proceedings continue.

She continued:
“Most importantly we are FAMILY & in the 10yrs together, 7yrs married we ain’t ever played with or about THAT. We just keep y’all asses out the group chat lol, which is the reason we’ve been able to successfully & peacefully separate without all of the outside noise.

In other news related to break-ups, rapper Jeezy and television personality Jeannie Mai have reportedly filed for divorce, ending their two-and-a-half-year marriage. The once-wedded couple’s split adds to the string of recent celebrity break-ups.
Tensions are escalating in the custody battle between singer Teyana Taylor and former NBA player Iman Shumpert, with Taylor accusing Shumpert of neglecting the safety of their children. The divorce proceedings, already marked by legal disputes, have taken a new turn as Taylor alleges Shumpert’s parenting choices pose risks to their two kids.
In legal documents obtained by TMZ, Taylor doesn’t hold back in criticizing Shumpert’s parenting skills. She claims that Shumpert consistently fails to meet the basic needs of their children, even neglecting to provide them with proper meals while they are in his care.
One of the most serious allegations is Taylor’s assertion that Shumpert smokes marijuana around the children and is sometimes under the influence when taking care of them. The documents outline instances where Taylor believes Shumpert’s actions have jeopardized the safety of their kids.
One specific incident mentioned in the legal filing involves Shumpert reportedly putting the children in a rideshare in Chicago, having them dropped off at the United Center alone, while he opted for a private driver to take him to the arena.
Summing up her concerns, Taylor claims that Shumpert “consistently demonstrates a clear disregard for the safety of the minor children.” These allegations come in response to Shumpert’s denial of Taylor’s previous claim that he made her feel endangered during their time together.
As the divorce proceedings unfold, the public watches closely as this once-united couple faces off in a heated custody battle that sheds light on their differing views on parenting and child safety.
Teyana Taylor has just come out with some serious claims against her ex-husband and former NBA star Iman Shumpert. The two were married for seven years and together for 10. That is until the two eventually split in late September of last year. Not too much was known as to why they decided to separate initially. However, in November another update came out that the singer was the one who wanted to end things.
According to some legal documents, Teyana claimed Iman was “treating her cruelly and displaying extreme narcissistic behavior throughout the majority of their marriage.” Then, things got even more serious when Iman denied allegations against him that he was “endangering” her in multiple ways. Now, Teyana is going all in, essentially doubling down on those previous claims.
