Shumpert requested in court that the “cruel treatment” his ex-wife listed as the reason for their divorce be changed to “irretrievable broken bond” amid Taylor’s Nov.22 filing, as reported by TMZ. He also stated that she did not prove that he mistreated her in any way that made her feel unsafe during their marriage.
In her original divorce filing, Taylor accused Shumpert of displaying “extreme narcissistic behavior” throughout their marriage and subjected her to an emotional rollercoaster. She also claimed Shumpert didn’t want her to work and refused jobs she tried to him near the end of his career with the NBA.

Shumpert was also accused of cheating as Taylor tried to save their marriage in a toxic environment. However, she wanted to keep the divorce private and addressed it in an Instagram post that someone made the divorce documents public.
“I mind my business, don’t bother nobody & y’all know I’ve never played about my children, family & our privacy. I have not spoken on this private matter to any media outlets or blogs etc. So everyone claiming “Teyana said” didn’t get any statements directly from ME. These statements were taken from private court documents that were leaked to the public. It is very heartbreaking that someone would take out the time to make such a private matter public for the world to see.
However, Protecting my family is one thing I’ve ALWAYS done & for my children / will continue to do so. Please if y’all love y’all play nieces Junie & Rue like y’all have shown, please allow myself & my family some privacy to resolve this matter in peace.”
