AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian came under fire after attending the Los Angeles Lakers game on Saturday, May 13. During the outing, where she was joined by her eldest daughter North West, the SKIMS founder could be seen visibly showing support for Khloe Kardashian's ex Tristan Thompson.
In pictures that circulated online, Kim could be seen sitting courtside with North beside her. "The Kardashians" star and her mini-me were also photographed holding a huge sign that read "Tristan Thompson" in purple and gold coloring.
In response to the snaps, social media users quickly put Kim on blast over her public support for Tristan, who infamously cheated on Khloe multiple times. "Let's cheer on the repeat cheating on our sister offender. This family," one person sarcastically wrote. Another fan said, "It's so weird to me how Kim K can continue cheering for Tristan after the way this man has dogged tf out her sister. It could never be me boii."
A third user insinuated that the mom of four is obsessed with the Canadian athlete, who shares daughter True and son Tatum with Khloe. "The man doesn't even play… what is Kim's obsession with Tristan? When has she ever gone this hard for any of her sister's exes?" the user questioned. Similarly, another person commented, "I like Kim but the way she champions Tristan is so f**king weird."
Khloe found out that Tristan, who was previously involved in scandal with Kylie Jenner's now-former BFF Jordyn Woods, cheated on her when she was just days away from giving birth to True. Of the infidelity, Kim revealed on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" that things were "just so f**ked up."
"We really were rooting for Khloe and we still are," she said at the time. "She's so strong and she's doing the best that she can."
Khloe and Tristan, however, reconciled during COVID-19 pandemic and conceived their second child via surrogate in November 2021. However, Tristan was once again hit with cheating allegations after a woman named Maralee Nichols filed a lawsuit against the basketball player, noting that he's the father of her son Theo.
Nichols claimed their baby was conceived on the NBA player's 30th birthday in March 2021 when he was allegedly engaged to Khloe. Tristan initially denied the claims but then he confirmed that Theo is his son following a DNA test.
