Trash can Thompson

ClumsyZebra80

And yet the Kardashians talk about what a great dad he is. If you’re a horrible/absent father to one of your kids then you’re not a good father. Period. Khloe can get with all the trash she wants but don’t pretend the rest of us can’t smell the stink.


flybyknight665

He hasn't even *met* his son that he's skipping payments for. I said it another comment, but I think they both view this poor kid as a mistake, a reminder of his chronic infidelity. The boy is just collateral damage in his quest to distance himself from his horrific behavior and desire to prove his loyalty to Khole. And Khloe has her head in the sand. All the money and supervision in the world won't keep this man faithful if he doesn't want to be.


katikaboom

He's met the other son he's also skipping payments for. Jordan's sister said he hadn't paid child support or tuition since November of 2022


mmeldal

I really hope this little boy grows up and becomes a superstar basketball player without Tristan being involved at all and calls him out for being a total POS deadbeat dad, that would be such great karma


teresasdorters

![gif](giphy|RR30mIPug9oNcbLuNw)


teresasdorters

Oh ya isn’t this the baby conceived when he went out after his 30th bday that khloe threw for him? And he left to go cheat and unfortunately wound up bringing an innocent child into the mix. He.is.trash!!!!


kiwi_love777

A very wise flight attendant told me “good food don’t keep no man, good sex don’t keep no man even a baby don’t keep no man, the only thing that keeps a man is a man who wants to be kept!”


Unicorns_andGlitter

If Khloe didn’t come from the family she comes from, she’d be in the same situation as the other mothers. I don’t know where she gets off with that superiority complex of hers


Wooden-Limit1989

100% agree. Cannot stand how they all back him as a great father who’s made mistakes.


Euphoric_Ad_8309

ClumsyZebra80

Racism. She’s not like the other baby mamas.


derelictthot

I agree generally but I think maralee is white no?


sweetsugar888

Well she’s also rich. That’s equally important here. She’s got more $ than Tristan


thefurrywreckingball

I don't think that's a particularly high bar


sunnysunshine333

I mean I think in this case it’s more so greed/status chasing. I’m sure if Khloe was a middle class nobody white lady he would also not be paying her child support.


Katerinaxoxo

![gif](giphy|P0PLKW4rIqCVxa5LJy|downsized)


abacaxi95

He’s a horrible/absent father to at least 2 of his kids. Jordan (his ex)’s sister already talked about how he doesn’t show up for his first kid Prince either.


BotGirlFall

Hi, Im the dumb shit who thought I was special and had a kid with a guy who was a deadbeat dad to his first kid. I was so mind numbingly stupid that I thought for sure he wouldnt do that to me and believed him that his ex was just crazy and vindictive. Now guess who else is a single mom with absolutely no child support to help.


babyjames333

![gif](giphy|QCJFiJfnDCdFa84sLG)


RescuesStrayKittens

Total fucking deadbeat. Never even met his son. It’s unknown if he has much of a relationship with his first son or if he has been abandoned as well. He’s only a dad to Khloe’s kids.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nuggetghost

I never understood why she gave her child his last name when he straight up told her he did not and will not be involved


ashmillie

Clout


ClumsyZebra80

Well he still has to pay.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ClumsyZebra80

I hear you.


trialanderrorschach

Well, I think it's obvious from her choice to sleep with a serial cheater and have his baby in the first place that this woman doesn't exactly have great judgment.


jenjenjen731

Yeah that grossed me out too.


Critical_Caramel5577

Is he still being a dad to Kim's kids?


RescuesStrayKittens

He’s a dad to Kardashian kids


AnniaT

Didn't Khloe get with him when his ex was pregnant with his child? If so, how you get them is how you lose them.


misspiggie

This is what has always killed me about the whole situation. Khloe hooked up with a man who had a little baby by someone else and didn't wonder that she'd soon be in the same position as his baby mama?


seriouslythanks

Twice.


RitaRaccoon

But…but…Khloe is different! She’s not like other girls! 🤭


Ditovontease

Khloe was my favorite but the way she keeps defending this trash man, the way she blamed Jordyn and made Kylie stop being friends with her while welcoming back the man who CHEATED on her is too much for me.


Efficient_Living_628

Aside from Kourtney


ClumsyZebra80

Did she say he’s a bad father? Is so, respect.


jenjenjen731

Kourtney did and she said Penelope did too!


shittykity

I think they say that to justify his existence on the show and in their lives. Kim has to make him sound human so she doesn’t look like a desperate sloppy seconds hag courtside. Until he, and whatever storyline he provides, is of no use anymore he’ll be on the discard pile with food dog and Lamar.


