Responding to a troll’s ‘false’ assertion that she and Tristan Thompson had an affair, Maralee Nichols defended herself by striking back
The media personality, who is the mother of the NBA star’s two-year-old son Theo, retaliated against the anonymous commenter in a comment that she later removed from her most recent Instagram photo set.
The influential person texted up, “I was assuredly not a one-night stand” in response. You are making a false and defamatory accusation against me.
In a figure-hugging, backless golden gown, Nichols posed for a photo and video. With her long locks falling softly past her shoulders in delicate waves, she accessorized the ensemble with open-toed heels.
‘December is my favorite month✨ Sagittarius season and Christmas,’ the fitness model stated to her followers in the post.
In December 2021, Maralee welcomed Theo into the world. Notably, she sued the basketball pro for child support, which led to a paternity dispute involving both of them.
Not shortly after he and Khloe Kardashian became pregnant with their second child via a surrogate, in January 2022, the athlete declared that he was the father of Theo.
Tristan admitted his infidelity to the TV host and said, “I take full responsibility for my actions” in an Instagram story he posted at the time.
I am looking forward to parenting our son peacefully now that paternity has been confirmed. Whether it was in private or in public, I deeply regret any harm or disappointment I may have caused.
I don’t think you deserve this, Khloe, he continued. My pаin and shame have been too much for you, and you don’t deserve them.
My treatment of you over the years has been unfair, and you are not worthy of it. There is no doubt that my behavior has been at odds with my perception of you.
‘He told me he was single and co-parenting.’ Maralee broke her silence and spoke to E! News just before he apologized.
According to the mother-of-one, if she had known Tristan was in a relationship, she would never have gotten connected with him.
Additionally, she asserted that Thompson had promised her $75,000 to silence her regarding their son.
According to TMZ, Nichols and Thompson reached a paternity settlement in late December of last year, with the NBA player paying $9,500 monthly in child support to the mother of his boy.
It has been alleged that the sports star is not involved with the little boy’s life, and the media celebrity has sole custody of him.
Tatum, Tristan’s son with ex-girlfriend Khloe, is one year old, and his daughter True, who is five years old, is also a parent.
Additionally, he welcomed his eldest kid, Prince, who is six years old, with his ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig.
In October, Prince’s aunt Kai Cyre went on social media to accuse Thompson of not paying child support and of being an absentee father to the six-year-old.
She said that Tristan had long since ceased paying child support and had also stopped paying for Prince’s schooling.
As an additional point, Cyre mentioned that he “hasn’t even inquired where Prince goes to school now.”
Earlier this month, Maralee celebrated Theo’s second birthday with a train-themed party and posted a few photos on her Instagram stories.
As her small kid sported a train conductor’s hat, white shirt, and overalls, Nichols captured a charming snapshot of him in a single shot.
In yet another photo, Maralee embraced the child tenderly as he reached for the “Chugga Chugga Two Two” balloons that had been strung up on a wall.
The woman, who is a mother of one, added the words “Theo’s 2nd birthday” and a balloon emoji to the image’s bottom. But on Theo’s birthday, Tristan said nothing.
