Iman Shumpert has filed a court motion asking for Teyana Taylor to be found in criminal contempt of court and send her to jail.
In documents obtained by Complex, a motion filed by Shumpert and his legal team demands that Taylor be found in contempt for violating the terms of their divorce. Claiming neither party could talk about the case, he’s asking the court to fine her $1,000 and throw her in jail for 20 days.
According to Shumpert, 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.”
Shumpert added that Taylor’s violation of their deal caused him financial loss and damage to his reputation, both personal and professional. He also accused Teyana of removing their children from school and keeping him from picking them up while also bad-mouthing him in front of them.
“For example, in the presence of the children, [Teyana] has shouted crude and inflammatory racial insults at [Iman],” read the motion. “Such insults and criticism of [Iman] have caused the children to unjustly suffer stress and worry, unfairly placing the children in the self-imposed position of peacemaker between their parents.”
Shump’s legal team added: “Insulting [Iman] in the presence of his children was maliciously intended to damage the relationship between father and child. Denigrating and insulting [Iman] in the presence of his children is a … violation of the orders of this court.”
This latest update in Shumpert and Taylor’s messy situation comes weeks after the latter filed a motion to find her ex in contempt. Taylor accused Shumpert of leaking sealed divorce documents to the press and wanted him thrown in jail for 20 days as well. However, Taylor has since claimed she doesn’t want Shumpert to be incarcerated.
