According to court documents obtained by the media outlet, Shekinah claimed her esthetician business suffered while she supported Sarper's traveling stand-up comedy career.
Shekinah reportedly documented that she had traveled to Turkey every two months for two years before Sarper's U.S. visa was approved -- and that it was expensive for her. She alleged that each of her visits lasted for roughly three weeks.

Shekinah said she had to close her facial studio when she wasn't in the United States and so her business reported a net loss of $51,000.
Sarper, meanwhile, reportedly made big money with his comedy act.
Shekinah said their joint federal tax return shows that Sarper grossed over $280,000, including $180,000 of net profit.
Shekinah filed for divorce from Sarper on September 28, 2026, citing irreconcilable differences.
"Filing for divorce was not a decision I made lightly or without heartbreak, but I've reached a point of no return," Shekinah told TMZ at the time.

"I'm choosing to let go with love, grieve what I believed we could have been, and begin moving forward with my life."
Shekinah said she and Sarper had tied the knot on November 11, 2024, and then separated on September 22, 2026.
On the same day as their alleged separation, Shekinah posted a scathing statement about her split from Sarper on Instagram, claiming Sarper was pushing a false narrative.

Shekinah wrote in part on Instagram that Sarper had chosen "the single life" while she remained "faithful" to him, although Sarper claimed on 90 Day: The Last Resort's Season 3 Tell All that he hadn't dated or hooked up with any women since his split from Shekinah.

"[One time] I had been crying five minutes before he walked on stage [for his comedy routine], I was expected to sit there where he could see me and laugh along at jokes about me and our marriage because he needed me to laugh at them," Shekinah wrote.
Shekinah claimed that Sarper was "a very different" person with her behind closed doors.
"He would stay cooped up in the dark all day, doom-scrolling on his phone, easily irritated with me, impatient, cold and uininterested in talking or spending any time together outside of having sex," Shekinah alleged.
Shekinah said being alone with her husband became "unbearable" and she felt pressure to be "perfect" and "flawless" all the time.
"My emotions were an inconvenience to him. He had zero patience with me... I wondered why complete strangers were getting the version of my husband that I desperately wanted too," Shekinah noted, adding how Sarper made their marriage "the punchline" in his comedy routine.

Shekinah said Sarper made her feel like "an object" and it was "degrading" to her. She also claimed he kicked her off his tour once in 2025 and she returned to Los Angeles feeling utterly alone
"Sometimes [I was] only seeing him for a couple days out of the month," Shekinah said.
"I was very lonely, I felt abandoned. I finally left that painful reminder of his absence by moving to Miami to start a fresh chapter with my daughter who was starting college there."

On 90 Day: The Last Resort's Tell All, Sarper claimed that Shekinah had abruptly moved to Miami without him and immediately asked for thousands of dollars in order to support herself there. Sarper insinuated that her greed ultimately ended their marriage.
"He came to see me a few times in Miami. I'd hear things about him being on dating apps, being seen with girls, all while I had him in my phone asking to meet up with me," Shekinah argued in her Instagram post, adding how their relationship had become "a situationship."
Shekinah wrapped up her message by apologizing to her daughter for having to heal from another failed relationship.
"I hope someday when you choose a partner, you choose the exact opposite of what you watched me accept," Shekinah wrote. "I hope you never let someone who couldn't love you properly convince you that you're difficult to love."
Sarper, for his part, also posted about his breakup with Shekinah on September 22 via Instagram.
"I don't want to attack her or speak badly about her online, regardless of what has been said about me, talked sh*t about me, and tried to drag me down. Whatever happened between us happened, and I don't want to turn four years of memories into an online war," Sarper wrote in part.
But Sarper attempted to "make one thing clear" by writing, "Despite what she has claimed, I never chose fame or money over her. I wish we could have found peace together."

Sarper also insisted the pair had been separated for at least eight months since the beginning of 2026.
"And neither of us sees ourselves as married anymore. In my heart and in my mind, I am SINGLE now," Sarper said.
"Until I reached that point, I was 100% loyal to her. But when I finally took off my ring and, as painful as it was, took her out of that place in my heart, I started living my life as a SINGLE person."
In addition, Sarper said he really loved Shekinah and was still hurting from their split.
