Teyana Taylor must pay ex-husband Iman Shumpert $70,000 after dispute over leaked divorce details?

🏫 Court Orders Teyana Taylor to Pay $ 70 K to Ex – Husband Iman Shumpertset the tone with a bold intro slide.

💑 Taylor and Shumpert were married from 2016 until their separation—Taylor filed for divorce in January 2023, finalized in July 2024.

🤔 The Disclosure Dispute – The divorce judgment included a confidentiality clause prohibiting anyone from publicly exposing its terms.

In March 2025, Taylor posted an Instagram video referencing the divorce details.

👩‍🎤 What Taylor Claimed – Taylor accused Shumpert of leaking divorce information to the media in response to her public appearance with actor Aaron Pierre.

✍️ His Response – His attorney firmly denied any leaks, affirming his compliance with the court order to keep the case sealed.

🏘️ Court Ruling – The court found Taylor in willful contempt of court for violating the confidentiality provision by posting the video.

Her claim against Shumpert lacked sufficient evidence.

The $70,000 Penalty – The judge ordered Taylor to pay $70,000 in Shumpert’s legal fees, to be settled within two weeks.

Her request for Shumpert to cover her fees was denied.

🤷 Co-Parenting & Ongoing Tension – While the judge declined Shumpert’s request to hold Taylor in contempt over alleged parenting plan violations, the divorce remains contentious.

📰 This ruling underscores the importance of adhering to confidentiality in legal agreements.

The couple continues to co-parent their two daughters, Junie (9) and Rue (4).

It also illustrates the risks of publicizing sensitive matters once legal proceedings are sealed.

Taylor has two weeks to pay the $70,000.Their legal battle may continue depending on future court filings—especially if she appeals or contests.

Outside the courtroom, Taylor is moving forward personally and professionally, including her emerging relationship with Aaron Pierre.
