Iman Shumpert left Teyana Taylor and daughters in unfinished home to live in luxury, divorce docs claim
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Teyana Taylor has alleged that she and her children are forced to live in an incomplete home while her estranged husband, Iman Shumpert, is enjoying a life full of luxury.
The estranged pair share two daughters — seven-year-old “Junie” Tayla, and three-year-old Rue Rose.

‘Iman has failed to pay for his portion of the agreed upon renovations’
The accusation has been made by the singer in an amended divorce petition submitted by her to get a divorce from Shumpert, RadarOnline.com reported.
In her filing, Taylor claimed that the former basketball player has “moved into one of the parties’ fully – renovated, turnkey homes while leaving [Teyana] and the parties’ minor children in the parties’ primary residence that has been under construction for the past three (3) years because [Iman] has failed to pay for his portion of the agreed upon renovations.”
The actress’ attorney mentioned, “The parties had an agreement for [Teyana] to pay for a majority of the renovations including the bedrooms and five (5) bathrooms, which have been paid for and completed. [Iman] had only two (2) areas of the home to renovate, neither of which is paid for or complete.”
“In fact, [Iman’s] contractors recently informed [Teyana] that [Iman] is not going to pay for the renovations to the home that [Iman] started three (3) years ago, which remain incomplete. [Iman’s] failure to complete the renovations he started further demonstrates the spitefulness of [Teyana] and the utter lack of concern for the safety of the parties’ two (2) minor children,” the lawyer added.

‘Iman also cashed the insurance check for the parties’ marital Sprinter van’
The music video director also accused her soon-to-be ex-husband of spending insurance money but not giving a cent “to repair the roof to the primary marital residence.”
“[Iman] put the proceeds of the check into his personal bank account, kept all of the money, but never fixed the roof on the primary marital residence where [Teyana] and the parties’ minor children reside,” Taylor's attorney asserted.
They further stated, “[Iman] also cashed the insurance check for the parties’ marital Sprinter van that was damaged and totaled during shipment.”
The lawyer then added, “[Iman] deposited those insurance funds to replace the marital Sprinter into his own personal bank account as well; however, [Teyana] shows the Court that the marital Sprinter van was never replaced, and [Iman] has kept all of the insurance proceeds for his own personal use.”
Teyana Taylor accused Iman Shumpert of ‘cruel treatment’
This came after it was revealed that Taylor filed for divorce claiming “cruel treatment” at the hands of the 33-year-old athlete, TMZ reported.
But Shumpert has dismissed the allegation and insisted that the real reason behind the separation should be an “irretrievable broken bond”.
