Tristan Thompson Shares His Two Cents On Klay’s Drama

Tristan advised that when someone shares their side, one of the best move could also be to remain quiet quite than add more fuel to the situation.
“If you happen to speak up, you give it more legs,” Tristan said throughout the interview, adding that responding creates one other opportunity for the general public to proceed discussing the situation. He also reflected on his own experiences with public relationship controversies, saying he believes men should avoid going forwards and backwards publicly when personal issues are involved. “You permit them to take one other day to discuss it. If she desires to say something, let her do whatever she desires to do. As a person, keep your mouth quiet. Because I’ve never went on the market and defended myself since it’s just not what we do,” he shared.
