Tristan Thompson's Public Apology to Khloe Kardashian Sets off Social Media

Tristan Thompson has, once again, come under fire for cheating on Khloe Kardashian. On Monday, Thompson posted a statement in which he acknowledged that he fathered a child with another woman while in a relationship with Kardashian, with whom he shares daughter True. Of course, it wasn't long before folks took to social media to weigh in on that very public apology.

Thompson released a statement on Instagram in which he said that a paternity test confirmed that he fathered a son with Maralee Nichols. The child was born on Dec. 1. The basketball player's statement read, "Today, paternity test results revealed that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established, I look forward to amicably raising our son." He continued to apologize to everyone that he has "hurt or disappointed," including Kardashian. Thompson specifically apologized to the reality star and wrote that she does not "deserve this."

Social media had a field day over the entire situation. The whole drama produced a fair amount of commentary from those criticizing Thompson for the messy ordeal.
