Khloé Kardashian Responds to Jordyn Woods: ‘Why Are You Lying?’
It felt like the entire Internet tuned in to watch Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook Watch talk show, Red Table Talk, earlier today, March 1, to see Jordyn Woods finally share her side of the Khloé Kardashian–Tristan Thompson scandal. (Quick recap, in case you’ve somehow missed it: Reports surfaced that Woods, who is best friends with Kardashian’s sister Kylie Jenner, had hooked up with Thompson after a night of partying. Kardashian and the rest of her family have reportedly cut Woods out of their lives following the incident.)
In the interview Woods admitted that Thompson kissed her at the party—but she left soon after. “It was like a kiss on the lips, but no tongue kiss, no making out,” she said. “Nothing. But I don’t think that he’s wrong either, because I allowed myself to be in that position. And when alcohol’s involved, people make dumb moves or people get caught up in the moment.”
Woods was adamant that nothing more happened between the two. She says she told Kardashian and Jenner the next day that she had been at his house…but not about the kiss.
While Woods admitted that she should have told the truth, she also doesn’t think she was the cause of Kardashian and Thompson’s issues. “I know I’m not the reason Tristan and Khloé aren’t together,” she said. She says she did call and text Kardashian to apologize.
This apparently didn’t sit well with Kardashian, who took to Twitter shortly after the Red Table Talk episode aired with her thoughts. “Why are you lying @jordynwoods?? If you’re going to try and save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story,” she wrote. “BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!”
Soon after, many people then called out Kardashian, telling her she should be focusing on Thompson and his actions, not Woods. “Tristan is THE REASON YOUR FAMILY BROKE UP,” one user wrote. “Blame your man sis,” another added.
Kardashian addressed this on Twitter as well, writing, “Tristan is equally to blame but Tristan is the father of my child. Regardless of what he does to me I won’t do that to my daughter. He has been addressing this situation PRIVATELY. If Tristan were to lie publicly about what conspired, then yes I would address him publicly as well.”
Since the incident broke, Thompson has not spoken publicly about what happened. As for Woods, she said in the interview that it was fear that kept her from being honest. “I didn’t tell the truth to the people that I loved,” she said, “not because of malicious intent, but because I was just scared.”
