TRISTAN Thompson has been slammed by fans for sending flowers to his ex Khloe Kardashian’s best friend, Malika Haqq.
In an Instagram Story on Thursday, Malika posted a photo of a huge bunch of white roses.
In the text, she tagged Tristan, 30, and wrote: “Thank you for my beautiful flowers.”
The bouquet arrived just in time for the Disney star’s 39th birthday on March 10th.
Fans on Reddit were quick to criticize the gesture from Tristan.
One wrote: “Is this something he’s doing in hopes of getting back with Khloe, like being nice to her BFF? Or is this weird, like he’s trying to get with her BFF?”

They continued: “I don’t know. Either way, it’s weird and maybe weird too that she chose to publicly acknowledge it on social media.”
Another agreed: “Weirdo. Why the f**k is he sending birthday flowers to Khloe’s friend?”
A third added: “How is this not crossing a line?”
Bestie Malika was a rock for Khloe, 37, as she dealt with the fallout from Tristan’s love child scandal in December last year.
The reality star was seen holding onto her actress friend as the two were snapped out in Los Angeles together.
ALL TOGETHER NOW
Earlier this week, Khloe was spotted at Malika’s birthday party as they hit up celebrity hotspot Craig’s in West Hollywood.
She wowed in a sheer Mugler dress through which onlookers could see her underwear.
She teamed the skimpy garment with black leather boots, a slouchy leather bag, and chunky sunglasses.
The mother of one shared several videos of their festivities inside the lavish venue on her Instagram Stories.
Malika and her twin Khadijah celebrated the special occasion with an extravagant cake in a huge martini glass decorated with rainbow sprinkles and sparklers.
TRISTAN’S LOVE CHILD
Tristan’s birthday bouquet for Malika might seem insensitive considering the fallout from his cheating scandal.
The NBA star was unfaithful to Khloe numerous times before welcoming a child with mistress Maralee Nichols in December.
The baby boy was conceived while Tristan was still in an exclusive relationship with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum.
Following months of silence regarding Tristan’s scandal, Khloe finally opened up about the subject during a cover story for Variety.
She said: “I wish I never had to talk about that because it’s not a fun thing to talk about.”
However, the star promised the topic will be discussed on the family’s new Hulu show.
Khloe said: “But it is part of my journey in life, so we will see it on the show.”
