Jordan Craig Reportedly Claimed Tristan Thompson Paid Her Not to Date Other Men
By Ryan Carroll
The past several months have not been especially kind to Tristan Thompson--for good reason. Following the revelation that he cheated on Khloé Kardashian again, this time with family friend Jordyn Woods, new allegations have surfaced from Jordan Craig, the woman whom he dated and fathered a child with before Kardashian. This time, Craig reportedly has claimed that Thompson had paid her handsomely to not date other men, while he became entangled with Kardashian.
Per Us Weekly, a deposition obtained by RadarOnline shows that Craig claimed that Thompson paid her $112,000 shortly after the birth of their son, Prince. When Thompson’s attorney questioned the purpose of the payment, Craig responded, "Well, if we really want to put this on here, that was part of a bribe."
“[Thompson] would help me if I wasn’t, like, dating anybody or talking to anybody and that I would have to come see him,” she added.
However, Thompson and his attorney, Peter Lauzon, have vehemently denied Craig’s accusation. According to Us Weekly, Lauzon argued that Craig only brought the affair to court “to squeeze my client for more money.” Thompson, for his part, reportedly claimed in his own deposition that, “No one ever said about not see or date anyone…All I please [sic] said is, if you’re a single woman, I wanted to request her not to have random men around my child.”
This new revelation follows other accusations that Thompson began his relationship with Kardashian while he was still in a relationship with the then-pregnant Craig. Kardashian herself responded to these claims this week on Instagram, saying that Thompson, his friends, and his mother all assured her that he was no longer dating Craig when they began their relationship--but that if her truth was not the truth, she was deeply sorry.
Clearly, the fiasco surrounding Thompson won’t be going away anytime soon. As for us, we don’t know for certain how much of Craig’s alleged testimony is accurate--but we can definitely say that it’s not looking great for the NBA star.
