Teyana Taylor was ordered to pay Iman Shumpert $70,000 after a Georgia court found she willfully violated their divorce settlement.
Teyana Taylor was ordered by a Georgia court to pay her ex-husband, Iman Shumpert, $70,000 in legal fees after being found in contempt of court related to their ongoing divorce dispute.
The judge ruled Taylor violated a clause in their 2024 divorce judgment that prohibited either party from disclosing details about the settlement.
Shumpert claimed Taylor breached this agreement when she posted an Instagram video in March 2025 discussing their split, and the court agreed that this was a willful violation.
Teyana Taylor says she has proof that Iman is paying blogs to post things about their divorce.
She claims she’s protected him throughout this entire process and even when she went to him about death threats, he did nothing.

According to Us Weekly, the court dismissed Taylor’s accusations that Shumpert leaked divorce details to the media, noting she failed to provide evidence and lacked diligence in her contempt claim.
Taylor previously accused Shupert of intentionally releasing sealed court records to the media and asked for the judge to sentence him to jail time.
Shumpert claimed it was Taylor who leaked divorce documents and also urged the court to jail Taylor.
Taylor’s request for Shumpert to pay her legal fees was denied, and the judge noted that Taylor refused to answer questions about her financial situation during the case.
The court described Taylor as “willfully” in contempt based on the disclosure and her ability to pay, noting her active career with film and TV projects following the divorce.
Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert were married in 2016 and have two daughters together; Taylor filed for divorce in January 2023, citing “cruel treatment” and accusing Shumpert of emotional abuse, which he denies.
The $70,000 payment to Shumpert’s lawyer is due within two weeks of the court order date.
