Recently, the foundations of our society were shaken as TMZ published a sensational report detailing Khloe Kardashian’s on-and-off boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, cheated on her with her sister Kylie’s own best friend and housemate Jordyn Woods. Their subsequent breakup was also publicized, and all 88.7 million of Kardashian’s followers were left to make whatever they wanted of it.

For many McLean students, this new development in the media giant’s family is a hot topic. The Kardashians live their life on a television screen, and these students watch enthusiastically.

“I know more than the average person, but less than a TMZ [reporter],” junior Sita Edwards said.

The 34-year-old media mogul’s relationship troubles, however, are not new. As far back as April 2018, there were already rumors of Thompson’s infidelity that were corroborated by covert videos taken of him going inside a hotel with an unidentified female, among other things. 

“I would say he isn’t a respectable person,” junior Lana Al-Saloum said.

What could have been a normal and fun night for Woods took a turn for the worst when she made a single impulsive decision.

“Basically, Kylie Jenner’s best friend Jordyn Woods was out partying really late, and then ended up going back to Tristan Thompson’s house with everyone else, and stayed there until six in the morning,” Edwards said.

Woods’ actions had disastrous consequences on her relationship with the Kardashians, who she had was extremely close to. 

“I think that the Kardashians reacted appropriately; they fostered and took care of this girl and brought up her brand and gave her an image and everything and she [betrayed them]. You wouldn’t want your best friend hooking up with your [significant other],” Edwards said.

Jordyn’s friendships weren’t the only thing that took a hit. She encountered a housing problem shortly after the event.

“They don’t live together anymore. [Jordyn] got locked out of the complex. She can’t even enter the Kardashian neighborhood anymore, because security patrols it,” Edwards said.
