While Jenner and Woods seemed to be stronger than ever, a situation began to unfold that would affect their friendship for years to come. In February 2019, TMZ reported that Khloé Kardashian’s then-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, was seen getting very close with someone at a house party just days after he spent Valentine’s Day with Kardashian. The person in question was none other than Woods. Though Thompson publicly denied the alleged hookup at the time, sources told Us Weekly that the NBA star admitted to cheating on Kardashian when she confronted him about it.
The news absolutely shocked the world, and Woods and Jenner had a very brutal and public falling out. A source revealed to People that shortly after the scandal erupted, Woods was “moving back to her mom’s house. It’s been a difficult time and she’s broken up about it. She’s heading home to be with her mom.”
The polarizing and tense situation became more complicated when Woods appeared on Jada Pinkett-Smith’s “Red Table Talk” in March 2019 to share her side of the story. In the 30-minute long video, Woods told Pinkett-Smith that after a night of clubbing with friends, she went to Thompson’s house to continue having fun. After a long night, Woods explained that Thomspon kissed her as she was leaving. “On the way out, he did kiss me,” she revealed. “No passion, no nothing, on the way out. He just kissed me. Like a kiss on the lips, no tongue kiss, no making out, nothing.”
