Khloe Kardashian defended by sister Kim after trolls target her over Tristan Thompson cheating allegations

Kim Kardashian has defended her sister after she was criticised for attending an event hours after cheating allegations were levelled against her partner Tristan Thompson.

Khloe Kardashian arrived hand in hand with best friend Malika Haqq to the opening of a new Pretty Little Thing shop in West Hollywood on Wednesday night in the wake of reports Thompson had been unfaithful with her sister Kylie Jenner’s best friend Jordyn Woods.

The pair were said to have hooked up at a party in Los Angeles last Sunday, according to gossip site Hollywood Unlocked.

Kim defended Khloe against critics, one of which tweeted: “If someone cheats on you publicly. Y’all going outside the next day?”

Kim, who unfollowed Thompson on Instagram, hit back: “Would you prefer she lose the [money bag emoji] too? A single mom has to work too boo! This was a professional commitment planned far in advance and you better believe she is not waiting on anyone to pay her bills or provide for her daughter. PERDIODT!!!”

Khloe appeared to approve of the response, giving the tweet a ‘like’.

The reality TV star, who shares 10-month-old daughter True with Thompson, broke her silence on the cheating allegations on Thursday with a series of heartfelt quote.

She hinted that she has been left feeling betrayed after appearing to suggest she confided in Woods when Thompson was accused of cheating days before she gave birth last April.

“The worst pain is getting hurt by a person you explained your pain to,” the quote read.

Another read: “If they ask you about me, tell them: ‘She was the only person that loved my with honesty, and I broke her’.”

Khloe has also removed all of the most recent images of Thompson from her Instagram account, but is still following the Cleveland Cavalier player.
