Tristan Thompson has offered a reason for his consistent philandering as he’s admitted he simply could not stop cheating on Khloe Kardashian despite how he felt afterward.
The Cleveland Cavaliers forward has been caught in numerous flings throughout his relationship with Khloe and is now blaming his upbringing.
Khloe’s sister, Kourtney Kardashian, called the veteran NBA player out on his actions during the latest episode of ‘The Kardashians’ as she seemed intent on getting to the root of his infidelity. Asked if he felt any remorse after being unfaithful, Thompson claimed he felt disgusted with himself every time.
“For me personally, when I cheat, I feel disgusted the next day with guilt,” he remarked.
Kourtney asked why he kept it up if that’s how it made him feel.
“I was just cheating for an action, just cheating for a feeling, but also it really came down to not knowing how to love, because that’s the way I grew up,” Thompson explained.

“What I saw from my dad, how he would treat my mom, as a kid when you see that, the trauma you have, because you can’t protect your mom because you’re so young and ’cause your mom tells you it’s going to be OK, you basically numb your emotions of being scared or feeling sad. It’s my form of a defense mechanism.”
The 2016 NBA champion would also claim that he’s never seen any man treat a woman right or refrain from cheating, nor has he ever met a good husband, which is why it was difficult for him to remain faithful himself.
Doesn’t seem like Kourtney bought any of it, though.
