NEWSKris Jenner Slammed for 'Betraying' Daughter Khloé Kardashian by Getting Cheater Tristan Thompson a Job at ESPN
Kris Jenner might forgive Tristan Thompson for his cheating past, but does Khloé Kardashian forgive her mom for highly praising the man who hurt her most?
During the Thursday, October 12, episode of The Kardashians, Jenner spoke fondly of Thompson and seemed to excuse his numerous acts of infidelity toward her own daughter.
Kris Jenner assisted Tristan Thompson in getting a job at ESPN.
"We know Tristan has made some mistakes. I know he’s really sorry for the way that he hurt Khloé, and I’m sure that he regrets all of those mistakes every single day," expressed Jenner.
The 67-year-old also admitted she's concerned Kardashian's home is going to feel empty without Thompson after he lived there for a short period of time because his home suffered damages from extreme flooding.
Tristan Thompson infamously cheated on Khloé Kardashian numerous times.
"Really, the most important thing for everyone right now is raising those kids. And I worry that Khloé, with this change of Tristan moving out, there is gonna be a void there," Jenner said of her daughter, who has been outspoken about not having plans to rekindle her romantic relationship with Thompson after he burned her one too many times.
At one point during the episode, Jenner and the NBA star's bond was put on full display, as Thompson was shown helping the mom-of-six clean and organize the kitchen.

"Kris getting Tristan a deal with ESPN??? After he not once, twice but betrayed your daughter 3x plus in her most vulnerable state. It’s beyond weird & the ultimate breaking of trust between a daughter and mother," one social media user expressed.
Another critic questioned: "How have they continued to fold this betrayer into their family and business and to promote him? They don't need to hate him but why continue to embrace this man who has damaged their flesh and blood so deeply?"
