American media personality, Khloe Kardashian has opened up about her feelings regarding her former boyfriend, Tristan Thompson’s paternity lawsuit.
This happened in the June 16 season finale of Hulu’s The Kardashians. In December 2021, Kardashian found out that the NBA star was expecting his third child after he was sued by Maralee Nichols for pregnancy and child-related expenses.
In his legal filings, Thompson acknowledged that he had slept with Maralee on his 30th birthday in March 2021. He was still in a relationship with Kardashian at the time. However, they split that June.
Throughout the episode, Kardashian was visibly upset. She expressed her pain in multiple confessionals and conversations with her family members including Kim, Kendall Jenner and Scott Disick. She said, “It’s time to walk away and I don’t feel guilty about it. I tried so hard.”
She told Kim, “You either wear a condom, get a vasectomy, or you don’t f–k random people that you meet in other states. It’s not like, rocket science.”
Kardashian explained that she found out about Thompson’s infidelity “with the rest of the world.” She said,
“A courtesy would be not doing it. But fine, if you do it, you’re not even going to give me a heads up before the rest of the world? It’s just an additional slap in my face. It’s humiliating. I’m embarrassed.”
She continued, “I’m replaying every event. Every grand gesture, and Every trip. Every date, and Every whatever. All of that was a lie. God, how were you able to not say something? I feel just not really in my own body. That these things are just happening. That I’m just going through the motions. But, I mean, when things happen to you a couple times, you do kind of become immune to them which is really sad.” (sic)
Kardashian stated, “I’m not sure that there’s one thing that hurts more than the other in a situation like this. Everything is an act of betrayal, and a lie. Everything is manipulation. It’s deceit. Did Tristan have every opportunity to tell me? Yes. Was Tristan going to tell me if there wasn’t a baby involved? Absolutely not and that shows a lot about his character. The entire thing is despicable.” (Sic)
Kardashian and Thompson have been in an on-and-off relationship since 2016. They share a daughter, True Thompson together.
