Jordyn Woods has confirmed that Tristan Thompson kissed her “on the lips but no tongue” in the early hours of the morning in a tell-all interview with Jada Pinkett Smith on online chat show Red Table Talk.
Until now, all Jordyn had said publicly about the cheating rumours was, “it’s been real” (a phrase she repeats in the latest interview). But the model, who is (or rather, was) best friends with Kylie Jenner, has shown she has lot more to say in this 30-minute sit down conversation.
The 21-year-old explained she was invited (not by Tristan, she says) to a house party in LA – which she says was her first ‘mistake’.
Jordyn denies rumours that at the house she was “all over” Thompson, the father of Khloe Kardashian’s baby.
“Never once was I giving him a lap dance, making out with him, sitting all over him,” she tells Pinket Smith. “Never once did we leave the public area to go to a bedroom, a bathroom — we’re all in plain sight.”
The 21-year-old shared that she had been on a “partying binge” in the days prior, revealing “that wasn’t the first place I stayed until six in the morning.” Once she saw the sun was coming up, she says she knew she needed to leave.
“I tell Tristan I’m leaving and he’s like, ‘Are you sure ? It’s fine, you can be safe here.’ I’m like, you know what, I need to go… This is where the story gets tricky.”
“On the way out, he did kiss me.”
Whilst TMZ reported that Jordyn was “black out drunk” when the incident occurred, Jordyn denied that.
“I never was belligerently drunk to where I can’t remember what happened. I was never blacked out. There was alcohol involved. I was drunk, I was not tipsy, I was drunk, but I was not beyond the point of recollection. I know where I was.”
“I can’t say ‘You did this’, because I allowed myself to be in that position. I allowed myself to be there.”
Jordyn admitted that after they kissed, she was in shock and denial. She kept telling herself: “that didn’t happen”.
In the morning, Jordyn spoke to Kylie and Khloe, but decided not to mention the kiss.
“I had talked to Khloé and she asked me what was going on, if everything was fine. In my head, I’m trying to forget that part of the story, I was just like, ‘No, he was chilling, everything was okay. There were girls there but he wasn’t all over the girls.’”
“I was honest about being there but I wasn’t honest about the actions that had taken place,” she continued.
“I just knew how much turmoil that was going on that I was like, let me not just throw more fuel on the fire.”
When asked if she feels as though she is the reason that Khloe and Tristan are no longer together, her response was clear: “I know I’m not the reason that Tristan and Khloe are not together”.
“This situation may have made it harder for her to want to be with him, and I understand that. But I know I’m not the reason.”
The socialite says she does take responsibility for her actions, saying “I don’t think that he’s wrong either because I allowed myself to be in that position.”
However Khloe Kardashian has slammed Jordyn for her interview, accusing her of lying and condemning her decision to not deal with the matter privately.
Khloe also told Jordyn that despite her not thinking she was the reason they broke up, she was.
“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. BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!” the reality star posted to her Twitter account.
“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.”
Before the cheating scandal, Khloe and Jordyn were close friends. The day before Jordyn and Tristan kissed, Khloe commented on her little sister’s best friend’s photo saying, “Baby girl”.
Kylie Jenner is yet to comment on Jordyn’s actions.
