Fans React To Teyana Taylor's Statement Confirming Divorce From Iman Shumpert
On Friday (Nov. 24), Teyana Taylor confirmed that she has indeed filed for divorce from her longtime husband, Iman Shumpert. The popular multi-hyphenate took to her Instagram story to say, “I mind my business, don’t bother nobody and y’all know I have never played about my children, family and our privacy.”
She continued, “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.”
Regarding how hard it is to deal with the public issue, Taylor stated, “It is very heartbreaking that someone would take the time to make such a private matter public for the world to see.” She continued the statement on her Instagram story, saying, “However, protecting my family is one thing I’ve always done, and for my children, I will continue to do so.”
