The Lakers legend said that if he is single, there is no story there. However, Turner said that the optics are not great. She couldn’t believe that Thompson has another baby on the way but he is walking through the streets of Greece. And the Big Diesel replied, “He is allowed to do that.” 

Shaq also mentioned that everyone is speaking about it but not Khloe Kardashian. He puzzled that if she isn’t talking about it, why everyone is so concerned.

As soon as Khloe and Thompson broke the news, Kourtney Kardashian unfollowed the Chicago Bulls Star on Instagram. Also, Kim Kardashian posted a cryptic message on her Instagram that read: “Girls can see the difference between 200 shades of nude lipstick but they can’t see red flags.”
