Teyana Taylor filed for divorce from Iman Shumpert after 7 years of marriage.
According to recently released court documents, the singer filed for divorce in January, eight months to September when the couple announced their split on Instagram.
The documents allege that Shumpert became increasingly jealous and controlling as Taylor’s career took off. He allegedly did not want her to work and often made her feel like she needed to “intentionally dim the lights so her husband could try to have a harmonious and peaceful marriage.”
Taylor also accuses Shumpert of emotional and mental abuse, claiming he often treated her cruelly and exhibited “extreme narcissistic behavior throughout most of their marriage.”
She also claims that Shumpert became irritated at public events when photographers asked him to step aside to take solo photos of Teyana.
Despite her efforts to save the marriage, Taylor says Shumpert’s behavior eventually became too much for her to handle. She describes their relationship as an “emotional rollercoaster” that she could no longer bear.
These new details shed light on the underlying issues that led to Taylor and Shumpert’s split.
Although she downplayed talk of infidelity in her September announcement, where she wrote, “to be 1000% clear, ‘infidelity’ is not one of the reasons for our leaving,” TMZ reports that cheating is part of the divorce filing.
Legal documents filed with the Georgia Chronicle also include the revelation of a 2022 divorce filing that Taylor withdrew the next day.
She is now seeking primary physical custody of their two children, as well as joint legal custody and child support.
