Maralee Nichols Finally Breaks Her Silence on Secret Relationship With Tristan Thompson: “I Do Not Want Any Romantic Relationship With Tristan. My Goal Is To Raise Our Son”
Whew! The woman who has been claiming that Tristan Thompson is the father of her son is breaking her silence to set the record straight.
In a statement shared to @enews, Maralee Nichols tells the outlet, “Over the past couple of weeks, many inaccurate and false stories have been circulated about me. I have not at any point released—nor have I directed anyone else to release—any information regarding Tristan Thompson or any litigation involving him. I have never spoken to any media outlet, nor have I leaked any information to anyone at any time. I am providing this statement because I feel I must defend my character.” She added, “I have seen fake stories, unflattering photos of me, people using photos that are not even me, stating an incorrect occupation and age,” E! quotes. “There have been multiple fake Instagram posts claiming to be me, making false statements and attaching stock photos of a sonogram and a child (neither mine).”
Further speaking on her “truth,” Nichols goes on to say, “These are the facts: I have lived in California since 2019. I am not a personal trainer. I have not worked as a personal trainer for four years; I do fitness modeling. I was never a personal trainer for Tristan,” noting that she met Thompson at a party at his Encino, Calif., home in 2020. “I saw Tristan in March 2021 around his birthday. He told me he had wanted to see me,” she tells the outlet. “I agreed to meet him in Houston at a private party on March 12. I never drove a Maserati to meet Tristan, as he claimed. He has never even been in my vehicle. I used an Uber or was driven by friends that weekend. Houston was one of many nights we spent together. Soon after his birthday weekend in Houston, Tristan invited me to visit him in Boston.”
After her trip to Boston to see Thompson, weeks later she learned that she was pregnant. According to her, she told Thompson about her pregnancy in North Carolina after he invited her to see him at the end of April, E! news notes.
“I was induced on November 29, 2021 because I had a placenta abnormality,” she shared. “There is no other medical reason why I needed to be induced. I gave birth on December 1, 2021. Instead of focusing on any negativity, I am choosing to embrace being a mother and doing the best I can for my son. I do not want any further media attention, nor do I want a romantic relationship with Tristan. My goal is to raise our son in a safe, healthy, loving and private environment.”
In court documents previously obtained by E! News, Thompson stated, “The only time that I had sexual intercourse with [Maralee] in 2021 was in March 2021 in Houston, Texas. I specifically remember having sexual intercourse with [her] in March because it was my birthday. [She] and I attended a party together at a hotel in Houston. [She] had called me and wanted to be with me on my birthday.”
Meanwhile, Nichols states that she did “everything possible” not to bring attention to herself during her pregnancy. “Tristan filed a paternity action in Texas after I filed my paternity action in Los Angeles,” she notes. “I did not file any request for child support before our child was born. The case that Tristan brought against me was dismissed on December 15, 2021.”
As we previously reported, Thompson wanted a Houston court to hear the case, whereas Nichols filed in California. Now, since a judge ruled to dismiss Thompson’s case in Texas, it’s now likely Nichols’ lawsuit will be handled in California, E! notes.
Although Tristan admitted to a past sexual relationship with Nichols, he has not responded to her new statement. Until then, let us know your thoughts on this in the comment box below.
