Jordyn Woods has publicly spoken out for the first time since rumors surfaced that she was romantically involved with Khloé Kardashian's partner, Tristan Thompson, at a party on February 17, 2019.

In a Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith on March 1, Woods officially denied rumors that she and Tristan had a romantic relationship, and she denied that anything beyond a kiss had happened the night of the party. Woods was candid about what led up to the allegations that she'd made out with Tristan. "I feel like I can't point fingers, and I can't say you did this, or you did this, because I allowed myself to be in that position. There was alcohol involved. I was drunk, but I was not beyond the point of recollection," she said, before saying that Tristan did kiss her on her way out of the party.

"He did kiss me," she said. "It was a kiss on the lips, but no tongue kiss, no making out. And I don't think he's wrong either, because I allowed myself to be in that position." Afterward, she got in the car to leave. "I didn't know how to feel. I was like, that didn't just happen. I got in the car and I was like, that didn't happen. I was just like, I need to go. I was in shock. I was like, did this, really? Lemme just pretend like that didn't happen."

Woods did reveal that she'd not been honest with Kardashian when asked about the events of the party. "She asked me what was going on, is everything fine," Woods said. "And I was just like, no he was chilling, everything was OK. There were girls there, but he wasn't all over the girls. I was honest about being there, but I wasn't honest about the actions that had taken place."

When Smith asked Woods why she hadn't told the truth, she said it was because she didn't want to "throw more fuel on the fire" with the "turmoil" of Thompson and Kardashian's relationship. "I know I was trying to protect Khloé's heart," she said. "She doesn't deserve this either. The last thing I want to do was be that person. I'm no home wrecker. I would never try to hurt someone's home, especially someone that I love, someone that has a beautiful daughter."

She also clearly denied she and Thompson had ever had sex. In explaining her story to Smith, she called out the media for its treatment of her and her family. "I've seen what has been done to my life in only a week because of how the media circulates," Woods said. "They don't put their focus on real-world problems. They put their focus on a young black woman who made a mistake, and not a mistake that's work public crucifixion. It's a mistake that should've been dealt with internally...we can't leave the house. My brother can't go to work. My sister can't go to school — she's 12 years old. My mom can't even go to the grocery store."

She added that despite the social media surveillance and backlash she has received, "I'm not here to play the victim, I'm here to take responsibility. And when I was asked about that night, I didn't tell the truth to the people that I love. Not because of malicious intent. But because I was just scared."
