Kendall Jenner Heckles Tristan Thompson, Gets Defended by Khloe

Khloe Kardashian's fans keep giving Tristan Thompson so much hate.

Now, her own family is part of that -- with Kendall Jenner actively booing Tristan as he played basketball.

Khloe's public response to Kendall is leaving fans scratching their heads and wondering how they're supposed to feel about Tristan.

Okay, there are several steps to this, so we'll tell it in order.

A video surfaced of Kendall Jenner booing Tristan Thompson as he played basketball.

He was at the free throw line, which means that he was givent he opportunity to try to shoot the ball through the hoop without interference.

Kendall was clearly and vocally trying to shake his concentratpion, yelling "boo, Tristan!"

She was not the only one.

But when this video came to people's attention, Khloe did not have the expected reaction.

"Look at my baby heckler," Khloe tweeted on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Khloe continued: "I’m dying at Kenny trying to heckle on the low low!"

(Reading that sentence is emotionally painful)

Khloe concluded her tweet with "#ItDidntWork," referring to the attempt by Kendall and the other hecklers to break Tristan's concentration.

Apparently Tristan is better at avoiding distractions when he's playing basketball than he is when he's in a monogamous relationship.

On Saturday, a fan pointed to Khloe's tweet, accusing the Kardashian of sending mixed messages.

"I’m confused by @!khloekardashian’s tweets," the fan confessed. "One minute she’s calling TT out, then she’s defending being in his life.

The tweet continued: "Then she’s laughing at her sisters heckling him. I just wanna know where we stand Koko so I know how to feel!"

"What he did was f--ked up and disgusting," Khloe acknowledges in her reply.

"What you’re watching is over seven months old," she reminds the fan.

Khloe then points out that, since then: "We have gone through countless hours of help."

Khloe then says that this was less about Kendall hating on Tristan and more about Kendall's relationship with Ben Simmons.

"My sister was watching HER man Play against my man…" Khloe explains.

Kendall's on-again, off-again thing with Ben is on again, which means that Kendall cheers him on -- and jeers at the opposition.

Even if the opposition happens to be the father of her niece.

"So," Khloe continues. "Of course she’s going to heckle the opposing team."

Khloe then asked, a little confrontationally: "Why are you confused?"

For his part, Tristan tweeted that Ben is his "bro" after Ben was spotted flipping him off on the court.

Tristan plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Ben Simmons plays for the Philadelphia 76ers (which, not being a sports person, I always forget is the team's real name because it's such a weird name).

Despite their rivalry on the court, Ben and Tristan ultimately have more in common than not.

That is, they're both twenty-something dudes who play professional basketball and are banging Kardashians.

Khloe seems to be a little frustrated that her fans don't know how to feel about Tristan.

At least, her "why are you confused?" question in that tweet reads as a little testy.

Right now, it appears that fans are torn.

Some want to see Khloe move on with someone who won't humiliate her.

This feeling is magnified now that they're witnessing her emotional distress on television instead of just in reports.

Others are willing to tentatively accept Tristan since Khloe seems to.

But then there are fans who aren't convinced that even Khloe knows what she really wants.
