Jordyn Woods is speaking her truth after being publicly shamed and harassed online following recent reports that she hooked up with NBA player Tristan Thompson, the father of Khloe Kardashian’s daughter True. Woods appeared on Red Table Talk, where she opened up to Jada Pinkett Smith about what really went down. Woods told Pinkett that she went to a party at Thompson’s house and on the way to leave he kissed her. “On the way out, he did kiss me. No passion. It was like a kiss on the lips. I don’t think he’s wrong either because I allowed myself to be in that position and when alcohol is involved, people make dumb moves or people get caught up in the moment.” Woods added rumors that she gave Thompson a lap dance are untrue. “Never once was I giving him a lap dance, making out with him, sitting all over him. Never once did we leave the public area, go to a bedroom, go to a bathroom. We’re all in plain sight.” Woods has been close to the Smiths since childhood. Her father worked as a producer on Fresh Prince. Will Smith dialed into the show to support Woods, telling her, “Hey listen – that table has mythical cleansing and healing powers…What I want to say is that, the world attacks. It just happens, and you’ll never get around the world attacking. I want you to know that you are supported, and I got you, and we got you.” Following her interview, Khloe Kardashian took to Twitter to lash out at Woods, however, those who have been following the situation were not having it.

Oh shut up, will you??? You ain’t care when Tristan cheated on you the first fifty-leven times. You ain’t care when he was sharing his Groupon peen with the world while you were pregnant with Two Truths and A Lie™️. Why do you care now?

You’re a bird. A whole pterodactyl. https://t.co/Opz8WeUOOM

She literally said that she’s willing to take a lie detector test. She also said that she doesn’t think that you deserve any of the hateful comments you’ve been getting yet you still choose to bully Jordyn?! Yeah... you built different and just looking for a storyline for kuwtk. https://t.co/T0eOHrAU4V

Jordyn did not break your family. Stop looking for someone to blame for your failed relationship. I don't think Jordyn is lying just because you chose to believe Tristan over her. You were not there yet you are putting your head on the line for a man who has ridiculed #wakeup https://t.co/46iclswrV6

no, tristan is the reason your family broke up. he’s the father of your child, not jordyn. let’s also not forget when you broke up HIS wife’s family by getting with him while she was pregnant 💋 mwah that karma baby. https://t.co/g73x6F3wmt

Truthfully, at the end of the day, Woods is a 21-year-old who made a mistake. However, the backlash and reaction from Kardashian has blown the situation way out of proportion. Kardashian’s decision to publicly lash out at her and not her cheating partner—who, by the way, was allegedly spotted with another woman shortly after the scandal broke—says more about her than it does about Woods.
