When Tristan Thompson's alleged fling Lani Blair sidestepped questions about NBA star: “I just want to have a good time tonight"
Tristan Thompson has been involved in a lot of drama over the past few years. According to reports, the former NBA champion allegedly cheated on Khloe Kardashian several times, which eventually led to their breakup.
The 6-foot-9 forward has been involved with many women, including Lani Blair, a popular Instagram model. Tristan and Lani were allegedly seen kissing each other, just a few days before Khloe gave birth to their daughter, True.
The Instagram model did not want to be bothered by this. When asked about Thompson, Lani refused to mention the basketball star. Instead, she focused on having a good time at her birthday party.
Tristan Thompson allegedly cheated on Khloe Kardashian with Lani Blair
Tristan's alleged affair with Lani began in a cocktail bar in New York City. The basketball player was filmed appearing to kiss the Instagram model in a bar, just days before the birth of his daughter.
Lani and Tristan held onto each other and seemed to be having a great time at the bar. Shortly after, the two were spotted arriving at a hotel, with Lani leaving at 8 am.
Lani Blair, however, refused to comment on the alleged cheating scandal. In June 2018, the popular model celebrated her birthday in Las Vegas and was asked about the basketball player.
“I just want to have a good time tonight," Lani replied when she was asked about Tristan Thompson. "I don’t even want to get into that."
“It’s not even on my mind. It’s my birthday. It’s my birthday weekend," the Instagram model added. "I’m here to have a good time. I’m not even thinking about that right now."
While it's almost 100% confirmed that the basketball player cheated with Lani Blair, the model refused to talk about this, which was probably the right choice.

The scandal didn't seem to ruin Tristan's relationship with Khloe Kardashian. The two stayed together, and after a brief separation in 2019, they had a lot of good times during the coronavirus lockdown.
Unfortunately, Tristan cheated on the reality TV star a few more times, which eventually led to their breakup.
Where is Thompson now?
Tristan Thompson last played for the Chicago Bulls, averaging 5.7 points and 4.7 rebounds. However, he is currently a free agent and no one knows if he will return to the NBA.

The big man is only 31 and many teams in the league could use his services. He is a decent scorer and a fantastic rebounder, but he may not be interested in playing basketball anymore.
There were rumors of Thompson retiring after the 2021-22 season, and considering that he is still a free agent, he may have decided to call it quits.
