The betrayal of the Kardashians

By AMAYA ROTHROCK

 

On February 19, the Kardashians faced what they are saying is the biggest betrayal the family has dealt with. Kylie Jenner’s best friend and family friend, Jordyn Woods, had an affair with the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball player, Tristan Thompson. At the time of the affair, Tristan was in a relationship with Kylie’s half sister, Khloé Kardashian.

However, Tristan has a history of being unloyal to Khloé. He had an affair last April just days before Khloé went into labor with their first baby together, True Thompson. They briefly separated after news of the affair broke but quickly reconnected for True’s sake. Although they worked through their issues with the past affair, it has been said that Khloé will not be reconnecting with Tristan after the most recent affair with Jordyn. She cleared her Instagram page and deleted every photo that had Tristan in it and later unfollowed him.

News quickly broke out about the relations between Jordyn and Tristan on February 20. Jordyn, who has been living with Kylie for years, had to leave the house and move into her mom’s house. Kylie faced a tough decision and decided to end her long friendship with Jordyn. The Kardashian-Jenner family has officially cut ties with Jordyn by unfollowing her on social media.

Jordyn spoke about the incident on March 1 on an internet talk show, Red Table Talk, that is hosted by Jada Pikett Smith who is a close friend of Jordyn. Jordyn claimed that she went to Tristan’s house for an after party with some friends, but nothing happened between the two. Although she said nothing happened, she did admit that she should not have been there in the first place. The main thing that sparked conversation was that a few unnamed people saw Tristan kiss her on her way out the door when she was leaving.

Khloé was not a fan of this conversation on the show. On March 1, she made claims on Twitter that Jordyn was lying and not telling the full story.

“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. By the way, you are the reason my family broke up,” said one of Khloé’s tweets.

She later went on to say that Tristan is also to blame for this, but she has to try to forgive him so he can have a relationship with their baby True. Khloé also claimed that she and Tristan spoke about the incident privately.

Kylie has yet to speak upon the issue. However, Vogue magazine said Jordyn is no longer allowed to do business with the Kardashian-Jenner family. Kylie placed some Kylie Cosmetics makeup that was created in honor of Jordyn has been discounted. The two friends created a collection together called “Kylie x Jordyn”, but it has been said that there will not be another line of makeup for this collection. Jordyn also modeled for Khloé’s Good American clothing line, but her page has been removed from the website.

The family is unsure of what will happen between Kylie and Jordyn due to them being such close friends. They believe Kylie will eventually reconnect with Jordyn and try to move past the incident. Kylie has remained in contact with Jordyn via text, but the rest of the Kardashians have made it very clear that they want nothing to do with Jordyn.
