Jeannie Mai has just responded to her estranged husband Jeezy’s petition for divorce. TMZ reports that Jeannie’s actions will have a huge effect on their prenup and how the former couple’s assets could be shared out.

According to legal documents, TMZ said that Jeannie had made claims about Jeezy’s conduct during their marriage. Jeannie’s lawyer wrote that the rapper’s wife reserved the right to amend Jeezy’s counterclaim to add other grounds for divorce. This basically means that Jeannie could legally add new reasons for the couple’s marriage breaking down.
Jeannie Mai’s Lawyer Said She Doesn’t Want to Say More Right Now
However, her lawyer went on to write that Jeannie does not want to specify her reasons at this time. She is still hoping that the matter can be resolved without having to disclose anything publicly. Later in the document, Jeannie’s lawyer recommended that the court enforces Paragraph 8 of their prenuptial agreement. This paragraph is related to any romantic or emotional relationship that either party got involved in. This includes any suggestive communication made with a third party over texts, DMs or social media — and it could result in a significant financial penalty for what Jeannie’s lawyer called the adulterous party.
However, the document did not make any direct accusations about Jeezy. Just a day earlier, Jeezy came out with a statement about Jeannie. He made claims about the way Jeannie was acting regarding the couple’s daughter, Monaco, amid the divorce proceedings. Page Six reported that the “Put On” rapper had filed a motion requesting a temporary hearing. This was regarding custody of the couple’s almost two-year-old daughter, who they welcomed in January 2022.
Jeezy Has Been Making Claims About Custody Arrangements
Jeezy claimed in court documents that since he filed for divorce this September, Monaco had been temporarily residing in Los Angeles with Jeannie.He went on to claim that he and Jeannie had been working to address custodial arrangements on an informal basis. While they had agreed upon a temporary visitation schedule, Jeezy’s legal team felt this informal approach was unfeasible going forward.
Jeezy said in the motion that the lack of consistency and stability in their parenting schedule was becoming stressful for Monaco. The 46-year-old added that the arrangement was causing unnecessary tension and confusion. The rapper also stated that he did not believe that Jeannie was acting maliciously, but that she had acted as a gatekeeper when it came to sharing parenting time with Jeezy.

Shortly after the divorce filing, a source talked to Page Six about how Jeannie had been coping. At that time, Jeannie still wanted her marriage to work and wanted her family to be one solid unit. The source added that Jeannie still deeply loves Jeezy, and that getting divorced wasn’t part of the plan for her.
However, in Jeezy’s filing, he stated that the marriage is irretrievably broken, with no hope of reconciliation. Right before the filing was made public, he posted on Instagram that he was too focused on who he was becoming to focus on who’s not coming with him.
