Distraught Khloé: “Who else has Tristan betrayed me with?”
As the father of her child is accused of cheating with her close friend, Khloé Kardashian is terrified about more secrets being exposed
She forgave him when he cheated on her just days before she gave birth to their daughter, True, last April. But last week, Khloé Kardashian was said to have finally cut ties with Tristan Thompson after it emerged the basketball star had been unfaithful with Jordyn Woods, the best pal of Khloé’s younger sister, Kylie Jenner.
Eyewitnesses claimed Tristan, 27 – who also reportedly spent Valentine’s Day flirting with girls at a bar in LA – was “making out” with Jordyn at a party at his home days later, with the pair “all over each other” while she sat on his lap. Some insiders claimed the pair had been secretly seeing each other for a month.
DEVASTATED
Now, insiders reveal Khloé, 34 – who is said to have considered Jordyn, 21, to be like a little sister, and even attended her 21st birthday party with Tristan last September – is devastated he could stoop so low, and terrified about what further revelations could emerge.
A source says, “Khloé was so hurt when she found out about Tristan’s behaviour, and feels humiliated that it’s all come out in the press. She knows Tristan behaved badly in the past, but didn’t think he’d publicly humiliate her again. She can’t understand how either of them could betray her like that. She loved Jordyn, and considered her a part of the family.”
Hours after news emerged of his alleged infidelity with Jordyn, Tristan seemed to deny the claims, Tweeting “Fake news”, before deleting the post.
But as Closer went to press, Khloé’s best friend, Malika Haqq, 35, appeared to confirm the news by posting “these hoes ain’t loyal” on her Instagram Story, and “strong words” on an Instagram screenshot of the news story. Meanwhile, Khloé liked a Tweet that called Jordyn a “terrible woman” and Tristan a “sick man”.
The ordeal marks one of the biggest Kardashian betrayals, with Jordyn being a close family friend for years. She has appeared in episodes of their reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and Khloé even gave Jordyn a leg-up in the fashion world, asking her to model for her Good American clothing line in 2016 – though last week she removed Jordyn as one of the models from the Good American website.
Jordyn even lived with Kylie and also starred in her reality show, Life Of Kylie, with the latter dubbing her “auntie Jordyn” while talking to her one-year-old daughter Stormi.
TORN
And sources say that Kylie – who appeared to slash the price of her “Jordy” lipstick after the scandal and was reported to have thrown Jordyn out of her home – is now torn over how to handle the fallout, especially with sisters, Kourtney, 39, Kim, 38, and Khloé all unfollowing Jordyn on Instagram.
The insider says, “Kylie feels split over the whole thing. She’s heartbroken for Khloé, but also doesn’t like seeing Jordyn being trolled on social media. Her sisters are putting pressure on her to cut ties with Jordyn, and she doesn’t want to fall out with them. They say blood is thicker than water, but it’s hard for Kylie, as she considered Jordyn family, too. Her mum Kris is also livid with Jordyn, but understands why Kylie feels conflicted. It’s just a devastating situation all-round, and something none of them could have ever predicted.”
Tristan hit the headlines last April when he was pictured kissing a woman in a bar while Khloé was days from giving birth to True. The reality star took him back, telling trolls who criticised her, “You have no knowledge of what goes on in our household, or the enormous rebuilding this takes to even coexist. I’m proud of my strength.”
But insiders reveal that, after this shock, Khloé – whose ex-husband, sports star Lamar Odom, 39, also admitted to cheating on her throughout their four-year marriage – is now scared about who to trust. But
❛ SHE KNOWS HE BEHAVED BADLY IN THE PAST, BUT DIDN’T THINK HE’D HUMILIATE HER AGAIN ❜
she is determined to move on, with True’s interests as her priority.
The source reveals, “Khloé is traumatised by the revelations, and is terrified that more of Tristan’s antics will come out. She’s telling her sisters that she’s paranoid more stories about Tristan’s infidelities – with possibly even more of her friends – could be leaked. She doesn’t know who to trust. She’s trying to stay positive for True’s sake, and focus on being a mum.
SEPARATE WAYS
“She now realises Tristan won’t change and, while she can’t cut him out of her life completely, she knows it’s best they go their separate ways. This betrayal was the final straw because Khloé now feels she’s been stabbed in the back by two people she loved.”
