Jordyn Woods seems to be doing just fine without the backing of the Kardashian clan. Earlier this year, she found herself engulfed in one of the biggest controversies of 2019 so far after reports emerged claiming that she hooked up with Khloe Kardashian's ex, Tristan Thompson. She was exiled from the Kardashian-Jenner clan, later moving out of Kylie's home. She spoke on the incident on Jada Pinkett Smith's Red Table Talk but during a panel at Nigeria's Homecoming Festival, Woods seemingly addressed the controversy again.

Jordyn Woods has been relatively low key over the years but the Tristan Thompson scandal placed a major spotlight on her name. She faced a lot of criticism while also being championed by others but the negatives always stand out. Woods explained how she felt bullied by the world after the scandal broke out.

"My little sister was bullied in school and I wanted to show her that I was bullied by the world," Woods said. "I understood for the first time what it’s like being a black woman — in a just society, how we can be so disrespected and nobody can really understand to that extent until you have to live it.”

Her relationship with the Kardashians might be strained right now but Woods, as well as her mother, have made it clear that they have no hard feelings towards Kylie.
