After yet another cheating scandal, Keeping Up With The Kardashians fans are suggesting that Tristan Thompson routinely plays Khloe Kardashian better than he plays basketball. Tristan currently plays for the Sacramento Kings. When Tristan's first cheating scandals surfaced, he was frustrated with how the personal drama affected his reputation at work. It's far from unheard-of for NBA stars to cheat on their spouses or athletes in general, but even Scott Disick kept an arguably lower profile when he cheated on Kourtney Kardashian.
At this point, Tristan is far more famous for cheating on Khloe than playing basketball. A video of Tristan kissing two women at a club was released days before Khloe gave birth to True in April 2018. Then, in 2019, Tristan kissed Kylie Jenner's former best friend Jordyn Woods on Valentine's Day. Finally, in 2021, Sydney Chase claimed she and Tristan were hooking up in April 2021. When Tristan accused her of lying, Sydney hired Gloria Allred to fight Tristan's defamation case. Sydney shared screenshots of Khloe asking for a conversation to stay confidential, a request that Sydney didn't meet.
As of late, Tristan spent months in a messy legal battle where he attempted to discredit Maralee Nichols' claims that he fathered a son with her during his 30th birthday. This strategy is familiar, as he also initially tried to discredit Sydney. However, now that Tristan has come clean and owned up that the paternity test came back positive, fans are rolling their eyes once again. To add insult to injury, Tristan impregnated the Texas personal trainer on the same evening when Khloe threw him a birthday party and posted a public tribute regarding their mended relationship. As seen below, a KUWTK fan shared on Twitter: "Tristan Thompson be playing Khloe better than he plays his own damn sport."
This latest update is far from shocking, and Tristan's apology on Instagram was yet another insult to injury. While he shared that he had the utmost respect for Khloe, few words have rung hollower. Another fan wrote on Twitter, "I have never seen somebody hate another person the way Tristan Thompson truly hates Khloe Kardashian." Then again, Tristan's actions seem to tell a story of self-hatred more than anything. The endless cheating and casual impregnations also hint at someone trying to fill a void more deeply-seeded than any of his past hookups could fulfill. Fans felt the need to revisit the Jordyn Woods scandal and Khloe's attempt to blame Jordyn. Khloe's claimed she's full of forgiveness for Jordyn, but these recent events bring up old history. A Twitter user responded to Khloe's original post on Twitter, writing: "Hey @khloekardashian just circling back to this. Has Jordyn received an apology yet?" The tweet received 9,000 likes as of this writing.
Overall, fans think it's time for Khloe to hold Tristan accountable. While no one wants to see her go back to anger management or get physical with Tristan, her trauma seems highly misplaced in insecurity rather than asking for accountability. Khloe seems to blame herself, which she doesn't have to. Right now, Keeping Up With The Kardashians fans are tired of seeing Khloe get played.
