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.”
Fontaines D.C. have teamed up with Rosalía for their new collaboration, Where Is Gone?.
The song features on the Irish rock band's forthcoming album, Dopamine Chamber, which arrives on Friday (16.10.26). For guitarist Carlos O’Connell, working with the Spanish superstar is particularly special because of his own Spanish roots.
He explained: “I’ve admired Rosalía ever since her debut album, which I thought was absolutely beautiful.
“What excited me most was the way she continued to preserve Spain's musical traditions, something that felt spiritually connected to what we've been trying to achieve with Irish music. Having roots in both countries, it's been really special to witness. "She's an artist who has continued to amaze me at every point in her career.”
Frontman Grian Chatten has also described the collaboration with Rosalía as one of the most memorable achievements of his career.
He revealed that he felt "humbled" when she agreed to lend her voice to the band's album.
Speaking to NPR, Grian said: “I've always felt there's something almost like a single big idea that I'm personally trying to communicate to the world before I get old and die, if that makes sense. There's one thing I think I'll spend my life trying to express. I have a feeling she has a similar outlook. … I mean, she's an amazing arranger, composer and lyricist. It means so much that she wanted to sing on something we'd put together. It's definitely one of the highlights of my career.”
Rosalía's links to Irish rock music extend beyond Fontaines D.C. She also offered inspiration and helped develop the Spanish lyrics for U2's The Mirror Maker (Rosalía), a track from their forthcoming album, Carnaval de Luz.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week, she spoke about frontman Bono, saying: “I don't know him personally, but he sent me a text explaining that he was working on a new project and had written a song called The Mirror Maker."
Rosalía joked that Bono had invented a few words of his own.
She recalled telling him: “I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I told him he could create his own language if he wanted to.”
She described the opportunity to collaborate with the 66 year old music veteran as a real privilege.
She added: “Bono is a legend.
“It's amazing.”
Bono recently revealed that he was worried about seeming like a stalker when he reached out to Rosalía to ask whether he could name the song after her.
