TRISTAN Thompson snubbed his infant son Theo in several story posts after his baby mama Maralee accused him of not paying child support.
The NBA player wished his daughter True a happy fourth birthday on Tuesday despite facing shade from his ex Khloe Kardashian and her family.
Tristan, 31, shared a series of story posts for his little girl’s special day, but not once did he mention his newborn son Theo, four months.
The athlete took to his Instagram to wish his daughter a happy birthday with a throwback photo of both True and her older brother Prince, five.
In the snap, the father of three crouched down beside the tiny tots as they all smiled for the camera.
Tristan captioned the shot: “Prince and daddy love you so much Tutu. We will always protect you,” with a red heart emoji.

However, the Chicago Bulls player made no mention of Theo, who he shares with his mistress Maralee Nichols.
SURPRISE BABY
Maralee gave birth to the baby boy on December 1st, and ever since has been embroiled in a legal battle against Tristan.
The new mom laid claim that her ex has not paid a dime in child support, despite her hefty demand of 47,000 a month.
HAPPY BDAY TRUE
The controversial dad wished True a happy birthday by sharing a series of memories in his stories.
But his ex Khloe Kardashian made sure to snub her ex from her own sweet social media tribute.
Tristan shared an adorable video of him lying in bed with his daughter, and she stroked his face as he kissed her gently on the cheek.
The NBA star added the text: “Happy Birthday momma I love you so Princess”, along with a heart emoji.
In another slide, he shared an image of the two together, in which he had cute fruit stickers on his face.
He added: “Can’t believe my baby is four”.
In a final slide, he showed True wearing a gaming headset, along with the text: “You will always be my number 1 pick in Fortnite duos momma.”
KARDASHIAN SNUB
Tristan’s outpouring comes after Khloe, 37, and her entire family snubbed Tristan Thompson in their tributes.
Each member of the Kardashian clan wished the young girl a happy birthday in their own way on Tuesday, but none posted pics that included, nor even mentioned, Tristan.
Good American founder Khloe gathered and shared heartfelt messages from her sisters and mother, while also posting some precious pics of her own.
Tristan has seemingly been ostracized from the family since fathering a baby with another woman.
He has been largely absent from the Kardashian spotlight since he admitted to cheating on Khloe with Maralee and fathering a son with the fitness model last December.
Fans even noticed the athlete was missing completely from True’s cat-themed birthday party on Sunday.
PUT ON BLAST
Viewers of the famous family’s upcoming Hulu series will likely learn more about the tensions that led up to and followed Tristan’s love child scandal when the season premieres on April 14th.
In an interview with Variety, Khloe previously addressed the topic, saying: “I wish I never had to talk about that because it’s not a fun thing to talk about”.
“But it is part of my journey in life, so we will see it on the show.”
CO-PARENT DISAGREEMENTS
Fans have also been out to get Tristan after an old clip resurfaced from Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
In the episode, the ex-couple appeared to be arguing about where their daughter should be living.
The basketball player asserted that True’s home was “in Cleveland” when Khloe argued that she was “going back home.”
The mother of one shot back: “The anxiety that I’m already having. Just stop. You’re not kidnapping her.”
The NBA star claimed: “Fathers cannot kidnap their daughters if their mother knows where they already are.”
While he voted for True to stay in Cleveland, the E! star argued: “When we were together, that would have been a great solution but you were a lot of anti-things then.”

FAN BACKLASH
The fan captioned their post: “Tristan is relentless. Khloe was dropping off True in Cleveland for a few days.”
Others raced to the comments to rip Tristan, calling his behavior “immature.”