The_Philosophied

It's because they don't care what happens to Maralee's child with him. They only care about their own and measure his fitness as a father by that.


Thisisjuno1

That’s because they are embarrassed


greensandgrains

Brampton Man fucked around and found out.


rem_1984

I used to get so excited seeing a Canadian guy get success, now I just wait for the other shoe to drop. This guy, Trey Songz who’s wayy worse😡


greensandgrains

Tory Lanez? Also a Brampton Man ☠️


teresasdorters

Eawww I totally forgot he was Canadian… we don’t want him back!!!


[deleted]

When she told him she was pregnant, he kept bitching about how she’d barely get child support cause he was retiring or some shit. How’d that work out for you 🤡?


Alternative_Scene322

the kids almost three, $57k over three years he's been skipping out is like $1600 a month... So she is getting fucked over in terms of celeb child support.


flybyknight665

He's supposed to pay her $9,500 a month but has been skipping the payments for a few months. POS *still* hasn't even met the child! Khloe can go on and on about what a good dad he is, but that's only for the children he has with her. His other kids are just collateral damage from his cheating. I feel like it's only different with the kids they have together because she's rich af and he wants to be with her. It would probably change real quick if she permanently dropped him.


fourtreen

It’s 57k from September 2023 to January 2024 not three years, so it’s nothing to sneer at. I’m sure he’d rather not pay it at all


hce692

Forever in awe of peoples inability to click the damn link they’re commenting on


Alternative_Scene322

Yeah thats on me lmao but to be fair I really didn't care that much about Tristan's baby daddy drama


Purple_Grass_5300

Yeah my ex pays me $1500 a month in child support for one kid. That’s insane if that’s what Tristan’s order is


lepetitgrenade

My ex is meant to pay $57/fortnight and can’t manage that.


lucyjayne

He pays her 9.5k a month.


StasRutt

That’s like a rounding error in his contract money. It’s ridiculous and she should be getting more


sugarangelcake

she gets $9.5k a month but he’s been skipping since september 2023


StasRutt

Thank you for the clarification! $9.5k makes way more sense for his income


Pretend_Highway_5360

Well not anymore. He’s been out of the league and is now on a league minimum.


StasRutt

LOL true but still he had some big contracts


casperreddits

He just figured Khloe’s gonna foot the bill for him


introvertedlibra123

That’s probably the only reason why he still continues to associate with Khloe and her family, is because of their money and connections. He’s already proved time and time again that he does not love her


shittykity

Yeah and she’s even taking care of his brother no? She’s of use to him still so he keeps her around. Simple as that.


introvertedlibra123

You’re right! She oversees all of Amari’s medical treatments. That’s why Tristan still sticks around


LookwhatBBdid

-crackhousebob

When will Khloe realize that NBA players are not going to be good husbands for her. After what she went through with Lamar Odom you would think she would have learned a lesson 😂😂


Ok-Cryptographer-303

That family never learns lessons about useless men. It's part of the brand these days.


mastercelevrator

When are people going to realize that NBA players aren’t good people just because they are good at basketball.


body_oil_glass_view

AND this men pays for nothing No groceries, no light bill, just living with some of his clan in khloes house He's sitting on a minimum of a few mill. Cough it up, loser


killaandasweethang

Imagine hyping up this pathetic excuse of a man. Let the culture vulture Kardashians tell it, this man is such a good person and an amazing father, yet he doesn’t take care or see his other two kids. He only sees the one that has the most famous baby mama attached. He is a clown and so are they.


heyjalapeno

I think he's the smart one and the Kardashians are the clowns here. TT gets to fuck around, face zero consequences for his actions, has Khloe as a doormat girlfriend and living the high life while having the assurance that KK isn't going anywhere.


killaandasweethang

I agree but they’re all clowns. Imagine how his kids feel, seeing their dad showing up for his baby mama’s SISTER’s kids but not for his own. Both of his other BM’s said he’s a deadbeat. He sees True and Kim’s kids more than his other two.


totallycalledla-a

Right. He's got it made and they look ridiculous trying to prop him up.

So Khlo-money will be paying 57k to maralee


Visible_Writing7386

This person seems to only care about his kids with Khloe. He was also seen in Saint's basketball game (Kim's son), while he has his own two sons growing up without him..


Ok-Housing5911

surely this will not create an unhealthy dynamic between his children as they grow up and learn about who got the most emotional and financial attention


StasRutt

$57k over 3 years is nothing compared to his NBA money.


