We all make mistakes. But when we do, we usually don’t read about them online the next day. But the same can’t be said for Jordyn Woods. The social media star had a pretty sweet life before it got all screwed up thanks to a cheating allegation. After getting caught kissing Khloé Kardashian’s boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, she was promptly cut out from the family. And that’s a big deal, as she was pretty much living with the Kardashians at the time as Kylie Jenner’s live-in BFF.

Cheating is one thing. But having it incessantly talked about in tabloids is another. And this wasn’t the first cheating allegation that Thompson had, but the others weren’t linked to a once-trustworthy family friend. Woods was in a lot of Jenner’s online videos and also appeared on Keeping Up With The Kardashians a couple of times. Having the world know that Jenner’s close friend would betray the family made this scandal even more heated.

Woods has tried to grow from the incident, but it doesn’t mean she still doesn’t have strong feelings about it. She chatted with Cosmopolitan UK about everything that went down, and it’s an intriguing read.

For one, it’s important to remember that Woods is only 21 — even though because of the scandal she says she feels much older.

Woods states that Thompson kissed her on the way out from a party. At the time, she didn’t know how to feel about what happened.

“I didn’t know how to feel. I was like, ‘That didn’t just happen.’ I [told him] ‘I need to go.’ I was leaving already so I walked out immediately,” she told Cosmopolitan. When she got back in her car, she was reportedly in total shock.

Even though Woods states that Thompson was the one who kissed her first, she’s the one who was targeted online. It’s almost as if fans felt Thompson was innocent, despite photographic proof that he had strayed from Khloé Kardashian before.

Speaking of, Kardashian was one of the first to spout out vitriol about Woods online. To be fair, she not only has an image to maintain — she’s also has to maintain a family with her now-ex.

“Why are you lying @jordynwoods?? If you’re going to try and save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGISE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story,” Kardashian notably typed after the scandal was revealed.

Those harsh words actually brought some sympathy for Woods. It’s amazing how women always seem to get blamed first in situations like this.

Still, the Kardashians cut Woods off after things went public. Even just the change of lifestyle must have been hard for Woods to adapt to at first.

“You know that saying, ‘I feel so alone in a room full of people’? I went through a phase of thinking, ‘I’m going to isolate myself, because I don’t know how I feel,” Woods admitted to Cosmopolitan UK. “I don’t know what the right thing to do is.”

Not only did Woods lose her best friend, but her reputation took a hit. Social media was such a big part of her life back then that it was extra hurtful to see the negative comments pour in.

“It becomes addictive to look on the internet, to look at your name. When I would look at my name and see all of the things that people were saying, it became like a tumor,” Woods admitted. “It became cancerous to me.”

Regardless of whether or not you love Woods, you have to admit — that’s a lot for one person to handle. Fans only know what they read in headlines, and the words that the Kardashians and Jenners put out have slightly more reach than most.

Sure, people seemed to talk Khloé Kardashian down from her hurtful tweet. But it and the backlash it caused still exist. And it’s gaining more exposure every day, meaning that more people will associate Woods with the cheating scandal.

The Kardashians usually approach things differently when it comes to scandals and secrets. For one, there was Jenner’s whole secret pregnancy that was never revealed.

This incident, which was still shocking to most, could have also been downplayed. Woods and Jenner could have separated for standard reasons, and Thompson could have just faded from the family. Kardashian was well-aware that the public already had a negative opinion of him. A separation wouldn’t be a huge shock.

Woods is keeping busy with her lines of beauty products and sportswear. She’s proven that she’s more than just Jenner’s ex-best friend.

The whole ordeal is a solid reminder that plenty of similar instances like this happen every day to regular people. But usually, a crowd of internet strangers doesn’t take the time to negatively comment about it.
