Khloé Kardashian: Tristan paternity scandal is ‘not fun’ to talk about
Khloé Kardashian admits she’s not comfortable talking about ex Tristan Thompson’s paternity lawsuit – but will do so for the sake of reality TV.
The Good American founder, 37, confirmed in a new Variety feature published Wednesday that the scandal will be addressed on her family’s upcoming Hulu show, “The Kardashians.”
“I wish I never had to talk about that because it’s not a fun thing to talk about,” Kardashian told the publication. “But it is part of my journey in life, so we will see it on the show.”
In December 2021, news broke that trainer Maralee Nichols sued Thompson, 30, for child support, claiming the Sacramento Kings player conceived a child with her in March of that year – therefore cheating on Kardashian.
Although Thompson initially denied the baby was his – and allegedly asked Nichols to get an abortion – he later admitted to fathering the child and apologized to Kardashian.
“I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably raising our son,” the athlete said in a statement in January.
“Khloé, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years.”
Aside from his affair with Nichols, Thompson previously cheated on Kardashian in 2018 while she was pregnant with their now-3-year-old daughter, True, and again in 2019 with Kylie Jenner’s then-BFF, Jordyn Woods.
The reality star dumped Thompson for good in June 2021 over allegations he had slept with model Sydney Chase.
Up until now, Kardashian had not addressed Thompson’s latest scandal publicly, but in true form, posted a cryptic message about “betrayal” on social media.
Her mother, Kris Jenner, also teased in a sneak peek for “The Kardashians” that their new show will feature “transformations” for all members of her family.
The series premieres April 14 on Hulu.
