Jeannie Mai asked a judge to deny her estranged husband Jeezy’s request to seal filing in their ongoing divorce — and questioned his motives for the ask.

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the talk show host opposed Jeezy’s motion to seal the record.

In her new motion, Mai said that she had “refrained from detailing specifics” in her divorce filings, “aiming for an amicable resolution, which remains her goal.”

She said, “Since the commencement of these proceedings, there has indeed been increased media attention, which was a foreseeable consequence given the parties’ celebrity status.”

Mai said, “The timing of [Jeezy’s] Motion to Seal, six months into the proceedings, raises questions regarding his motivations for trying to limit the public’s access to the case. Nonetheless, [Mai] contends that sealing the court records at this time is unnecessary and unwarranted.”

Her lawyer argued, “there is a presumption that the public has a right to access the court to ensure that proceedings are conducted fairly and impartially and that the judicial process is open and accountable.”

Mai asked that the Motion to Seal be denied.
