According to recently released court documents, Teyana Taylor filed for divorce from Iman Shumpert back in January, eight months prior to the couple announcing their separation on Instagram.

The documents allege that Shumpert became increasingly jealous and controlling as Taylor’s career took off. He reportedly did not want her to work and often made her feel like she had to “dim her light” in order to keep the peace in their marriage.

Taylor also accuses Shumpert of emotional and mental abuse, stating that he would often treat her cruelly and display “extreme narcissistic behavior throughout the majority of their marriage.” She also claims that Shumpert would get annoyed at public events when photographers would ask him to step aside for solo photos of Teyana.

Despite her best efforts to save the marriage, Taylor says that Shumpert’s behavior ultimately became too much for her to handle. She describes their relationship as an “emotional rollercoaster” that she could no longer bear.

These new details shed light on the underlying issues that led to Taylor and Shumpert’s separation. It remains to be seen how these allegations will affect their co-parenting relationship and the future of their family.

Here are some additional details from the court documents:

• Taylor and Shumpert have two children together, a daughter and a son.
• Taylor is requesting primary custody of the children, with Shumpert having visitation rights.
• Taylor is also requesting spousal support from Shumpert.
