Tristan Thompson allegedly threatened his ex-fling, Maralee Nichols, to drop her her lawsuit against him in exchange for $75000 dollars. Maralee alleges the NBA superstar is the father of her child.
In an alleged text by Tristan obtained by Hollywood Life in a legal filing, it appears he urged Maralee to take the money he was offering to drop the paternity lawsuit against him. In the text he says “If you think this baby would make you some money you’re completely wrong. You are aware I’m retiring next year.”
Maralee lives in California with her child born on Dec 6,2021. Her attorney argued in the filing to save money on child support Tristan, filed his complain in Texas, as Texas law would have no jurisdiction on the child support ruling of the court.
Tristan, 30, who is already a father of two children, 4-year old True Thompson with ex Jordan Craig and 3-year old True Thompson with Khloe Kardashian ended the alleged text saying, “All you would have is a baby with father who has zero involvement with the child and few hundred dollars of child support a month.”
In July, Tristan requested that Maralee take paternity test. It’s unclear as of yet that one has been taken since genetic testing can only be done after the baby is born. There are no more reports as of now about the situation as Maralee’s representatives and attorney refused to leave a comment when approached.
