Teyana Taylor Pays $70K Divorce Fine Ending Legal Dispute

Teyana Taylor recently discussed her 2024 divorce from former NBA player Iman Shumpert, revealing she was ordered to pay $70,000 in legal fees after violating a gag order by publicly addressing their split on Instagram Live. She called the fine "the best lil coin I ever spent," explaining she spoke out to counter false rumors that she took all of Shumpert's money and to defend herself against what she described as a smear campaign orchestrated by Shumpert and his team. Taylor said she had contacted Shumpert beforehand, believing they were on good terms, but he denied leaking information and accused her instead. Despite the public and legal battles, Taylor has moved on and is now in a healthy relationship with actor Aaron Pierre. She emphasized her focus on her two daughters and not letting anger or hurt hold her back, while also expressing relief that the divorce is finalized. Taylor's new album, Escape Room, marks her return after a five-year hiatus and is accompanied by a short film featuring LaKeith Stanfield and Pierre.
