Tristan Thompson Spotted Leaving LA Strip Club With Two Women — Inside the Scandal Rocking His Complicated History With Khloé Kardashian

It wouldn’t be a Hollywood scandal without the Kardashians somewhere in the mix — and this week, Tristan Thompson has once again landed himself in the headlines. The NBA player and longtime on-and-off partner of Khloé Kardashian was caught on camera leaving a Los Angeles strip club with not one, but two women, sparking outrage, speculation, and endless social media chatter.

A Night at Cheetahs

The explosive images, published by The U.S. Sun, show Thompson, 34, arriving at Cheetahs, a well-known LA gentlemen’s club, over the weekend. Dressed in an all-black tracksuit, paired with a baseball cap and silver chain, the Cleveland Cavaliers star seemed ready for a low-key night out. At first glance, it looked like a fairly ordinary outing — he walked into the venue with a single female companion.

But by the end of the night, things had changed dramatically. Cameras captured Thompson striding out of the club confidently, this time flanked by two glamorous women in curve-hugging outfits and full glam makeup. Both appeared comfortable in his company, sparking speculation about whether the trio left together for a private afterparty.

Khloé’s Complicated Connection

Of course, any time Tristan Thompson’s name surfaces, Khloé Kardashian’s name follows closely behind. The two share a long and messy romantic history, riddled with public cheating scandals and dramatic breakups. They are parents to two children — True, 7, and Tatum, 3 — and though they insist their relationship is purely co-parental at this point, their continued proximity keeps them forever entangled.

Khloé, now 41, has taken on an additional responsibility in Thompson’s family since the passing of his mother in January 2023, even stepping in to help care for Tristan’s disabled younger brother, Amari. For fans, this added dimension makes Thompson’s latest nightclub outing feel like another slap in the face — not just to Khloé as a former partner, but to her as someone who has stood by him during family hardships.

A History of Infidelity

Thompson’s reputation as a serial cheater is well-documented. Their relationship first went public in 2016, but within two years, Khloé’s pregnancy was overshadowed by widespread reports of Thompson’s infidelity. The scandal deepened when it was revealed that Thompson kissed Kylie Jenner’s best friend, Jordyn Woods, at a party in 2019.

Despite reconciliations, including a brief rekindling in 2020, the pair ultimately split for good in 2021 after news broke that Thompson fathered a child with fitness model Maralee Nichols. Yet, in a twist only the Kardashians could script, Khloé later announced that she and Thompson were expecting their second child, Tatum, via surrogate — news that shocked even longtime followers of the Kardashian saga.

Fans React to the Strip Club Scandal

Given this turbulent history, Thompson’s latest late-night antics sparked predictable outrage across social media. Many fans were quick to accuse the NBA star of disrespecting Khloé yet again, even though they are no longer romantically linked. Some even claimed the photos underscored his lack of seriousness as a father.

“Khloé has done nothing but stand by him, raise his kids, and even care for his brother,” one fan fumed on X (formerly Twitter). “Meanwhile, he’s out here living like a bachelor at 34. Embarrassing!”

Others, however, weren’t surprised. “This is classic Tristan behavior. Strip clubs, women, drama… it’s his brand at this point,” one comment read.

A United Front for the Kids

Despite the backlash, insiders close to the Kardashian family emphasize that Khloé and Tristan are focused on co-parenting, not rekindling a romance. The two recently posed together for photos marking True’s first day of second grade, standing side by side with their children in a heartwarming family snapshot.

On The Kardashians, Khloé has spoken candidly about her complicated feelings toward Tristan. In one episode, she confessed to her best friend Malika Haqq that her daughter True believes she and Thompson are married. While Khloé emphasized the importance of modeling healthy relationships for her children, she also admitted she struggles with how to present her and Tristan’s unusual family dynamic.

“The only thing that bothers me,” she said, “is I don’t want True going through life thinking this is what a marriage is.”

What’s Next for Tristan?

For Thompson, the strip club scandal comes at a time when he has reportedly been “dating again.” According to sources, he has shifted focus back to himself after Khloé turned down multiple marriage proposals. “I’m putting myself first,” Thompson allegedly told insiders earlier this year.

But with photos like these making the rounds online, fans are questioning what “putting himself first” really means — and whether it comes at the expense of his public image, fatherhood, or his co-parenting reputation with Khloé.

The Kardashian Effect

Ultimately, any scandal involving a Kardashian-adjacent figure is guaranteed to dominate headlines. Whether it’s fair to Khloé or not, Tristan’s behavior will continue to be viewed through the lens of their complicated history. The two may no longer be a couple, but their intertwined lives ensure that Khloé is inevitably dragged into the spotlight whenever Tristan stirs up controversy.

As for Thompson, the photos tell their own story: a night meant for fun that ended in yet another public relations mess. And while he may brush off the chatter, his actions continue to feed the very narrative that has haunted his name for nearly a decade.
