Iman Shumpert Disputes Teyana Taylor “Endangerment” Claim

Iman Shumpert has asked the court to dismiss new documents filed by Teyana Taylor in their ongoing divorce proceedings. The documents in question see Taylor amend the reason for the divorce from “irrevocable broken bond” to “cruel treatment”. This implies that Shumpert was physically, mentally, or emotionally abusive toward Taylor. However, Shumpert has called for the documents to be dismissed, stating that Taylor has not proven the allegation despite the filing.

It’s just the latest chapter in what is quickly becoming a nasty divorce case. Taylor originally filed for divorce only using their initials for privacy. However, Shumpert had the court amend the filing to include their full names and thus put everything out into the public sphere. Since filing for divorce, the pair have been living separately and only communicate on matters relating to their two daughters.
