According to the same article, Jordan Craig talked about her feelings toward the matter.
"This brought an enormous amount of negative, unwanted attention and stress into my life, and more critically, into my pregnancy," Craig said. "My obstetrician ordered me to be on bed rest due to high levels of stress that eventually caused me to have serious pregnancy complications."
Despite this, Craig has continued to raise their son, six-year-old Prince, without the presence of Thompson, outside the child support.
In 2018, Thompson was accused of cheating on Khloe Kardashian with Maralee Nichols while she was pregnant. Kardashian and Thompson called it quits in 2021, the same year Nichols gave birth to a baby boy.
