Kickback for Kardashian: Lamar Odom and Maralee Nichols react to Tristan's paternity reveal
Los Angeles, California - Lamar Odom and Maralee Nichols have sounded off on Tristan Thompson's paternity test reveal.
Tristan may be seeking forgiveness from his ex Khloé Kardashian, but there are some who just aren't feeling his recent admission.
On Monday, a paternity test revealed that the athlete did in fact father a baby with Maralee Nichols, a personal trainer with whom he had an affair while he was still dating Khloé.
The Houston native filed a paternity suit against the Sacramento King player in August, and the case is still ongoing.
However, before the test confirmed Tristan's parentage, he had initially denied that he the newborn's father.
After the 30-year-old verified the news via his Instagram story and apologized to Khloé for the "heartache and humiliation," Maralee reacted to the revelation via her rep to People.
"There was never any doubt that Tristan Thompson was the father of Maralee Nichol's baby," the 31-year-old's rep began.
They continued, "Tristan made numerous false and defamatory statements and declarations about Maralee over the past few months, and she is taking his contrite statement today in the context of all of those statements."
Many may recall that Maralee had leaked messages sent between her and Tristan, where the athlete accused her of trying "to achieve some sort of notoriety and gain for herself in this lawsuit."
Adding more fuel to the fire is Khloé's ex-hubby Lamar Odom, who already engaged in a social media feud with Tristan over the reality star earlier this year.
The former NBA player reportedly commented on a Facebook post that addressed Tristan's newest scandal, writing, "I truly wish nothing but the best for her and I’m hoping we can reconnect and talk one day as friends."
He added, "She is a good person and deserves the world."
Meanwhile, Khloé hasn't responded to Tristan's paternity revelation or his apology yet. But given everything he has put her through, she may not anytime soon.