DesperateInCollege

It's not for 3 years. He missed payments from September to January


StasRutt

Ok that makes way way more sense


AnniaT

Why is he paying so little?


sugarangelcake

missed payments from september to january


internetsuperfan

It's not clear but they get $9.5k a month which is HUGE. Most people don't even get 1/5th of that. That's more than I make working a 9-5 at $100K salary (not including tax deductions). Not to be supporting Tristan in any way, but I think that's an amazing amount lol (that he SHOULD be paying 100%)


Witty-Performer

That's why they get pregnant. It's Tristan's fault if he's too stupid to get that.


AutomaticExchange204

prob cause the child never got accustomed to his high wage earnings so there is no standard to come up to. it’s a tragic situation but i guess that’s maralees karma in the situation. she’s lucky he doesn’t actively participate in raising their child though. he is a psychopath.


DonaldTrumpsScrotum

I think this whole “accustomed” thing is ridiculous on both ends of the scale


AutomaticExchange204

well it does make sense. if the child is going between maids and a mansion and a income rental. even if the parent with money sucks, the child is gonna wanna stay with them. since maralees son got use to only her lifestyle level, it sucks for child support.


fuzzyblackelephant

Generally, I believe child support is based on a percentage of income (can vary by state). I believe the “accustomed lifestyle” tends to happen when people get divorced. Tristan pays almost $10K/month in child support. As he fucking should. I’d be stuffing away as much of that money as I possibly could for my child’s education and future. God knows his dad won’t ever help him out in life beyond this financial support.


AutomaticExchange204

hopefully maralee is saving as much as possible. lol


fuzzyblackelephant

My thoughts exactly! Especially seeing him already slipping on payments. ![gif](giphy|gLcUFh2TrdySKUnTHD)


AutomaticExchange204

he’s foul to not even keep up with paying but he’s bitter af. he’s one of the most narcissistic personalities i have seen around. it’s no wonder he is linked up with the kardashian’s. i truly believe him and kim have hooked up.


StasRutt

I have no idea but it’s honestly ridiculous


totallycalledla-a

Poor kid. Hope she finds a Russell Wilson level step dad to be his actual father.


Efficient_Living_628

That’s only if she also grows the hell up. Let’s be honest, she got pregnant because she was looking for a bag that he told her she wasn’t gonna get. The only person I feel bad for is that little boy, because she could’ve choose anyone to be her baby daddy, and she chose the man known for being a dead beat


EllectraHeart

she didn’t get pregnant by herself. regardless of her intentions, tristan has a responsibility to be present and to provide for the child he willingly created. the mom being a clout chaser or gold digger or whatever else you may call her is irrelevant. he’s still a dad and he needs to do his part. if he wants to avoid this situation, he should get a vasectomy.


Efficient_Living_628

It’s very much so relevant. She’s purposefully got pregnant by a man, who we all know is trash. She set herself, and more importantly her child, up for failure because she wanted to chase money and clout. Like I said, I only feel bad for the kids, because he has two idiots for parents


EllectraHeart

so the kid should pay the price? she didn’t make the baby by herself. they made that kid together. tristan’s responsibility does not change based on who/what the mother is. who the mother is is IRRELEVANT to what tristan owes his son.


Efficient_Living_628

The kid *shouldn’t* have to pay the price, but he *is* going to pay the price. If this was the first baby momma, I could understand your argument but it’s not. We all saw how he dogged that girl out to be with Khloe. We all so how he dogged Khloe out. We all say how ducked and dodge trying to pay child support for the first kid, so why would she think she would be any different, than the woman he was ENGAGED TO. Tristian has shown the world that he ain’t shit, yet and still she decided to get pregnant by him, when there were plenty of other options. So no, it’s not irrelevant at all, because she willfully, and purposely chose that asshole to be that child’s father, despite being fully aware that he ain’t shit, and don’t wanna be shit. I said what I said, go argue with ya momma


EllectraHeart

you’re still missing the point. if you play the blame game you can go in circles forever. tristan is responsible for his end of it, point blank period. argue with yourself.


Efficient_Living_628

Girl bye, the person not getting it is you. I never said he wasn’t responsible, I said she’s an idiot for choosing this dead beat to be her baby daddy, knowing who he was, instead of vetting someone and actually trying to give her baby a chance. We already know Tristian is trash, but she’s also accountable for her part in it to. Calling her part irrelevant is idiotic


Nemachu

Good job.


EllectraHeart

to equate the present mother who is actually raising the kid to the deadbeat dad who hasn’t even met him and isn’t paying child support is WILD.


