Iman Shumpert might be biting his tongue a little today. Earlier it was reported that Shumpert was claiming the show Empire was biting off him and his girlfriend Teyanna Taylor. Now Shumpert is taking it back.
“Fans of the show and friends have told us on many occasions that couple favors us but we do not all feel that our lives are being copied/stolen.”
Shumpert continues, “I apologize to the actors on the show because they’re just being professionals and don’t deserve slander that’s not what I was trying to portray and I have to be more careful with my choice of words.”
“I do not appreciate the writer using his questions with my answers to draw quotes like I was making these elaborate answers but that’s the media. The writer took a 2-3 min convo of locker room talk after a GREAT TEAM WIN and made it look like a sit down interview and it wasn’t.”
“He twisted words to get the point that he wanted to get across. This is not that serious and though we don’t watch the show we are not against it.”
Sounds like Shump won’t be talking to that guy anymore.
