Police were called to the Atlanta home of former NBA star Iman Shumpert on November 26 after a woman claimed he struck her during a heated confrontation.
According to TMZ, officers arrived to find Shumpert placing a suitcase outside. He told police the woman, Joanna Donnejour, had been asked “several times” to leave his residence.
Body-cam footage shows Donnejour telling officers the dispute began in Shumpert’s bedroom over his communication with another woman. She alleged he dragged her by the wrist and foot toward the stairs before she called a ride and decided to press charges.
A second woman present at the home confirmed that an argument occurred but said Shumpert only held Donnejour by the wrist to escort her out, insisting he did not act aggressively. Officers noted no visible injuries, and no charges were filed due to insufficient evidence.
Before leaving, Donnejour told the Twenties actor:
“See you in court… and on Instagram in the morning.”
Shumpert later issued a statement giving his version of events:
“Last week, I had friends over and a visitor at my residence was politely asked to leave several times after I witnessed her damaging personal property. The police were called, invited inside and they spoke with multiple people who saw what happened. After assessing the situation, the police instructed her to leave repeatedly. She refused to vacate the property after being asked to leave multiple times and only after the officers escorted her outside did she eventually depart. This matter was quickly closed that night by the police after they did their investigation.”
