Tristan Thompson is catching a lot of flack lately for being a deadbeat dad — and rightfully so! 

Now Caitlyn Jenner may have found the most elegant way to throw a little shade at Tristan, by praising all the dads in her life except him!

Caitlyn conspicuously snubbed Tristan in her Sunday Instagram post, a Father’s Day tribute to all the fathers in the Kardashian Clan.

"To all the dads in my life — Happy Father’s Day," Caitlyn writes in the post.

But we see that she doesn’t really mean all the dads, as she goes on to name check the specific fathers she wants to honor.

"Starting with my father, a World War Two Veteran," Caitlyn writes.

"Dad, Burt Brandon, Kanye, Rob, Scott, and Travis — Happy Father’s Day!"

The heartfelt post includes pics of all the fathers Caitlyn mentions in the caption.

Caitlyn’s own father, William Jenner, looks incredibly dashing in that World War Two era photo, as he poses in his fatigues.

The post also features shots of two of Caitlyn’s sons, Burt and Brandon, who both have children of their own.

Up next is a sweet black and white shot of Kanye and North West, looking fully tuckered out as she rides on her father’s shoulders.

Rob Kardashian is pictured along with his daughter Dream, and Travis Scott appears in a playful shot with Stormi Webster, his child with Kylie Jenner.

Caitlyn even threw in a blurry pic of Scott Disick and his daughter Penelope. Scott’s a disaster in a lot of ways, but shockingly not a terrible father.

The beautiful thing about Caitlyn’s Father’s Day burn is that it’s entirely between the lines. 

The post itself is full of sincerity and positivity toward the men in the Kardashian clan that have risen to the challenge of fatherhood.

But in leaving Tristan off the list, Caitlyn is tacitly making her feelings about him perfectly clear — Tristan is out of the band.

A few of Caitlyn’s daughters even got in on the action. 

Kim Kardashian commented lovingly on Caitlyn’s tribute, writing, "So Sweet! Happy Father’s Day," and adding three red heart emoji.

Kim’s elder sister Kourtney chimed in with a less emphatic "Happy Father’s Day," adding just one heart emoji.

Kendall Jenner posted her own Father’s Day tribute, an adorable throwback photo of the couple, captioned with a simple red heart.

Caitlyn’s own relationship with her children has occasionally been a rocky one, even before transitioning in 2015.

Notably, Caitlyn’s relationship with daughter Khloe became espcially fraught after the release of Caitlyn’s memoir, The Secrets of My Life

Khloe and Tristan share a one-year old daughter, True Thompson. Things didn’t end well for the couple after he was caught cheating multiple times. 

Of course, nobody mentions Tristan in the post. 

But between Tristan’s betrayal and her drama with Caitlyn, it’s clear why Khloe chose to sit this father’s day love-fest out.

Still, it’s heartwarming to see most of the Kardashian daughters come together publicly in support of their father.

That the interaction pointedly excluded someone who betrayed the family is just icing on the cake.
