Jordyn Woods is speaking up and out.

As widely reported, the model/socialite became embroiled in a messy scandal after it emerged she publicly made out with Tristan Thompson – Khloe Kardashian‘s partner and baby father.

Easy headline fodder, the machine kicked in and Woods was branded a home-wrecker (despite Thompson’s well documented penchant for cheating). Indeed, just moments ago Kardashian took aim at Woods – who was longtime best friends with her sister Kylie Jenner. 

Now, in a bid to clear through the clutter and sanitize her name, Woods sat down with Jada Pinket-Smith on her Facebook Watch show ‘Red Table Talk’ to tell all.

Commendably, Jada didn’t shield the fact she has known Woods since childhood and that their families are. She also didn’t shy away from addressing the matter head on.
