Taylor alleges Walker withdrew significant funds from their joint account without consent

Taylor filed the complaint Wednesday, stating that she and Walker mutually decided to split the assets they earned from their influencer business. They also faced other unresolved financial matters stemming from their 2021 breakup, according to court documents obtained by The Jasmine Brand.

In the court documents, Taylor alleges that Walker wrongfully withdrew large amounts of money from their joint account without her consent. They later sought a business lawyer to assist them with their finances during their separation.

Both Taylor and Walker became popular on social media with their YouTube Channel, De’arra and Ken 4 Life. They had more than 3.6 million subscribers on the video-sharing platform.

While they earned money through YouTube, brand partnerships, and other business ventures, Taylor claims in the lawsuit that Walker failed to uphold his end of the agreement.

Did Walker misuse funds from their joint account?

According to the suit, Taylor insists that she deserves more money due to her continued contributions to the channel amid the issues they faced during their relationship. She also confirmed that she deposited her own money through personal brand deals into their joint account.

Taylor stated that the pair agreed to keep $80,000 in their joint account for business, and that they agreed to Taylor retaining their truck after paying it off and splitting the profits from a $40,000 loan. However, she claims nearly all the joint account funds allegedly vanished within a year, per The Jasmine Brand.

Taylor alleges Walker misused nearly all funds from their joint account. Walker allegedly said they were for “medical bills”, but she disputes those claims, asserting the withdrawals occurred before any documented medical expenses.

Additionally, she accused him of failing to pay his share of a $40,000 truck loan and neglecting business tax obligations, allegedly forcing her to cover the costs. While Walker cited financial hardship, Taylor questioned those claims, alluding to the luxury posts he shared on social media.

In the lawsuit, Taylor is demanding restitution, her share of the truck loan payment, and reimbursement for business taxes Walker owed but allegedly failed to pay.
