Iman Shumpert is looking for ex-wife Teyana Taylor to face extreme consequences for what he alleges is breaching their divorce agreement.
According to In Touch, the former NBA star filed a motion for contempt on Monday (May 5), accusing Taylor of talking about their split – which was listed as prohibited for both parties in their deal.
He wrote that on March 12, Teyana “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 alleges he suffered loss of income and damage to his personal and professional reputation because of this, adding, “The precise amount to be more particularly stated and proven at the trial of this matter.”
He also claims Teyana willfully obstructed and interfered with his right to pick up their kids on April 17, and that she has been speaking poorly of him in front of them.
He’s asking the court to find her in civil and criminal contempt and demanding she be fined $1,000 and imprisoned for up to 20 days.
This filing comes months after a similar one from Teyana, who accused Shumpert of leaking details of their divorce agreement to the press back in March.
It is also implied that Shumpert leaked the documents shortly after Taylor shared photos of herself with actor Aaron Pierre and that she suffered harassment online as a result of reports about their divorce.
She then requested the same repercussions: for the court to find him in civil and criminal contempt and demanding he be fined $1,000 and imprisoned for up to 20 days.
However, she later spoke out and said she had absolutely no desire or intent to have him jailed.
Taylor initially filed for divorce in January 2023 after seven years of marriage, long before the former couple announced their separation that September.
In the divorce filing, the ex-G.O.O.D. Music signee also asked for primary custody of their two children and accused Shumpert of “treating her cruelly and displaying extreme narcissistic behavior throughout the majority of their marriage.”
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
