Kim Kardashian's controversial court-side support for Khloé's ex sparks social media uproar

After breaking up again in June 2021, a celebrity couple - who had briefly reconciled in August 2020 - recently announced that they are expecting their second child through surrogacy.

Meanwhile, in a surprising move, Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West were spotted courtside at a Lakers game showing support for Khloé Kardashian's ex-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson. The mother-daughter duo held up a homemade sign that simply read "Tristan Thompson" in the Lakers' signature purple and gold colors, drawing attention from the crowd.

However, their support for Thompson was met with criticism from fans on social media who pointed out his past infidelities towards Khloé. One Twitter user expressed their surprise at how Kim could continue to support Thompson after he had treated her sister so poorly, stating, "It's so weird to me how Kim K can continue cheering for Tristan after the way this man has dogged tf out her sister. It could never be me boii."

Despite facing backlash, Kim and North's support for Tristan Thompson may not come as a surprise to fans of the Kardashian-Jenner family. In fact, Kim had previously defended her sister Khloé during Thompson's cheating scandal, even calling his behavior "so f--ked up" while appearing on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'.

For those who may not be familiar with the situation, Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson began their relationship in 2016 and had a daughter, True, together in 2018. However, Thompson's infidelity plagued their romance, with multiple cheating scandals coming to light, including one involving Jordyn Woods, Kylie Jenner's best friend, which led to their initial breakup in 2019.

Despite some attempts at reconciliation, the couple officially broke up again in 2021. However, they have remained committed to co-parenting their children. In a surprising turn of events, it was later revealed that Tristan Thompson was sued for paternity by Maralee Nichols, with the paternity being confirmed in early 2022. Adding to the complexity, news broke in July 2022 that the exes are expecting their second child via a surrogate.
