Khloe Kardashian recently shut down a report that she and Tristan Thompson are planning an engagement. And in doing so, she directly addressed the allegations that True's father cheated on her.

The new mom replied to a commenter on Instagram who accused her of "acting like Tristan didn't cheat."

"I'm not acting as if Tristan didn't cheat," Kardashian wrote. "I'm saying the story about marriage and anyone insinuating that they know what we speak about privately is 'crap.' Not upset by commenters. Not upset by anything. Only pointing out when blogs create stories for you all to believe when it's just simply untrue."

While this is not an explicit confirmation of the allegations, it's the most direct statement from Kardashian herself since photos and videos surfaced in April of Thompson apparently kissing other women. In the months since, the couple has apparently returned to romance as usual.

While the couple may be going strong, Kardashian called reports of an impending marriage "crap" and "ridiculous." 

"Who makes up this crap you guys post?? This is how slow the news is? You need this ridiculous story?? What a waste," she commented beneath an Instagram post from blogger Perez Hilton. "If you must write such crap please stop tagging me at least!"

She also replied to a commenter who wrote that "it's pathetic" to see Kardashian "become weak" for Thompson's benefit.

"It's truly sad that you believe blogs and then actually take the time to comment on someone else's life," Kardashian wrote.

Kardashian and Thompson have been together for nearly two years, since they first stepped out as a couple in September 2016. They welcomed their first child together in April 2018.

Despite the reports of infidelity, baby True was given Thompson's last name, which appeared to some as an indication that the couple had decided to move forward. In the months since True's birth, Kardashian and Thompson have been spotted out together on numerous occasions — and are currently enjoying their very first "family vacay." 

A representative for Kardashian didn't immediately respond to INSIDER's request for comment.
