Tristan Thompson, NBA player for the Sacramento Kings, has filed for a gag order against Marley Nichols, the woman alleging he fathered her child. Thompson claims Nichols violated a verbal confidentiality order issued by the judge overseeing the paternity lawsuit.
Thompson Alleges Confidentiality Breach, Seeks Sanctions
The paternity suit, filed by Nichols against Thompson, originated in Houston, Texas. While the judge initially instructed both parties to maintain confidentiality regarding the case, Thompson asserts that Nichols has repeatedly violated this order. He points to her online activity, where she has publicly accused him of being the father and made disparaging remarks.
Thompson’s legal team is pursuing sanctions against Nichols for the alleged leaks. Additionally, he is requesting she pay $30,000 to be held in escrow as a deterrent against future violations of the potential gag order.
A History of Public Scrutiny
This is not the first time Thompson has found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The NBA star has been embroiled in public controversies surrounding previous relationships, including his high-profile relationship with Khloe Kardashian.
The ongoing legal battle and Thompson’s request for a gag order further fuel public interest in his personal life.
