She firmly denied making such statements and emphasized the importance of extending grace to her ex-husband. Despite her intentions, she revealed that he hasn’t made the process any smoother. Teyana expressed her frustrations, stating that he is exploiting their divorce drama to promote his artistic endeavors while failing to defend her against online backlash from trolls. This dynamic highlights the complexity of their relationship amid public scrutiny.

As of now, Iman has not released any new projects or issued a public statement regarding the situation. However, he shared several visuals on social media soon after Teyana’s candid remarks, which many interpreted as a subtle response to her comments.

Iman Shumpert Communicates Through Visuals Instead of Words

In a move that many on social media are interpreting as a response to Teyana, Iman opted to express himself via a carousel of images on Instagram. His post lacked a caption, which adds to the intrigue. The first image features him adjusting his chain, while the second shows him seated beside a car, engrossed in his phone. The third slide is a video from a set, and the fourth captures a tender moment of him and Teyana’s daughter peacefully falling asleep. The last image is a repost about his zodiac sign, Cancer, suggesting a personal touch amidst the ongoing drama.

“Cancers don’t get mad; we get disappointed…which is worse,” reads the repost. This cryptic message indicates that Iman is choosing to remain silent rather than publicly supporting Teyana, despite her expressed desire for him to stand by her side during this tumultuous time.

Teyana Taylor Speaks Out Against Jail Request Allegations

In a recent live video, Teyana took the opportunity to confront various narratives surrounding her relationship with Iman, shedding light on their challenging divorce journey. This candid moment marked her first public acknowledgment of the difficulties they faced, including Iman’s absence from mediation sessions, which has forced them into a more adversarial court process.

“I’ve been nothing but solid to that man, and all I ask for is for him to stand up for me. You see what’s happening? You see, that’s not true. If I would’ve filed that motion, I would’ve had to continue to deal with this,” Teyana expressed. She emphasized her commitment to her artistic projects while grappling with the distractions of divorce rumors, which she finds deeply frustrating and unproductive.

“And [the rumors] is always conveniently coming out when Iman has a song or a new venture his way. I’m not here to talk about any of our personal business. I am here to talk about what is exactly on the internet that is making me look like I’m some kind of villain.”

Teyana Taylor reiterated her stance, firmly stating that she never requested for Iman Shumpert to face incarceration. Instead, she has consistently sought to keep their divorce proceedings private. Initially, she expressed a desire for discretion, but the ongoing public attention has left her feeling exasperated and overwhelmed by the situation.
