Teyana Taylor accused her ex-husband, Iman Shumpert, of being a “professional victim” in private messages revealed during their court battle, Us Weekly can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by Us, Teyana released the messages where she accused Shumpert of being “bitter” and making efforts to gaslight her days after he asked the court to force her to pay his legal bills in court.

On July 7, Shumpert, 35, asked the court to award him legal fees in his court battle with Taylor, 34.

Taylor and Shumpert both accuse the other of violating the terms of their 2024 divorce judgment.

In his new motion, Shumpert said Taylor has failed to produce or find any evidence to back up her claim that he leaked information about their divorce to the media. He said Taylor demanded documents from “no less than 19 different entertainment news blogs.”

“Neither Taylor nor any of the news blogs has produced any text message, email … or any other communication or correspondence from Shumpert disclosing any of the details from the divorce,” his lawyer wrote. “Taylor has no text messages, emails or other correspondence from Shumpert which disclose information ordered to be sealed.”

Shumpert said the accusations made by Taylor were without “basis, motive, evidence or reason” and made to “harass.” He demanded she be ordered to pay his legal fees for filing a “frivolous” lawsuit.

Taylor’s lawyer said, “[Shumpert], who wants to claim that he is a victim of salacious insults, neglects to inform the Court that while [Taylor] was having a conversation with the minor children, it was [Shumpert] who ripped an iPad from the parties’ oldest child to start a venomous argument with [Taylor] for no apparent reason.”

Taylor said she has tried to coparent but Shumert “for whatever reason … remains mad … for no apparent reason.”

The entertainer also denied Shumpert’s reputation was damaged by any claims she made in court.

Taylor included a series of alleged messages she exchanged with Shumpert as evidence. In one alleged note, dated April 17, Taylor wrote, “Iman, you’re gonna stop disrespecting me. I’m nothing but respectful and graceful. You continue to gaslight me!!!”

She added, “You’re so bitter and clearly can’t seem to get out of your emotions! This is draining!!! You keep throwing stones and hiding your hands! YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL VICTIM. Leave me the hell alone PLEASE!!!!”

Taylor continued, “Enjoy your time with the kids and stop worrying about me! IM BEGGING YOU! WE HAVE NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT BEYOND TRYING TO BE THE BEST PARENTS WE CAN BE.”

Shumpert allegedly replied, “You keep trying to text first and be professional after you crash out. It’s getting tired.”

“I do nothing but have your back when it comes to our children no matter how much of a fool you make of yourself!” Taylor responded.

The court has yet to rule on the matter.
