Khloe’s Valentine’s Heartbreak: Looking Back At Jordyn & Tristan’s Cheating Scandal 1 Year Later
Feb. 13 2020, Updated 5:12 p.m. ET
It’s been one year since the world was rocked by Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson’s cheating scandal. As RadarOnline.com readers recall, the NBA star was caught hooking up with Kylie Jenner’s then-best friend at a party in his house, while he was still dating Khloé Kardashian.
The incident took place in February 2019, just 10 months after Tristan, 28, and Khloé’s baby girl, True Thompson, was born, and about one year after the basketball pro was photographed cheating on the reality star, 35, with a string of women.
At the time of the first infidelity drama, Khloé was pregnant with True, now 1. The two rekindled their romance, but broke things off again after Tristan’s second scandal.
When news first broke of Tristan and Jordyn’s rendezvous, the Cleveland Cavaliers star tweeted, “Fake news.” Just moments later, however, he deleted the tweet and came clean to his baby mama.
“Tristan admitted it!” Khloé said in an explosive episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians following the drama.
In March 2019, Jordyn — who up until then had been radio-silent — went on Jada Pinkett Smith's Facebook Watch series "Red Table Talk" to address the reports. The model, 22, broke down crying while speaking of the incident, but admitted she did kiss Tristan at the bash.
“Never once was I giving him a lap dance or making out with him,” she insisted. “It was just an innocent time.”
“He did kiss me” she added. “It was a kiss on the lips, but not a tongue kiss.”
Truth Or Lie?
Jordyn also took a lie detector test on the show and answered, “No,” when asked if she slept with Tristan.
Excuses?
Explaining her actions, Jordyn said she was very drunk and did not know what she was doing. She also claimed that the next day, when she woke up sober in Kylie’s home, she lied to Khloé about the news because she did not want to “hurt her.”
Kardashians Attack
After the interview aired, Khloé called her former friend a “liar” and accused her of breaking up her family! Then, in a wild episode of KUWTK that aired in June 2019, she and her sisters criticized the way Jordyn handled the scandal, saying she tried to lie her way out of it instead of taking responsibility for her actions.
Web Of Lies
“I talked to Jordyn,” Khloé told sisters Kim and Kourtney over the phone in one episode. “She's not giving me all the information. She was like, 'He was trying to kiss me,' and was like, 'I can't remember if we did or didn’t.’"
Later, after speaking to Jordyn again, Khloé said: “So, Jordyn said that they did make out.”
“She was like, 'I love you. My loyalty is always to you,’" the Revenge Body star added. “For Jordyn to know all I've been through with Tristan — literally, my heart is in my eyeballs.”
“Yeah, that's how I feel right now,” Kylie, 22, responded
Friendship Over
Readers know that after the scandal, the cosmetics mogul kicked Jordyn out of the home they shared and cut her out of her company and her life.
“Tristan already knew what was up and there was nothing else he could do but confirm it,” Khloé said in a show confessional. “And I got my questions answered. I was getting more details — that everyone left and Jordyn still stayed. That she was sitting on his lap in a chair, they were all over each other, they were handsy, they made out. It's disgusting.”
Too Late To Say Sorry?
Weeks later, Jordyn said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that “of course” she was “sorry and apologetic,” but she had to move on.
She has since channeled her energy into other projects, including modeling gigs and music video appearances. Kylie, meanwhile, admitted in a KUWTK episode that she’s better off without Jordyn.
While Khloé eventually forgave Jordyn, she and her family cut her off for good.
The blonde bombshell is still close to her baby daddy, however, as she insists on maintaining a peaceful co-parenting relationship.
Back On?
As readers know, Tristan has been trying to win Khloé back with lavish gifts and flirty social media compliments. He even bought her a massive diamond promise ring! And while Khloé has told fans that there’s nothing romantic between the two, sources have told RadarOnline.com otherwise.
Hopeless Romantic
“She was all over him at the Christmas party, and he’s really playing into it by leading her on and flirting the whole time until they eventually spent the night together,” a source close to the former lovebirds exclusively told RadarOnline.com.
“But the fact is that he still sees her as a booty call while she’s totally in love with the guy and wants him back, period,” the insider added. “It’s only going to end one way eventually.”
