Tristan Thompson’s rumored affair Sydney Chase has retained Gloria Allred as her attorney after calling her a “liar” during his own legal representation.
The NBA star had said that the 23-year-old model “lied” about having a months-long romantic relationship with him when he was back with the mother of his daughter True, Khloé Kardashian.
Thompson, 30, hired a legal team earlier this month after saying there was “no truth” to Chase’s claims of a sexual affair.
He then issued a cease-and-desist order alleging that Chase made “numerous false and defamatory statements” about Thompson on the “No Jumper” podcast, including an unprecedented claim about his manhood.
Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer wrote a letter to Chase stating, “It is obvious that you are a liar,” before adding, “Your claim that you had a relationship with Mr. Thompson is pure fiction.”
He wrote, “The purported texts you claim exist are equally fictitious, and they put words in my client’s mouth that he never said that are contrary to his thoughts and feelings. This is defamatory.”
Now, the Instagram model has followed suit and retained Allred, a well-known women’s rights attorney.
In a statement to PageSix, Allred said, “Our client, Sydney Chase, is outraged at what she regards as false statements that have been made about her in the media by Tristan Thompson’s representatives.” She said, “She has retained my law firm, Allred, Maroko & Goldberg, to represent her and to conduct a full investigation which she believes will substantiate the relationship between her and Tristan Thompson.”
The powerhouse legal expert continued: “Mr. Thompson’s representatives have challenged her to reveal evidence of their relationship. We would be willing to share evidence that Sydney has given us, provided that Mr. Thompson will make himself available in-person to answer my questions and provide us with documents that we request.” She explained, “If Mr. Thompson has nothing to hide, then we would expect that he will make himself available for questioning by me and that he will voluntarily provide the documents. Sydney would be willing to be present at this meeting to answer questions and provide documents.” She continued, “Khloé Kardashian is welcome to attend. We believe that the truth will emerge through this process. When we conclude our investigation, we will then advise Sydney regarding her legal options.”
Chase also stated on Instagram that she was not a liar and that she would not agree to Thompson’s attorney’s request.
“I finally received the cease & desist hours after I made my post online,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “It was first sent to an email I no longer use. However, I’m moving forward with the truth & am choosing not to comply.
She concluded, “I will not be called a liar.”
When asked whether she had proof of their alleged affair, Chase told Page Six, “Yes, I obviously do, but this is now a legal matter that lawyers will handle. Thanks.”
