Jeannie Mai is clapping back at her ex-husband Jeezy, even claiming the Snowman stepped out on their marriage.
TMZ exclusively reports that Jeannie Mai is finally responding to Jeezy’s divorce petition and is letting off some serious claims, insinuating that the rapper violated their prenuptial agreement.
Per TMZ:
According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Jeannie more than insinuates her estranged husband is guilty of infidelity. Her lawyer writes, “Wife reserves the right to amend this counterclaim to add other grounds for divorce, but which Wife does not wish to specify herein at this time in the hope this matter can be resolved without having to disclose such conduct publicly.”
But, it gets even more pointed … “Wife further shows that the Court should enforce Paragraph 8 of the Prenuptial Agreement regarding infidelity which provides, in pertinent part, that in the event that either party engages in sexual relations, an emotional relationship, or is emotionally or sexually suggestive in communication with a third party via all forms of electronic communications, including but not limited to texting, sexting, Facetiming, social media and/or Direct Messages, shall result in a significant financial penalty upon the adulterous party …”
In simple terms, Mai is definitely accusing the “Put On” rapper of cheating, and his pockets will be touched, but the docs do not go into detail in terms of revealing who Jeezy allegedly cheated on Mai with.
Jeannie Mai’s Claims Could Be A Response To Cheating Allegations Against Her
These latest claims come on the heels of reports that Jeannie Mai allegedly cheated on Jeezy with her with Access Hollywood host Mario Lopez. A source close to Mai called those claims BS, according to TMZ.
Jeezy has also put out there that Mai possibly cheated on him after dropping his latest project, I Might Forgive … But I Don’t Forget, which just so happens to feature a song titled “Don’t Cheat.”
There was also that interview with Nia Long where the rapper and actress talked about cheating.
Hmm, we shall see how this plays out.

It seems Iman Shumpert did not stick to the script with regards to his divorce. Reports say Teyana Taylor is not happy he made it public.
According to TMZ the Harlem, New York native had intended to keep their legal separation as private as possible. But according to the celebrity gossip site the former National Basketball League star chose to declare their status which was the opposite of what Taylor had in mind. In January she aimed to keep their initial divorce proceedings secret; so much so she even signed the documents with just her initials to avoid the media picking up the story. While the K.T.S.E. performer has yet to comment on the matter her lawyer Tanya Mitchell makes it clear Shumpert exposed their situation.
“We were able to keep this divorce matter private as Ms. Taylor requested for eleven (11) months in this case prior to Mr. Shumpert’s MOTION revealing the parties’ legal names and making the private matter public” she wrote in a recent filing. “This matter would very likely still be private if Mr. Shumpert’s MOTION TO SUBSTITUTE TRUE LEGAL NAMES AS REAL PARTIES IN INTEREST was not filed …” she added.
Last week more details behind their split were uncovered with Teyana accusing Iman of some very toxic behavior including being jealous of her career. To the point she “began to intentionally dim her light for her husband to try to have a harmonious and peaceful marriage” as he “became more and more angry” about her celebrity. She also claims she stuck with him through all the ups and downs but he still “reacted with further cruel treatment and selfishness.”
The estranged couple were married in 2016 and have two children together. Teyana is seeking primary custody along with child support.

After being banned by the Snowman, oops, we mean hit with a gut punch after Jeezy filed for divorce, Jeannie Mai is taking a much-needed break from social media “to heal.”
Spotted on Page Six, the former co-host of The Real is putting her mental health front and center following her shocking divorce from Jeezy.
The television host announced her break with a photo of a handwritten note with the message, “Sometimes, you need to take a break and disconnect, to heal,” with just a black heart emoji in the caption on her Instagram account.
Mai’s announcement comes after Page Six exclusively learned from a source that she was “devastated” by Jeezy putting their union on ice.
Per Page Six:
“The truth is Jeannie wants her marriage to work and wants her family to be one solid unit,” the insider said.
“Even though Jeezy has filed, Jeannie is holding out hope that he would be willing to sit down and works things [out]. She is hoping for a resolution and wants to remain as a united family unit.”
The Jeezy/Mai union ended after the 46-year-old “Put On” crafter filed for divorce on September 15, after two years of what everyone assumed to be a happy marriage.
Jeannie Mai & Jeezy Were Separated Before The Divorce
In court documents obtained by Page Six, the rapper, born Jay Jenkins, said he and Mai were already separated at the time, noting that their marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
Jeezy also seeks joint custody of the now-former couple’s 1-year-old daughter Monaco.
According to TMZ, Mai and Jeezy are reportedly still living together while being separated for the sake of their child.
The celebrity gossip site reports that they barely interact with each other even though they still live under the same roof.
While Mai struggles mentally, Jeezy seems to enjoy his newfound “freedom” and promoting his book while posting cryptic messages on social media.
Maybe there is still room for some reconciliation.

Legendary Hip-Hop star MC Lyte will walk away from her marriage to entrepreneur and former Marine John Wyche with her music catalog intact.
The couple split in 2020 after marrying three years earlier. The divorce was finalized this week, according to Blavity.
Lyte, whose real name is Lana Michele Moorer, leaves the marriage with full ownership of her music catalog after it was deemed protected under the couple’s prenup agreement.
She will also retain ownership of other creative property, including royalties connected to her creative works and everything she owned prior to the marriage—those items include “jewelry, watches, and personal effects in her possession, custody, or control, and earnings and accumulations before the date of marriage, during the marriage, and post-separation, her Subaru, financial accounts in her name, all furniture, furnishings, and other personal property in her possession, custody, or control. She also gets to keep her term life insurance policy.”
Additionally, Wyche will not receive spousal support.
The couple met on Match.com and split due to “irreconcilable differences.”
In an appearance on The Real in February 2022, Lyte shared that divorce is a difficult process, saying, “You get to a point where you’re like, this isn’t working. It doesn’t matter. What really matters is that we end up in a happy place.”
“It’s hard in the beginning, but you realize to have happiness doesn’t mean you have to remain together, and it doesn’t mean that you are a failure because the marriage failed. It’s all ego. You just have to be able to let go.”

In the caption for one of the videos Ray J shared while taking us on a tour of the insanely large hotel suite, he wrote in the captain, “HAD TO GET MY WIFE BACK AND START FRESH. I LOVE MY FAMILY!! Ill FIGHT OVER AND OVER FOR LIFE FOR MY FAMILY AND KIDS!! – Ill PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE FOR MY CHILDREN TO BE HAPPY AND SAFE AND CLOSE TO ME 24/7!!! GOD IS ALWAYS WORKING!!”
In another video, Ray J expresses how happy he is to see his kids happy while they are celebrating with performers wearing Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story costumes.
Ray J’s Past Behavior Was Worrying Fans
The reality star had fans worried recently with his behavior leaving cryptic messages hinting at him considering self-harm while galavanting around with Kanye West and known racists.
He recently called out Tyrese for being salty about Eddie Murphy’s Will Smith Golden Globes joke.
So it’s relieving to see Ray J in good spirits right now because it wasn’t looking good.
We also hope Ray and Princess Love can work things out for the sake of their children.
