Larsa Pippen claims that she had the arguably dubious honor of dating Tristan Thompson before Khloé Kardashian.
The ex-Miami “Housewife,” 46, told the “Hollywood Raw” podcast on Monday that she “was kinda seeing Tristan before Khloé. Before Khloé or any of them knew he existed. I was seeing him, I had him come to L.A., I brought him to a party Kim had. I introduced him to all of them.”
Then a week later, or 10 days later, he started seeing Khloé. Which is fine, I don’t even care. It’s whatever … I never cared that Khloé was with him after me.”
But the former Kardashian pal denies that she’s seen anything of Thompson recently, up to and including a rumored affair between the two.
“I would never do that. That’s not even my personality,” she said, before adding, “I applaud [Khloé and Tristan] for working things out. I think it’s great they are trying to work on their relationship. I’m really proud of them.”
Things have been tense between Pippen and the Kardashians since this summer, when eagle-eyed fans noted that Kim, Kourtney and Khloé had all unfollowed Pippen on Instagram. Kim’s husband, Kanye West, tweeted and deleted “Larsa” at one point, leading Pippen to blame him for “brainwashing” the Kardashians against him.
Pippen explained — also on this week’s “Hollywood Raw” — that she was, at one point, West’s “go-to person to call when he wasn’t happy with x, y and z,” and that she eventually blocked his number because of his late-night calling, which “really upset him.”
“If Kanye feels like Kim and him are better without me, then let them be without me,” she added. “Do I look like I’m suffering? … Was it hurtful? Yes … This shall pass, too.”
Pippen and ex-husband Scottie — famously of the Michael Jordan-era Chicago Bulls — wed in 1997, and they share four children together. In 2018, she officially filed for divorce, two years after the pair initially called it quits.
Kardashian and Thompson were first linked in 2016 and split in February 2019 after Thompson allegedly kissed Kylie Jenner’s former BFF, Jordyn Woods. He also infamously cheated on Kardashian the weekend before she gave birth to their daughter, True, in April 2018. The couple have since reportedly rekindled their relationship amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
