The Kardashians has aired the dramatic fallout from Tristan Thompson’s paternity scandal last year in the latest episode of the show, which saw Kim Kardashian break the news to sister Khloe.
While Khloe has said throughout the inaugural season of the Hulu show that she was in a great place with the NBA player, she now learns that he cheated on her yet again.
Khloe twice reconciled with the 31-year-old basketball player after past cheating scandals, but the family learnt of the paternity lawsuit filed by Maralee Nichols in the latest instalment of the Disney+ show.
Before the dramatic scenes, Khloe said: “At this moment in my life, everything is in a really good place right now,” as she celebrated the fifth anniversary of her clothing brand Good American.
But at the end of the episode, the Hulu camera crew were seen scrambling to Kim's home gym in the early hours of the morning, aware something serious was unfolding.
Kim was seen talking on the phone with mum Kris Jenner about Tristan's paternity lawsuit, in which he admitted to sleeping with a woman, later revealed to be Houston-based personal trainer Nichols, on his 30th birthday.
Kim told her mum Kris she sent the paperwork to Tristan, demanding to know if Khloe was aware, before she called sisters Kylie and Kourtney.
As Kylie picked up the phone, she initially accused Kim of “lying” about the news, before Kim said: “No I'm not. I'm shaking for her. My soul dies for her. She's not awake and what's so crazy is he wrote a whole declaration.”
Kylie then asked: “Is Tristan like the worst person on the planet?”
Kim read out the paternity suit filing paperwork, before saying: “He's saying he slept with her. “He's asking for a paternity test and admitting he had sex with her. Khloe threw him his 30th birthday, so he went home from the 30th birthday party, went to Houston to play on the road and then slept with this girl.”
Kourtney described the revelations as “insane” and “never-ending betrayal” from Tristan.
Kim replied: “The whole thing that's so sad is she wants a baby boy and now this girl is having a f***ing baby boy. A random he sleeps with one night. I was so team him.”
Kylie replied: “She doesn't' deserve this. This has to be the final sign.”
When Kim finally managed to get hold of Khloe, after having sent her the paperwork, Khloe asked over the phone: “What the f*** is this?” before the episode ended.
In the preview for the following episode, the family is show reacting to the drama, as Khloe admits to sister Kendall that she was left “so anxious” she “fainted”.
Khloe is heard saying in a voiceover as the famous family shoot their promo photos for The Kardashians: “I wanted to believe that Tristan could change. I wanted to trust him.”
Nichols had claimed that their child, who was born in December 2021, was conceived on Tristan's 30th birthday on March 13.
The NBA player flew with his team the Boston Celtics to Houston on the 13th, for a game against the Houston Rockets on the 14th, with the child reportedly conceived that night.
A paternity test confirmed he was the father, his third child along with three-year-old daughter True with Khloe and five-year-old son Prince with ex Jordan Craig.
The Kardashians is available to stream on Disney+.
