Reports of Tristan Thompson cheating on pregnant Khloe Kardashian hit fans on social media hard Tuesday evening.
The reaction was mostly of disgust and mourning as Twitter users considered the possibility that Thompson was not as committed to Kardashian as he had seemed, especially with her impending delivery of their baby girl. The 27-year-old NBA player was in New York City on Saturday night, ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game Monday against the New York Knicks.

Fans were devastated by the news, taking to Twitter to express their disappointment in Thompson.
