Tristan Thompson has some serious explaining to do.
The Cleveland Cavaliers player was caught on camera cozying up to a woman, who has since been identified as Lani Blair, in a New York City nightclub on April 7, 2018 while pregnant girlfriend Khloe Kardashian was at home, days away from giving birth.
The 27-year-old, who’s wearing a hood and has his back to the camera, appears to share several kisses with the Instagram-famous young lady, who works as a bartender at a strip club.

Tristan Thompson and Lani Blair were spotted entering the Four Seasons hotel in New York City together after kissing at PH-D Lounge
Sources said Tristan and Lani weren’t exactly keeping a low profile at the venue.
‘They were holding each other and it was so obvious…Everybody knew who he was,’ one source told MailOnline.
‘We talked about it and everybody watched them make out several times.’
The two were later spotted entering the hotel Tristan and his teammates were staying at and she allegedly left the next day carrying an overnight bag.
So what do you need to know about Lani Blair? Here’s the scoop.
Who is Lani Blair?
Lani Blair is an Instagram-famous personality who works at a strip club in Queens, New York. She’s a bartender at the club.
She has more than 300,000 followers on the social media platform, though she’s made her profile private amid the recent scandal.
She’s believed to be about 28 years old.
Tristan Thompson cheating
The drama began when MailOnline obtained footage of Tristan Thompson and Lani Blair seemingly kissing inside PH-D Lounge in New York City.
The same woman was photographed making her way inside the Four Seasons with Tristan by her side. Sources said the two were together for about four hours before the NBA player emerged in a new outfit.
Page Six reported that Tristan and Lani went to Soho House, a private club in Manhattan, before returning to the hotel Tristan and his teammates were staying in in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
Lani was spotted leaving the hotel Monday night with a Louis Vuitton overnight bag in tow.
The Instagram model isn’t the only woman Tristan’s thought to have cheated on Khloe with during her pregnancy, however.
Amid news of their sordid affair, a sex tape allegedly of the basketball player and another woman was posted on Instagram by another woman who claims to have slept with him the same weekend.
The woman, who quickly deleted the explicit video, also posted a series of sexy text messages she alleged Tristan sent her. In one of the messages, Tristan allegedly wrote, ‘I would pull ya hair and kiss you than [SIC] rip ya clothes off’.
The video and text exchange was posted by @ms.stephaniee on Tuesday. Her account is now private as well.
It doesn’t stop there, however.
Video has emerged of Tristan kissing and motor boating two women in a hookah lounge near Washington D.C. on October 7, 2017, when Khloe was three months pregnant, according to TMZ.
Tristan Thompson Instagram
While the scandal continues to play out, Tristan has posted on Instagram. On Tuesday, he posted a photo of himself modeling a pair of sunglasses.
His comments have been overtaken by angry Kardashian fans, calling him ‘DISGUSTING’ and shaming him for allegedly cheating on pregnant Khloe Kardashian.
It appears Khloe and the rest of her famous family have unfollowed Tristan on the social media platform.
Tristan Thompson-Jordan Craig
Tristan Thompson’s ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig has spoken out amid allegations against her former beau, with whom she shares a child.
Craig posted the following message on her Instagram story: ‘If your respect yourself and you respect others, you would never make light of the misfortune of anyone, nor would you feel indemnified when it comes at the expense of others.
‘Wishing peace for everyone.’
Tristan’s rumored to have cheated on Craig with Khloe Kardashian in 2016. At the time, she was pregnant with Tristan’s first child, Prince Oliver.
Tristan Thompson-Khloe Kardashian relationship timeline
Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian have been dating since autumn 2016. The pair were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend.
In December 2017, they publicly announced that they were expecting their first child together. Months later, during an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the couple revealed that they were expecting a baby girl.
Per one particularly savvy sleuth, the couple shared the news with their family on August 25, 2017. The footage of Tristan canoodling with two women in a Washington D.C. hookah lounge was shot roughly a month and a half later on October 7, 2018.
The Twitter user noted that that same day, Khloe posted a Snapchat about leaving Cleveland in a rush by herself.
Days later, she filmed a Keeping Up With the Kardashians scene where she took a pregnancy test to confirm that she was pregnant.
Khloe is currently nine months pregnant with the child. She has not addressed the drama on social media or otherwise.
The last photo Khloe posted on Instagram was of her and Tristan kissing. In the caption, she urged her daughter to make a speedy entrance into the world.
‘We are ready whenever you are little mama,’ she wrote.
