Lamar Odom’s Comments Have Left Khloe Kardashian Fuming; ‘He’s Dead to Me’
Khloé Kardashian is letting everyone know that she is not happy with the comments made about her in Lamar Odom’s Netflix documentary.
Kardashian has opened up about their marriage and the former NBA player’s struggles in the past. But now viewers are hearing her talk about what she thought of her ex-husband’s documentary Untold: The Death and Life of Lamar Odom during a confessional on the Nov. 12 episode of The Kardashians.
Odom’s documentary chronicled much of his life, including his marriage to Kardashian and how she was by his side during his recovery after his near-fatal overdose in 2015. But the remarks made in the doc about why he married her ticked her off.
During her confessional, on the latest episode of her family’s reality show, the Good American founder said, “I’m not too thrilled about it because I’m watching the documentary, and I’m like, ‘Wait, I took time out of my life to sit here and do a favor for you. I’m not being paid. I’m doing this because I’m trying to be nice.’ There’s so many things that I just found really distasteful.”
“You’re saying that you weren’t really in love with me. You married me just so you could be more popular in pop culture, all these things, which is so weird. Even if that is your truth, why don’t you say it without me being on the other side of these interviews? I just thought that was really, really lame.”
She added: “I don’t need [him] to thank me. Just don’t talk about me. Don’t discredit me. The bridge is burned, and there’s no more rope left to throw over. So he is dead to me. It’s OK. This just solidifies what liars, con artists, cheats, thieves, and trolls that men are. I just don’t want to be involved. Play with yourself, don’t play with me.”
Kardashian did appear in the documentary. She agreed to be interviewed as a favor without pay to share her side of what happened. However, she later expressed regret about that when Odom did his press tour and countered some of the things she said.
After the documentary premiered, Odom insisted that he did not marry Kardashian for clout because he didn’t “need to,” telling Louis Ruggiero on his podcast, Nothing’s Off the Table, “I didn’t need more clout … I didn’t really need anybody, you know, at that time. Right before I was getting married, I was in a relationship with an A-plus actress.”
Kardashian and Odom met in August 2009 at a party in Los Angeles. The two developed a relationship quickly and got engaged just weeks after meeting. They tied the knot on Sept. 27, 2009, in a lavish ceremony at a private estate in Beverly Hills. The two appeared together on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and later in their own spin-off show, Khloé & Lamar, which premiered in April 2011 and ran for two seasons.
Some of their marital issues became public, and Kardashian filed for divorce on Dec. 13, 2013, citing irreconcilable differences. However, she paused the divorce proceedings after Odom was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel. He was hospitalized in critical condition and faced a lengthy recovery. Kardashian was able to make medical decisions throughout his recovery. She filed for divorce again on May 26, 2016, and it was finalized in December of that year.
