Tristan Thompson has developed a reputation for being a ‘ladies’ man’ due to his charming personality. However, his associations with women have often landed him in trouble over the years. The Cleveland Cavaliers legend’s infidelity scandals led to the end of his relationship with renowned reality TV star Khloe Kardashian after years of being together. After the recent loss of his mother Andrea Thompson last month, Khloe Kardashian’s support for Tristan Thompson during a tough time triggered reconciliation rumors among fans. Amid the reunion speculations involving Khloe Kardashian, Thompson’s recent stint has again prompted fans to slander him on social media.

With no playing contract this season in the league, Tristan Thompson has started working as an analyst on ESPN’s ‘NBA Today’ last month. The Cavs legend recently posted some pictures from the sets of the show. However, one of the pictures posted by Thompson with a female co-host led to fans calling him out.

The caption of Tristan Thompson’s recent post on Instagram read, “The NBA got flipped upside down during the trade deadline special 🤯🤯🤦🏽‍♂️.” The 2016 NBA champ also added a few pictures of himself and his colleagues from the NBA Deadline special show. However, a picture of Tristan Thompson with co-host Malika Andrews drew the attention of the fans, but not in a good way.

Malika Andrews is a renowned sports journalist and a sports reporter. The 28-year-old has quickly established herself as a reputable sports reporter for ESPN. Andrews also made it to the list of Forbes 30 Under 30 sports industry list in 2021. She co-hosts ‘NBA Today’ alongside NBA veterans Vince Carter and Tristan Thompson. However, their recent picture together, where Malika posed with Vince Carter and Tristan Thompson in a quirky way, gave way for the fans to criticize Thompson. One fan wrote, “TT’s next victim lmao Malika Andrews”
