Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans are convinced rumours that Kylie Jenner’s best friend Jordyn Woods ‘hooked up with’ Khloe Kardashian’s boyfriend Tristan Thompson are part of a "publicity stunt" cooked up by Kris Jenner.

Woods, who lived with Jenner and her daughter Stormi before the scandal broke, is thought to have ‘got close’ to basketball player Thompson at a party in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Gossip site Hollywood Unlocked claimed that the pair were “all over each other it and wasn’t just friendly.”

Shortly after reports emerged, beauty entrepreneur Jenner cut prices on the 'Jordy' lip kit named after her best friend, which promptly sold out on the Kylie Cosmetics website.

Fans of the long-running reality series claimed that the timing was suspicious, and even suggested that the controversy was part of a “stunt” to boost viewing figures for the show’s next season, noting that Kardashian, her half-sister and her mother all still follow Woods on Instagram.

“Whole thing is a publicity stunt, their new season is coming up and every year the ratings go down so they need a fake scandal for some views,” one Twitter user wrote.

“I’m still waiting for Jordyn and Kylie to make up and this all being exposed as a publicity stunt for the new season of KUWTK,” another suggested.

“I did my own research… Jordyn Woods follows all the Kardashians. But all the Kardashians do not follow her, expect [sic] Kris and Kylie. Publicity stunt? I think so,” one weighed in.

“Khloe and Kylie are still following Jordyn on Instagram! Open your eyes people! THIS IS A PUBLICITY STUNT,” another fan agreed.

Standard Online has contacted representatives for the Jenners and Woods for comment.

Earlier today, a report from Us Weekly suggested that Jenner, 21, has no plans to cut off her best friend over the scandal.

“Jordyn and Kylie are sisters and inseparable best friends,” a source told the publication. “The family doesn’t expect them to not be friends any more. Time will dictate what happens here.”

Kardashian appeared to address the reports yesterday when she shared three heartfelt quotes on her Instagram Stories, one of which read: “The worst pain is getting hurt by a person you explained your pain to.”

Another added: “Somebody needs to hear this… That betrayal was your blessing!”

Thompson, meanwhile, branded the reports “fake news” in a now-deleted tweet.
