Baller Alert Entertainment & Lifestyle 
Nearly two years after the kiss heard around the world, Jordyn Woods is thriving with new deals, new friends, and a brand new baller boo, Karl Anthony Towns.
But, her journey wasn’t always easy after the alleged cheating scandal between her and Tristan Thompson drove a wedge between Woods and her longtime best friend, Kylie Jenner. It also sparked an online bullying campaign against Woods, which forced Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith to level the playing field.
But now, more than a year after the incident, Woods is opening up about the drama and how she overcame the public shame and scrutiny.
“I remember just sitting in a very dark place. I had my family to talk to, I had you to talk to, but I just felt like I had no one,” West told host Natalie Manuel Lee on her YouTube series. “You take everything you think you know for a whole decade, the people you think you know, the life you think you know, everything that you’ve grown up doing, and you take it all away from someone. I didn’t even know how to feel.”
“I deleted everything off of my phone. I wouldn’t respond to anyone. I responded to about two people. I pushed people away that probably shouldn’t have been pushed away, but I just couldn’t trust anyone. C” she said.
But, after Woods was able to take accountability for her own actions, she was then able to accept it and move on.
“Looking at the situation, ‘Okay what did I do, what role did I play in this, how was I responsible, how can I be held accountable, how can I take responsibility for what happened?’ Things happen, and that’s what makes us human,” she said. “But just acceptance and accountability, and when you can’t accept what you’ve done, or you can’t accept that, then you can’t heal from.”
“It’s easy to beat yourself up over things that you could have done differently. But you can’t hold on to what you could have or should have done, you just have to accept what actually happened, and then you can let it go. It might take you a month to let it go, it might take you a year to let it go, but you have to start praying to be able to let it go,” she added.
While Woods has moved on from her longtime relationship with the Kardashian-Jenner klan, she still feels bad for what transpired, although she’s grateful for how it’s helped her grow.
“I’m not happy that people were hurt, and people had to go through what they went through,” she said. “It was a lot for everyone, my family, other families, friends, and not in a million years have I had a negative intention to do something bad to anyone I love. I wouldn’t say I’m happy something like that happened, but I’m happy I was able to become who I am today.”
As the interview continued, Woods also opened up about her father’s 2017 passing from cancer.
“I’ve gone through, these past three years, some of the most traumatic experiences a person can go through. When your whole world feels like its crumbling down, everything you thought you knew, it’s really to be rebuilt again but much stronger.”
“A lot can happen in one year, a lot,” she said. “Over months, and losing everything I thought I knew and gaining so much knowledge, you just can only be happy. The amount of strength I’ve gained in this year alone, nothing else could have shaped me to the person I am today.”
