Tristan Thompson's newest baby mama Maralee Nichols is warning against imposters after a DNA test proved the NBA player is the father of her one-month-old son.
The Texas trainer spiraled into fame in December after her relationship and pregnancy with Tristan were exposed. While he fought like hell and claimed he was "skeptical" the baby was his, paternity results say otherwise.
Now, Maralee is experiencing the downside of finding herself in the spotlight.
The mom of one took to her social media on Tuesday, hours after Tristan copped to being her baby daddy, and warned her followers against imposters. Several Instagram pages have been popping up, claiming to either be Maralee or friends and family of the trainer.
One, in particular, claimed to be Maralee's cousin, who threatened to expose all.
Posting a screenshot from one page claiming to be the fitness guru, Tristan's third baby mama wrote, "THIS IS A FAKE ACCOUNT!" while encouraging her followers to "PLEASE REPORT."
She reiterated that her only Instagram account is @maraleenichols.
Maralee wasn't done there. Tristan's flame also put her alleged cousin on blast, claiming the imposter wasn't a relative at all. The account @maraleenicole.fakee promises to "expose every fake page" and blog "running fake news for click bait [sic]." The person also alleges they are "damage control."
Maralee says that's not the case.
Not only is Tristan's baby mama not related to the person running the profile, but Maralee says she doesn't even know who the imposter is.
Sharing the page with her followers, she once again made it clear: "THIS IS A FAKE ACCOUNT! PLEASE REPORT!"
Maralee then went on to explain, "THIS IS NOT MY COUSIN OR ANYONE I KNOW." The fake profiles have multiplied since Tristan released his statement after finding out her son is his.
"Today, paternity test results revealed that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols," Tristan wrote on Monday night. "I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established, I look forward to amicably raising our son."
He continued, "I sincerely apologize to everyone I've hurt or disappointed throughout this ordeal both publicly and privately." As for Maralee, she never had any doubt who her son's daddy is.
