  • Larsa Pippen said she introduced Tristan Thompson to the Kardashians at Kim's party
  • She denied rumors that she and Thompson had an affair while he was with Khloe Kardashian
  • Pippen blames Kanye West for her falling out with the Kardashian-Jenner family 

Larsa Pippen, who used to be friends with Kim Kardashian, has revealed that she dated Tristan Thompson before he got into a relationship with Khloe Kardashian.

In an interview with the “Hollywood Raw” podcast Monday, Pippen revealed that she went out with the Cleveland Cavaliers player before he struck a romance with Khloe, the mother of his daughter True, in 2016. She further claimed that she was the one who introduced Thompson to the Kardashian-Jenner family.

“I was kinda seeing Tristan before Khloé. Before Khloé or any of them knew he existed. I was seeing him, I had him come to L.A., I brought him to a party Kim had. I introduced him to all of them,” Pippen shared.

Pippen also said that the NBA superstar began seeing Khloe around 10 days after he introduced him to them. But she maintains that she did not really care about Thompson moving on so quickly and that she is not the type that chases after men.

“I will never put a leash on a man. I don’t do that. I feel like, let you be great. If you want to be with other people, go ahead. I’m great by myself," Pippen said.

The 46-year-old, however, denied the rumors claiming that she and Thompson had a fling after he pursued Khloe, saying that she is “the most honest person in the world.” Pippen also said that it’s not in her to lie about something like that.

“I would never do that. That’s not even my personality,” she said. “I applaud [Khloé and Tristan] for working things out. I think it’s great they are trying to work on their relationship. I’m really proud of them.”

Apart from Thompson and Khloe, Pippen also talked about her falling out with the Kardashians. It was in summer when avid fans of the reality show family noticed that the Kardashian-Jenner clan unfollowed her on Instagram.

Pippen claimed that Kanye West, Kim’s husband, had something to do with the falling out. She said that the rapper kept calling her late at night so she blocked him, making him “upset.”

“So, he turned that into, 'Oh, she's this and she’s that.' [The Kardashians] all started to ride his wave. If you’re that easily swayed, like the wind, then do I really give a f--k? Should I give a f--k? I don't know,” Pippen said.
