Overview

  • A final order entered August 5 finds Taylor in willful contempt for publicly disclosing terms of her 2024 divorce judgment in a March Instagram video and mandates payment of $70,000 in legal fees
  • Taylor’s request to hold Iman Shumpert in contempt for allegedly leaking sealed divorce documents was denied after the court ruled she presented insufficient evidence
  • Shumpert’s bid to sanction Taylor for violating their parenting plan was rejected when the judge determined her actions were not willfully contemptuous
  • The court reproached Taylor and her attorneys for failing to perform minimal diligence before filing their contempt petition and for refusing to answer questions about her assets and income
  • Both parties sought sanctions including potential jail sentences at the July 25 hearing, though Taylor withdrew her request to incarcerate Shumpert and no custodial penalties were imposed