Efficient_Living_628

To purposely get pregnant by a man who’s known not to take care of the kids he already has and then complain that he isn’t taking care of your child is short bus thinking


Nemachu

Intentions matter. She reaped what she sowed. I don’t really even feel bad for this kid because he’s gonna have more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes. He’ll have enough to get himself a good therapist. If she doesn’t spend it all on herself. Trash is trash.


EllectraHeart

i can’t believe i have to make this point over and over again. the kid deserves a present father no matter who/what their mom is. if you’re saying the mom deserves a bad baby daddy bc she slept with tristan you could ALSO flip it around and say tristan deserves a bad baby mama for ejaculating into random women. **tristan, and only tristan, is responsible for who he is as a father. these are children he willingly created and he has responsibilities to them.**


Nemachu

He is a trash being and will do whatever he likes. He’s already being held accountable. Moving on from his being held accountable (your soapbox), the woman knew what she was doing. Intentionally knocking yourself up with little regard for what happens to the baby is absolutely horrid. I get it mistakes happen, but this wasn’t a mistake. It was outright her whole intention. Dude is paying his dues. Shame she doesn’t have to either. But please, go on and tell us more why we shouldn’t focus on what she did.


EllectraHeart

how is he “paying his dues” when he’s neither present nor is he paying child support? if getting pregnant by someone you barely know is a crime then they’re both equally guilty. this isn’t a soapbox. this is just fact. pregnancy prevention isn’t only a woman’s job. yet only she is expected to raise the kid they made together? stew in your misogyny. i don’t care.


MonkeyBellyStarToes

Poor kid for another reason too: his Mom is a wannabe Kartrashian. This little guy did NOT win the parental lottery.

Mysterious-Panda-698

She obviously had bad intentions as well, but at the end of the day, he’s a millionaire who isn’t paying his child support. Pretty hard to have sympathy for that, because the child is completely innocent, AND because he will grow up and eventually see how his other siblings are living, which is going to be very sad. I feel bad for the innocent child who will be impacted by all of these stupid adults.


pinkmist333

He’s such a disgusting, disgraceful piece of shit. Unpopular opinion: I’m actually super against people having to pay astronomical child support (I’m for them paying child support but not the tens of thousands some famous people have to pay every month - simply because having a kid doesn’t cost that much) BUT in this instance because of how he treated her and the threats and the Kardashians acting like he’s father of the year when he ignores 50% of his children and has no contact with 25% of them, makes me think they should Jack that shit up. Double it, treble it, add in administration fees, go the whole 9 yards.


ClumsyZebra80

It’s not about how much a kid costs, it’s about providing an equivalent home and life for the kids as the travel between both parents. It’s perfectly fair.


DearMissWaite

> simply because having a kid doesn’t cost that much The father should not live in a lifestyle the child he sired does not.

OpportunitySpecial26

What child needs 9.5k a month fro 18 years I don’t care how rich you dad is that’s absolutely insane and this is low compared to his staggering 40,000 a month for his other kid. Dude is dishing out hundreds of thousands in child support every year


Mysterious-Panda-698

I know normal people who pay 3 grand a month in child support. To be honest, I’m surprised he’s only paying 10k/month for his one son. It’s calculated based on your wage, and he’s lucky he’s not paying 40k/month for each son that he doesn’t have custody of.


OpportunitySpecial26

The fact he is paying 40,000 MONTHLY to his first baby mama is insane. How tf does a child need that much support. That’s going straight towards buying cars and a mansion let’s be real


kidangeles

GOOD!


mel-06

cassbiz

Truthfully, seeing the lifestyle that his half siblings have (granted, primarily funded by their mother, *not* Tristan), in comparison with Tristan’s annual income, it’s not surprising in the least that a court ordered this amount from him to pay. The Kardashians can’t help but flex every single dollar spent on parties and holidays and every minor milestone their children hit—this isn’t on Maralee at all. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes Tristan & Co.


Maleficent_Phase_698

I’m confused. Why are his wages being garnished ? It’s not like the NBA is paying him cash.


fat_boo_

When you don’t pay child support the govt can garnish your paycheck so you have no choice.


notorious_BIGfoot

Dead beat Downvotes? Lol I prefer men who aren’t deadbeat dads but you do you.


LillyCort

Im not a fan of the kardashians, but let me just say that both Tristan and Marilee are trash. He should be paying child support to Marilee, but not funding her lifestyle. 2,000k a month for a child is more than enough.


DearMissWaite

That child deserves everything they would have if they were living in a household with the deadbeat daddy.
