Reality television star, Khloe Kardashian’s baby daddy, NBA star, Tristan Thompson has filed an emergency gag order against his third baby mama, Maralee Nichols.
The order obtained on Monday December 6 is for preventing her from making their paternity suit even more public than it already is.
Nichols had claimed in the paternity suit that Thompson impregnated her in March on his 30th birthday, when he and Khloé Kardashian were still dating. She’s suing for child support.
In a counter-suit filed at Harris County, Texas, three days after news of Nichols’ lawsuit went public, Tristan stated that his personal trainer’s intention all along [was] to try to achieve some sort of notoriety and gain for herself.
He claimed that Nichols’ inclusion of Snapchat messages purportedly sent between the two, which he denies ever writing or sending, is an attempt to smear him and are wholly and clearly fabricated.
The NBA star also accused Nichols of alerting the media of him allegedly fathering her child and of the competing lawsuits in California and Texas, despite the court previously granting a protective order to guard documents that contain sensitive personal information.
Revealing that he’ll be retiring after this season, Tristan further alleges in the filing that he has suffered damages and extreme distress. He’s requesting the court to hold an emergency hearing for a complete gag order, and also wants Nichols to post a $30,000 bond to deter her from violating the order. Additionally, Thompson wants Nichols to pay for his fees to file the request.
The basketballer has already admitted to having sex with Nichols several times at a hotel after the pair attended a party together, according to a declaration included in the filing.
He filed a request demanding she take a paternity test in July. As of Nov. 15, she had not taken a test, but in a subsequent filing he said he would pay child support if the child was his.
In a separate legal filing, Nichols claimed text messages allegedly sent by Thompson show that he wanted her to get an abortion and threatened that she will get next to nothing with lesser support requirements in Texas.
Meanwhile, a new revelation has come to light about how friends of Khloe was initially warned not to get back with Tristan after he initially cheated on her but she refused believing that Tristan would change.
Khloe and Tristan share a three year old daughter True. Tristan is also dad to a 4-year-old son Prince, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig.
