Tristan Thompson is not going to sit back and watch his name get slandered anymore than it already has.
The Cleveland Cavs star filed a lawsuit against former lover Kimberly Alexander for her paternity claims against him.
A report by TMZ states that Thompson has just filed a lawsuit against Kimberly Alexander for libel charges:
“Tristan just filed the suit against Kimberly Alexander … the woman who’s very publicly claimed the NBA star is the father of her 5-year-old son — something he’s repeatedly denied. In the lawsuit, Tristan says the paternity test he took back in January “definitively concluded that [he] is not the father.”
In the libel suit, the 29-year-old Thompson claims Alexander “is a wannabe social media influencer and pornographic model/performer who is so desperate to achieve her fifteen minutes of fame that she recently fabricated a false claim that NBA star/Cleveland Cavaliers centre/power forward Thompson is the father of her nearly five-year-old son.”
It goes on to say that a recent DNA test proved Thompson was not the father of Alexander’s child, even though the woman continues to state otherwise on social media.
“Alexander has persisted in publicly proclaiming that Thompson is her child’s father and she has maliciously accused Thompson of being a deadbeat dad, ‘neglecting’ and failing to take financial responsibility for the child since birth,” it says. “To quote Michael Jackson, the kid is not [his] son.’”
