Khloé Kardashian Chronicles Dark Moment with Lamar Odom in Recent Podcast
While a lot of things seem to come easily to the Kardashian family, love doesn’t seem to be one of them. Over the years, reality TV cameras have captured the ups and downs of their romantic journeys. Khloé Kardashian, in particular, has let the world in on her most crushing moments, but apparently, there was a lot more that went on behind the scenes. In a particularly vulnerable moment, Khloé Kardashian revealed that her marriage to Lamar Odom was so deeply troubled by his drug use that he burned all of her journals because of his paranoia. She recalled sobbing over the lost mementos.
Khloé Kardashian recalled the traumatic moment Lamar Odom burned her prized possessions
Khloé Kardashian has occasionally let fans and followers in and shared traumatic moments from her troubled, tumultuous marriage to Lamar Odom. In the years since the couple split, Khloé has felt comfortable sharing some of their more trying moments. Still, it sounds like she’s kept some stories to herself — until now at least. In a recent episode of Khloé in Wonder Land, the third Kardashian sister revealed the reason she stopped journaling. Odom is to blame.
During the podcast’s November 19 episode, Khloé revealed that she journaled for years as a way of documenting her life. During a particularly difficult period in their marriage, Khloé said Lamar Odom found the journals, read through them, and burned them in front of her. She recalled Odom claiming he burned the journals because he believed she was sending information about him to the government or “something crazy” like that.
Khloé was careful about how she described the incident, Odom’s motivations, and its impact on her later in life. Still, it’s easy to see that the incident was just one sad moment in an overall traumatic marriage. Odom has spoken openly about pining for his ex-wife in recent years. Khloé has made it clear she has no plans to revisit the romance. After this most recent story, it is easy to see why.
Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom relationship timeline
Khloé and Lamar’s whirlwind romance was marked by serious strains. Overall, they seemed happy together at first. The duo met in August 2009 and announced their engagement weeks later. They married just a month after their first date in a wedding ceremony that took everyone by surprise. Despite the romance’s quick pace, they seemed to settle into married life without incident.
Their marital bliss didn’t last too long. By 2012, it was clear that not everything was as great as it seemed. Rumors that Odom was cheating and using drugs took over headlines. The Kardashian family initially ignored the reports. Odom made it difficult for them to sweep his behavior under the rug, though. Khloé filed for divorce in December 2013, though it would not be finalized until 2016.
Khloé’s decision to pause the legal proceedings largely influenced the drawn-out divorce process. She paused the proceedings while Odom recovered from a medical emergency he suffered while at a brothel in Nevada in 2015. During his recovery, Khloé was responsible for making his medical decisions.
