TRISTAN Thompson critics have blamed the “Kardashian curse” for the LA Lakers’ recent loss that eliminated them from the NBA playoffs.
The NBA star, who is the ex of Khloe Kardashian, played the Lakers’ last game of the season after being signed over to the team in early April.

Tristan took to the floor for just 10 minutes in Game 4 as the Lakers went down 113-111 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Some critics have voiced their theory on the Lakers’ loss, blaming the famous family and their infamous “curse” for the downfall.
The supposed curse pertains to the exes of the Kardashians whose careers have fumbled after their breakups.
After the team’s loss on Monday night, one person tweeted: “I did not know tristan thompson and khloe kardashian are back together. the kardashian curse helped the lakers downfall a bit too. thank u khloe.”
“Tristan Thomas on the Lakers = Kardashian Curse,” another claimed. “The Lakers never stood a chance.”
Another wrote: “Lebron brought the Kardashian curse to the Lakers this season by bringing Tristan Thompson!”
“Y’all shoulda left Tristan on the bench, Kardashian curse got LA,” wrote a fourth.
THE ORIGIN OF THE CURSE
According to TikTok users, the “Kardashian curse” is the theory that anyone who dates the Kardashian or Jenner ladies will have bad luck if they break up.
One clip on TikTok titled Scott and Kendall Research the Kardashian Curse showed Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian’s ex, telling Kendall Jenner about the curse.
The two visited a tarot reader who confirmed that he had been allegedly “cursed.”
The clip is from an old episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians from June 12, 2016, titled The Kardashian Curse.
During the final reunion of KUWTK, Kendall answered Andy Cohen’s question regarding whether the women believe in the curse.
She said: “What I don’t like about this narrative is that the blame is on us.”
ARE KHLOE AND TRISTAN TOGETHER?
During Season 2 of The Kardashians, fans watched Khloe learn of her baby daddy’s love child scandal.

Tristan welcomed a son named Theo with Maralee Nichols, 33, back in December 2021.
He had an affair with Maralee when he was supposedly mutually exclusive with Khloe – with whom he shares a daughter True and a baby son, Tatum.
Rumors have been swirling for weeks that the Good American founder and NBA star rekindled their romance.
Khloe, 38, recently took to her Instagram Story to share a meme about how difficult dating in 2023 can be.
The post read: “Dating in 2023 be like:,” and then featured a video.
In the clip, a woman was shown asking a man, “What do you do?” to which he responded, “I’m an astrophysicist.”
The woman appeared confused, hitting back: “Ok. I’m a Gemini.”
The star’s post appeared to suggest that she is actively dating which seemingly lays to rest any rumors that she and Tristan are back together.
Khloe also hit back at fans speculating about her relationship with Tristan after Kim was seen sitting courtside with North holding a sign bearing his name.
The photo was shared on a fan-run Instagram account where Khloe left an intense comment.
The photo that @khloelegend shared showed a question someone asked: “Kim supporting Tristian at the Lakers game… What is going on?”
“Allegedly, he’s back with Koko (Khloe),” the superfan’s reply said.
Khloe commented on the photo from her verified Instagram account: “Stop pushing this narrative. It’s tiring.”
She went on to say: “But I suppose You guys will continue the narrative you want regardless of what I say so what’s the point? It’s exhausting but I learned people will only understand to the level of their own perception.
