According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the ex-NBA star denied the claims in Taylor’s recent motion for contempt.

Last month, in her motion, Taylor's attorney wrote, “Much to the [Taylor’s] dismay, [Shumpert] appears to want to drag out this case through trial instead of working to resolve the divorce amicably with [Taylor].”

“On January 23, 2023, the Petitioner discovered that the cable and Wi-Fi at the marital residence was no longer working. Petitioner attempted to obtain additional information from the cable and Wi- Fi service provider regarding this matter, but to no avail as the account is listed in Respondent’s name. Then, on the morning of January 24, 2024, the parties’ minor children discovered that the water had been disconnected at the marital residence,” the motion read.

“[Shumpert] has willfully and with no regard for the parties’ minor children, violated said STANDING ORDER by causing the disconnection of water, cable and Wi-Fi at the marital residence where the minor children reside,” her motion read. “[Taylor] anticipates that the gas and electricity at the marital residence will be disconnected next [Shumpert].”

In his newly filed response, Shumpert denied the accusations he cut off the utilities. He claimed Taylor demanded the bills be transferred into her name in January 2024.

He said he agreed to transfer the bills into her name but said he “never requested or directed disconnection of any utility services such as would have left [Taylor] and the children without electricity, water, gas, or other basic utilities for any period of time.” He said that, as of the date that the response is filed, he believes all accounts to be current and paid in full.

A judge denied Taylor's emergency motion but the matter has yet to be resolved.
