The controversial comments sparked an intense debate on parenting.

After Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson announced they are expecting their first child as a couple, the two have been subjected to a new whirlwind of social media scrutiny. Not only has the Cleveland Cavaliers center been criticized by strangers for his relationship with the reality star, but he has also been slammed by his own family. 

According to MTONews, Tristan's father commented on a photo posted by the NBA star's ex, Jordy Craig. Sixteen months ago, Jordy shared an image while she was pregnant with Tristan's first son, Prince Oliver.

She captioned the photo:

“Although watching and feeling you grow every day has made my pregnancy such an unforgettable, magical experience … words cannot express how anxious and excited I am to finally meet you![…] Mommy loves you so much. Muah-Muah-Muah!!!!”

  • After one Instagram user suggested little Prince Oliver "will one day question his father," Tristan's dad came in with a reply
