Jordyn Woods Asked During Lie Detector Test If She Slept With Tristan Thompson
Looks like the ‘Blurred Lines’ copyright case is not over yet. Earlier this year, a federal
appeals court upheld a $5 mil- lion verdict against Pharrell Williams, Robin Thicke and their publisher over the 2015 case where the estate had accused the artists of in- fringing on the copyright of Gaye’s hit ‘Got To Give It Up’. They had claimed that ‘Blurred Lines’, one of the biggest hits of this decade, copied elements from Gaye’s song without credit.
They were eventually or- dered to pay $5 million in damages as well as award 50% royalties on the track forever to the late singer’s estate. However, there is now a new update in the case. Marvin Gaye’s family has filed a mo- tion in front of U. S. District Court Judge John Kron-
stadt, requesting to revisit the case in light of new circum- stances. What are the circum- stances? They claim that in a new interview between Phar- rell and Rick Rubin in GQ, the hitmaker admitted that he “reverse engineers” on songs from which he gets a special feeling. “I did that in ‘Blurred Lines’ and got myself in trou- ble,” he further told Rick Rubin during the interview.
During his deposition in the original lawsuit, Williams claimed under oath, “I did not go in the stu- dio with the intention of mak- ing anything feel like, or to sound like, Marvin Gaye.”
Gaye’s family says this is a clear evidence of perjury and is a “fraud” against the court. They are asking for further $3.5 million in legal fees.
Both Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson admit- ted to getting a little too close for comfort back when the NBA player was dating Khloé Kardashian, but neither con- fessed to rumors that they were actually intimate with one another.
In a year-end clip from the Facebook Watch series “Red Table Talk” released Tuesday, host Jada Pinkett Smith re- veals that Woods took a lie detector test during her March episode, where she was asked pointedly whether she had had sex with the Cleveland Cava- lier.
“Jordyn did take a lie de-

tector test and it was Jordyn’s request,” Smith explained. “It was her request to be here and it was her request to take the lie detector test. We had a forensic polygraphist with over 25 years of experience in crim- inal and civil investigations.”
“I just want everyone to
know that I’m telling the truth and that’s the most important part of the story for me, is the truth,” Woods said of her rea- sons for taking it. After being asked a few baseline questions by Shon Thurman, she was asked, “Did you have sexual in- tercourse with Tristan Thompson?”
“No,” she replied.
After two hours, Thurman told Woods, “You definitely passed and I believe you’re being truthful on the test.”
Pass or fail, Kardashian is over the drama, taking to In- stagram last week to officially forgive both Woods and her ex, Thompson.
