Police Called to Iman Shumpert’s Home

Things got tense at Iman Shumpert’s Atlanta home in the early hours of November 26th when police were called to the scene. A report indicates a heated dispute occurred between the former NBA player and a woman, leading to a police investigation.

Conflicting Accounts Emerge

The woman involved, identified as Joanna Donnejour, told officers that Shumpert had hit her. However, a witness present at the home disputed this claim. Police arrived at the residence around 4:37 a.m. and observed Shumpert placing a suitcase outside.

According to Donnejour, the argument began in Shumpert’s room, involving her, Shumpert, and another woman.

Body camera footage captured her questioning the legality of this action and expressing her desire to press charges.

Conversely, another woman at the scene informed the police that Shumpert had asked Donnejour to leave twice. This witness stated that Shumpert only grabbed Donnejour’s wrist to escort her out and that it wasn’t done aggressively.
