Tristan Thompson Accused Of Pressuring Alleged Baby Mama To Get Abortion, Woman Ready To Submit Private Snapchat & Text Messages In Court
Dec. 3 2021, Published 1:34 p.m. ET
Tristan Thompson's alleged baby mama Maralee Nichols is ready to release a trove of Snapchat and text messages the NBA star sent to her — messages she believes will help her win in court.
According to court documents obtained by Radar, Maralee is asking the judge to allow her to submit the communications from Tristan as part of his lawsuit against her in Texas.
"Maralee has received numerous electronic messages such as Snapchats and other electronic communications from Tristan Thompson, which he now apparently denies sending despite the fact that his contact information is present in the messages," the filing reads.
Maralee is asking for permission to include them in her court filings. The two are fighting over where the paternity battle will take place. Maralee is from Texas but moved to California recently. She filed a lawsuit in California seeking child support.
A couple of weeks later, Tristan sued Maralee in Texas Court accusing her of moving to California to try and score a higher child support payment.
Maralee is fighting to have the Texas case dismissed. In hew new filing, she says Tristan is now trying to claim the text messages and Snapchat messages are not real.
In one message sent, Tristan told Maralee, "Btw if you think having this baby is gonna make you some money. It's completely wrong. You are aware that I'm retiring after this season. So in terms of support it will be whatever is required monthly for someone who's unemployed."
He added, "It's texas so it will be only a couple hundred dollars," noted the athlete. "So you better off taking this 75k I'm offering cause you won't get nothing near that with having a kid with a father who's unemployed."
In her filing, Marlee says, "It is also apparent from the context and substance of these communications that they are from Tristan to Maralee, which reflects that Tristan is addressing the parties’ relationship, and even with respect to her pregnancy insisting that she get an abortion and threatening that she will get next to nothing with lesser support requirements in Texas."
She says, "Tristan’s far-flung claim that he did not author these electronic communications from his account (presumably meaning that his account or cell phone was hijacked or hacked)" should not prohibit them from being entered as evidence in the case.
