AceShowbiz - Teyana Taylor has been left furious by a report about her divorce from Iman Shumpert. The "A Thousand and One" actress made use of her Instagram Story to put TMZ on blast for claiming that her estranged husband had cut utilities in the home where she lives with their two kids.
"Yo @tmz are you serious????" the 33-year-old kicked off her lengthy rant. "Y'all really be taking it too far with these d*mn misleading headlines and I'm tired of it! Every time I turn around it's either half leaked and made up stories, or words being twisted up for clickbait!!!! I kindly asked you mothaf%ckas to mind ya damn business, and for y'all to respect me and my family's privacy."
"HOWEVER, y'all keep putting out f%ckery. If you're going to keep leaking my documents, SHOW IT ALL & COME CORRECT!!! Stop taking bits and pieces and putting 10's on 2's!" she added. "I've been very GRACEFUL, CORDIAL AND PROTECTIVE OF ALL PARTIES INVOLVED IN THIS WHOLE PROCESS. Sadly, that energy has not been reciprocated AT ALL!! But I still walk in GRACE! HOWEVER, I GOT TIME TAH-DAY."
Teyana went on to emphasize, "Once again from day one...TEYANA HAS NEVER SAID ANYTHINGGGGGGGGGGG TO ANYONE!!! I haven't spoken to any blogs or anyone else for that matter!!! My court documents aren't clickbait to be used for your salacious headlines!!!" She continued, "Y'all are taking info from my original court complaint (which, newsflash...has to be submitted giving your reasons as to why you're filing for divorce) as well as other court documents and creating these stories."
"If you Mothaf%ckas gone be in my business b%tch be in the whole thing, get [accurate] information and actually comprehend! I can't stand y'all a**3s!!!! And let's settle this once and for all!" she fumed. "I FILED FOR DIVORCE UNDER INITIALS FOR PRIVACY. WHICH KEPT THIS MATTER PRIVATE FOR ALMOST A WHOLE YEAR UNTIL SOMEONE DECIDED TO FILE A MOTION USING OUR FULL NAMES WHICH THEN MADE OUR DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS PUBLIC FOR THE WORLD TO SEE! Also, let me add...ALL OF THE UTILITIES IN MY HOME WAS ON SAME DAY AFTER THAT S**T WAS PULLED!! Me and my kids are NEVER GOING TO BE SITTING DUCKS."
In the court filing obtained by TMZ, Teyana allegedly recalled waking up one day to find the WiFi and cable had been turned off. One day later, the water stopped running. She feared that the former NBA star would follow through and cut off their gas and electricity, leaving her and their two children in a cold, dark home and without water.
The singer reportedly said Iman moved out of the home back in October 2023 and shortly afterward, his brother, who handles his personal affairs, told her that the athlete intended to shut off the power. She claimed since then Iman hasn't paid a cent of child support or covered any of the kids' expenses, including food and clothing costs.
