Tristan Thompson – Won’t Meet Son Theo, Delays Financial Support
Another day, another baby mama drama scandal from Khloe Kardashian’s baby daddy Tristan Thompson. But the latest scandal does not involve Khloe. This time, the basketball pro sparked a backlash over his relationship with Maralee Nichols. Conceived last March, the estranged exes’ son Theo arrived in December. And ever since, Tristan battled in family court over neglecting to fulfill Maralee’s demands for financial support for Theo, reported OK magazine.
Thompson conceived Theo with Nichols just before renewing his romance with Khloe. But getting distracted with romancing Kardashian doesn’t exactly excuse his neglect to pay child support. And Maralee’s spokesperson made that clear.
“Tristan Thompson has done nothing to support his son,” stated Nichols’ representative, Harvey Englander. And Englander accused Tristan of failing to even meet the little boy or provide any type of financial support. However, in a letter dated on August 17, Thompson’s attorney defended his NBA pro playboy client. And the legal document claims Tristan has begun paying “child support to Ms. Nichols retroactive to the date she delivered the child.”

Kardashian – Fans Dub Tristan Thompson ‘Trashcan’
However, an insider revealed that Thompson has only paid money to support Theo. And he “made no attempt to meet his 8-month-old son, Theo,” added the source. As a result, Kardashian followers on Reddit rushed to slam Thompson, who they dubbed Trashcan.
For instance, one fan predicted, “Trashcan will want to meet [only if] his son is the 1st overall pick at the 2040 NBA draft.” And another opined, “The kid could be good without Trashcan around.” But one summed up the general consensus simply. “Trashcan is trash. Obviously.”
However, the timing couldn’t be worse. The scandal comes just after Tristan and Khloe welcomed their second baby. Born via surrogate, the little boy brought a sibling for their first child, True. And a source shared that Kardashian feels “on cloud nine. Getting a sibling for True has been such a journey.” Excited to become a mom for the second time, Khloe “really wanted a baby boy,” added the insider.
Tell us what you think. Do you agree with Kardashian fans who think that Trashcan seems like the perfect nickname for Tristan Thompson? And after you share your views, check back on our site for more celebrity news!
