Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert‘s divorce seemingly started off rather amicably, but has since turned in quite an ugly direction.
In new documents obtained by TMZ on Tuesday (January 9), Teyana alleges that Iman has exhibited less than stellar parenting skills that include failing to feed their two young children while they’re in his care and even smoking weed around them.

Noting the former NBA player “consistently demonstrates a clear disregard for the safety of the minor children,” Teyana described a specific instance where Iman allegedly put the kids in a rideshare in Chicago and had them dropped off at the United Center unaccompanied while he had a private driver take him separately to the same place.
Teyana Taylor filed for divorce in January 2023, long before the former couple announced their separation in September.

In the divorce filing, Taylor also asked for primary custody of their children as well as joint legal custody and child support, and accused Shumpert of “treating her cruelly and displaying extreme narcissistic behavior throughout the majority of their marriage.”
She also accused the former New York Knicks player of “being extremely emotionally and mentally abusive towards her,” adding that he could be prone to exhibiting “cruel behavior and selfishness.”

Her filing also claims Shumpert cheated on her multiple times during their relationship, contrary to her previous statement that “infidelity ain’t one of the reasons for our departure.”
Taylor’s petition for divorce also includes details such as Shumpert crashing her Rolls-Royce and fleeing the scene to avoid arrest, displaying jealous behavior whenever she was in the spotlight, and asking her not to work.

In his response, Iman Shumpert denied the claims and said that Teyana lacked proof of her assertions. He is petitioning the court to have their reason for divorce changed to “irretrievable broken bond,” according to TMZ.
Since separating, Taylor has been forced to deny rumors that she was pregnant.
While appearing on the red carpet for the Gotham Awards in November, Taylor wore a tight-fitting black dress which some onlookers thought made her look pregnant.
She quickly shut down the rumors on Instagram, saying: “Auntey ain’t preggo y’all! I just had to pee. Y’all know that pee pouch ain’t nothing to play wit. My kangaroo pouch ass.”

Taylor was at the awards ceremony as she was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress for her performance in A Thousand and One, but she lost out to Lily Gladstone for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon.
