During a May 19 episode of “The Kardashians,” Tristan Thompson told Khloé Kardashian that he had a fan ejected from his basketball game in November 2021 because of the fan’s heckling, per People.
The NBA pro is no stranger to receiving flak from fans. After all, E! News reported that attendees had chanted Kardashian’s name at a March game when Thompson attempted to take a drop shot. But the November situation was different, because the heckler had insulted Kardashian. As People noted, the fan accused Kardashian of “talking to different players” and said that Thompson was “just the next one.” Translation: “[He] called me a w****, and said I date basketball players. I’ve had six boyfriends, three of them have been in the NBA,” Kardashian interpreted, per People.
As for how Thompson handled the situation, he spoke up in defense of his then-girlfriend and their daughter, True. “You’re not gonna keep talking about my family like that,” he said, a statement to which Kardashian approved of. At the time, a video from TMZ showed Thompson pointing out the fan in question to security. Sacramento Kings Head Coach backed up Thompson’s actions by saying that fans shouldn’t come to games to harass players. “They can say anything they want to me or they can boo and do everything they want with the players, but there’s no room for saying inappropriate things in a sporting event,” he told reporters. “That’s not why you’re there.”
