5 year oldKhloe Kardashian has lashed out at Jordyn Woods after she revealed how her affair with Tristan Thompson began, and claimed she’s “not a home-wrecker”.
Kardashian has accused her of lying and breaking up her family with Thompson.
The couple have a daughter together, named True Thompson, who was born in April last year.
The American TV personality, socialite, model, and entrepreneur slapped Woods down, saying she did not call her to apologise privately first, before going public with her tell-all interview with Holywood star Jada Pinkett Smith.
“Tristan is equally to blame but Tristan is the father of my child,” she tweeted.
“Regardless of what he does to me I won’t do that to my daughter. He has been addressing this situation PRIVATELY. If Tristan were to lie publicly about what conspired, then yes I would address him publicly as well.”
In a tweet, Kardashian posted: “Why are you lying @jordynwoods ?? If you’re going to try and save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story. BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!”
She then told fans that Tristan was “equally to blame” for the affair that has sent shockwaves across the entertainment world.

Woods, 21, sat down with Pinkett Smith on Red Table Talk to discuss the cheating scandal involving the Cleveland Cavalier that has turned her world upside down.
On the Facebook show, Jada said she invited Jordyn to “heal, deal, and move forward.”
“This is grown woman mess on another level,” Jordyn said in response.
Woods has known the Smith family since she was a child because her late father helped produce Fresh Prince of Bel Air with Jada’s husband, Will Smith.
Prior to the sit-down, Will Smith called in on Face-Time in to offer Woods words of encouragement.
“This world is not going to break you. We won’t allow it,” he said.
In the interview, Woods said she was enjoying a night out in Los Angeles and coincidentally happened to see Tristan at the same bar.
“He was doing his own thing — that was it,” she said.
Woods said, in typical “LA culture,” she got invited to go to an after-party, which happened to be at Thompson’s house. The NBA star did not personally invite her.
“I’m not thinking, ‘I shouldn’t be here,’” Woods said. “That’s my first step where I went wrong.”
She added, “I should have gone home after the party. I shouldn’t even have been there.”
On February 19, a Hollywood Unlocked reporter alleged she saw Thompson and Woods getting touchy feely with each other at a house party, while Tristan was still dating Kardashian. The source said the pair couldn’t “keep their hands off each other.”
Woods denied those allegations, saying, “Never once was I giving him a lap dance, making out with him, sitting all over him. It’s just — we’re all together,” she said. “We’re in a group. Never once did we leave the public area to go to a bedroom, a bathroom — we’re all in plain sight.”
However, she did admit to putting her legs on Thompson. “I understand why that would be the story.”
But on Woods’ way out from the after-party, she said Thompson kissed her.
“He’s like, are you sure [you want to leave]? It’s fine, you can be safe here.’ I was like, ‘You know what, I need to go.’ I had a car outside, there was a driver that had been waiting.”
“I feel like I can’t point fingers,” she continued.
“I can’t say you did this, because I allowed myself to be in that position. I allowed myself to be there,” she said. “I never was belligerently drunk to where I can’t remember what happened. I was never blacked out. There was alcohol involved. I was drunk, I was not tipsy, I was drunk, but I was not beyond the point of recollection. I know where I was.”
“It was a kiss on the lips, but no tongue kiss. No making out,” she said. “I don’t think he’s in the wrong either because I allowed to be in that position. When alcohol is involved, people make dumb moves.
“I didn’t know how to feel,” she said. “[After I left] I was like, ‘That didn’t just happen.’ I was leaving already so I walked out immediately after. I was in shock. I was like, ‘Hmm, let me just pretend like that didn’t happen.’”
She admitted when she first spoke to Kylie and Khloe that she did not tell them she had kissed Thompson.
“I didn’t tell the truth to the people that I loved,” she said.
“Not because of malicious intent, but because I was just scared.”
“I had talked to Khloé and she asked me what was going on, if everything was fine. In my head, in trying to forget that part of the story, I was just like, ‘No, he was chilling, everything was okay. There were girls there but he wasn’t all over the girls.’
“I was honest about being there but I wasn’t honest about the actions that had taken place,” she continued.
“I just knew how much turmoil that was going on that I was like, let me not just throw more fuel on the fire.”
She said she was willing to take responsibility for what happened, but didn’t think she deserved to be demonised.
“I’m no homewrecker. I would never try to hurt someone’s home. Especially someone that I love. And someone who has a beautiful daughter. I would never try to steal someone’s man. I don’t need your situation. I really just hurt so many more people by not telling the truth.”
Woods said while she made a mistake, the story “that didn’t have to be what it was turned into the biggest scandal or betrayal of the year.”
“[It was] not a mistake that’s worth public crucifixion,” she said.
“It’s a mistake that should have been dealt with internally.”
“The crazy thing is, the arms that I thought would be around me are nowhere to be found,” she continued.
“The first few days of this were definitely the hardest. I couldn’t eat, I didn’t eat for days. I couldn’t look at my phone, even. I just tried to sleep and hope that I’d wake up and this wouldn’t be true.”
Woods also said she has received death threats over the scandal and her family has been forced to remain at home.
“Every time you refresh the page it’s another person bullying, or wishing death upon me, or telling me something like, ‘Your father deserved to die,’ ” she said. “I may have done something wrong, but whatever I did, I don’t think I deserved this. It’s just, it’s not fair.”
“If I was a weak person, I would have hurt myself,” she continued, tearing up. “It’s even hard for me to say this … everyone’s safety is now … we can’t leave the house. My brother can’t go to work. My sister can’t go to school. She’s 12 years old. My mother can’t even go to the grocery store.”
Woods and Jenner grew up together and have been best friends for years. She even modelled for Khloé’s clothing line, Good American, and lived in Kylie’s mansion.
But following the scandal, an insider told Page Six that Khloé and Kylie were not returning Wood’s calls.
“Jordyn has been reaching out to Khloé and Kylie trying to make amends because she realised what she did was wrong,” the source said. “She feels bad that she betrayed people who were there for her more than her mother has.”
Woods said she’s “not here to play the victim” and in hindsight, she never would have gone to the after party.
“I would not have gone with those girls to an afterparty and just not allowed myself to be in positions to where I also allowed things to happen,” she said.
“If I would have told the truth from the beginning — ‘You know what, I was there, we were drunk, this happened,’ I wouldn’t be here today.”
“The truth is always better,” she added.
“This is a huge consequence.”
