Tristan Thompson Paternity Lawsuit Sealed Following Gag Order Request
Tristan Thompson has gained some type of victory in his paternity lawsuit with alleged baby mama Maralee Nichols as it has finally been sealed from public view.
The online filing, obtained by Page Six shows that the suit is no longer available for public search and is “currently CONFIDENTIAL or this case has been SEALED.”
As we reported this comes just days after Thompson requested a gag order against Nichols who has been talking to the press about Thompson’s alleged shortcomings, however, Nichols claims that there has yet to be a hearing on the gag order.

In his motion, Tristan says Maralee has violated the court’s order by speaking to the media.
“Respondent MARALEE NICHOLS has alerted the media, among other things, as follows: (1) that she alleges TRISTAN TREVOR THOMPSON fathered her child, (2) that there are competing lawsuits in Texas and California to determine paternity of her child, (3) about specific information contained in court pleadings, and (4) about numerous other factual allegations made by her in this paternity dispute, including purported snapchat messages from TRISTAN TREVOR THOMPSON to MARALEE NICHOLS.”
Tristan also claims that the texts she showed in court are “fabricated and which were never sent by Tristan.”
She filed two cases in Texas and California in hopes of getting a larger child support payment.
In addition, the NBA player claims Maralee is doing all of this as a part of a smear campaign. “It has been MARALEE NICHOLS’ intention all along to try to achieve some sort of notoriety and gain for herself in this lawsuit.”
“TRISTAN TREVOR THOMPSON has already suffered damages and extreme distress from MARALEE NICHOLS wrongful dissemination of information.”
