Khloe Kardashian has said her former husband Lamar Odom is dead to her, after the comments he made about their marriage in his Netflix documentary. The Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom break came in the November 12 episode of The Kardashians on Hulu, when Kardashian spoke about watching Untold: The Death and Life of Lamar Odom, which was released on Netflix in March. Kardashian, 42, appeared in the documentary at Odom’s request, and she said she now regrets taking part in it.
The episode opened with Scott Disick, the former partner of Kardashian’s sister Kourtney, asking Kardashian if she had seen the documentary. Kardashian said she had watched it and was not happy with what she saw. She said she gave up time in her life to sit for the interview as a favor, without pay, because she was trying to be nice. She said she found many of the comments in the film really distasteful.
In the documentary, Odom, 47, said he married into the Kardashian family for the lifestyle. His friend Anthony Booker, known as Pumpkin, claimed Odom told him on the day of the wedding that he married Kardashian because the family had mad connections and he wanted to better his future. Kardashian said the comments landed as a claim that Odom had not truly loved her and had married her to gain fame in pop culture. The Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom marriage had been public from the start, and the remarks put it in a new light.
Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom comments upset her
Kardashian spoke about the remarks in a confessional during the episode. She said, “You are saying that you were not really in love with me. You married me just so you could be more popular in pop culture.” She added that the remarks were weird, and she asked why he would say them with her sitting on the other side of the interviews. She called the comments really, really lame. The Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom exchange shows how far apart their accounts of the marriage now sit.
She also spoke about the care she gave Odom after his near-fatal drug overdose in 2015. Odom was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel, and he stayed in a coma for three days. Kardashian put their divorce case on hold and took charge of his medical care. Disick said in the episode that there was a time when she was spoon-feeding him back to life. Kardashian said she does not need Odom to thank her, and she asked him to stop talking about her and to stop discrediting her. The Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom story turns on that care, since she gave it and he later played it down.
Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom bridge is burned
Kardashian closed the subject with a line that left no room for a repair. She said, “The bridge is burned and there is no more rope left to throw over. So he is dead to me.” She went on to say that the episode confirmed her view of men as liars, con artists, cheats, thieves and trolls, and she said she does not want to be involved. She added, “Play with yourself, do not play with me.”
The documentary also drew her anger for the way Odom spoke about his recovery. In the film, Odom said he recovered from the overdose because of God, and not because of the care Kardashian gave him. That account clashed with the role she played in his treatment, and Kardashian pointed to it as one more reason she found the film hard to watch. The Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom split now rests on two different accounts of the same years.
The Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom story so far
Kardashian and Odom married in September 2009, one month after they met. The wedding took place in Beverly Hills and was shown on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom marriage had been a public one from the start, and it ended in divorce after Odom’s overdose and the years of strain that followed it. Kardashian has two children, True, 8, and Tatum, 4, with her former partner Tristan Thompson.
This is not the first time Kardashian has spoken about the documentary. In July, she said on her podcast, Khloe in Wonder Land, that she felt dumb for taking part in the project. Odom then responded and said he did not marry her for more clout. The November 12 episode of The Kardashians shows that the exchange did not settle the matter, and Kardashian used the new episode to say the link between them is now closed. The Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom break is now stated on the show itself.
