Khloé Kardashian has been open in the last few years about how traumatic her marriage to Lamar Odom was. She’s spoken on the topic multiple times, but there are still more stories to tell. During a recent episode of the family’s reality series, The Kardashians, Khloé and her mom, Kris Jenner, recalled tracking Lamar down at a “circle jerk” during the height of his substance abuse struggles. Kris was along for the ride, dressed in a black hoodie and beanie. While Kris shared the story, Khloé claimed Kris spent part of it hiding in the bathroom.

Kris and Khloé share a wild story about Lamar Odom

Kris was feeling positively chatty during the latest episode of The Kardashians, and she opted to tell a story about helping Khloé track down Lamar. In a filmed scene, Kris said that after Khloé learned Lamar was smoking crack, the two decided to “extract” him from the situation because he was being “held hostage by these hookers.”

“We were in the hotel going down the hallways, and Khloé’s security burst into this room,” Kris said. Khloé jumped in to share the rest of the story, revealing she walked in on a “circle jerk” involving about 20 people. According to Khloé, she told everyone to leave and “started swinging.” Kris, meanwhile, recalled “swiping all of the drugs” into the trash, though Khloé remembered her mom “hiding in the bathroom.”

While Khloé took part in the story, she admitted she was surprised her mother brought up what she called the “crack cocaine story” on camera at all.

Khloé has closed a painful chapter

Khloé married Lamar in September 2009, just a month after they met, and the couple starred in their own reality series, Khloé & Lamar. She filed for divorce in December 2013 amid reports of Lamar’s infidelity and drug use, but the divorce wasn’t finalized until 2016.

In between, Lamar nearly died. In October 2015, he was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel and later said he suffered 12 strokes and six heart attacks. He spent three days in a coma and required months of rehabilitation. Khloé stayed by his side during his recovery, but the couple didn’t reconcile.

Khloé has spoken openly about that era in recent months, both on her podcast and in a documentary. In the 2026 Netflix documentary Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, she described searching for him “in alleys” and motels when he left rehab and cleaning up hotel rooms after him “so that housekeeping didn’t sell a story.”

Despite all of that, Khloé appeared to maintain a semi-cordial relationship with Lamar until recently. Now, any lingering goodwill between the exes appears to be gone. After Lamar claimed he married Khloé for her fame, she said on an April episode of her podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, that she was no longer speaking to him. “The bridge is burned, and I have no more rope left to throw over. Period,” she told Kris, adding that she expected her family to cut ties with him, too.

Lamar has not publicly commented on the episode.
