Khloé Kardashian has declared her ex-husband Lamar Odom “dead to me” after watching his Netflix documentary.
The Good American co-founder, 42, unloaded on Odom, 47, during a confessional on Thursday’s episode of “The Kardashians,” saying she regretted sitting for interviews in his film as an unpaid favor. Kardashian participated in “Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom” at the former NBA star’s request, only to find herself blindsided by comments he made about their marriage while she was “on the other side of these interviews.”
“I did watch the Lamar documentary. I’m not too thrilled about it,” she said on the Hulu series. “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 ’cause I’m trying to be nice. There’s so many things that I just found really distasteful.”
Kardashian singled out Odom’s claims that he had not really been in love with her and that he married her so he “could be more popular in pop culture.” She called the remarks “so weird” and questioned his timing and motive for making them with her cooperation secured.
“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 continued. “There’s no more rope left to throw over. So he is dead to me.”
The reality star then broadened her anger beyond Odom himself. “This just solidifies what liars, con artists, cheats, thieves, trolls that men are. I just don’t wanna be involved. Play with yourself, don’t play with me,” she said.
The documentary, which Netflix released in March, features Odom explaining that he targeted Kardashian’s lifestyle and connections when pursuing her. “I’m watching how she lives and their lifestyle. I’m like, ‘This is how I want to live,'” he said in the film. The two-time NBA champion also claimed that Kardashian was not the one who helped him after his near-fatal overdose at a Nevada brothel in 2015.
Odom’s daughter Destiny, whom he shares with childhood sweetheart Liza Morales, offered a partial defense of her father in the documentary. She said he did “love” Kardashian but “had wanted to be on reality TV for a long time.”
Kardashian and Odom met at a party in 2009 and married weeks later. She filed for divorce in 2013, then paused the proceedings after his 2015 overdose left him in a coma. Kardashian refiled in May 2016, and the divorce was finalized that December. Since then she has co-parented her two children with ex Tristan Thompson while building her clothing brand.
The former couple’s brief courtship and televised wedding made them fixtures of E! Network programming in the early 2010s, with Odom appearing regularly on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and the couple landing their own spinoff, “Khloé & Lamar,” which ran for two seasons.
Kardashian’s harsh assessment on Thursday’s episode marks a sharp reversal from her willingness to participate in the documentary, which she now characterizes as a one-sided exploitation of her goodwill. The “burned” bridge she described leaves no apparent path for reconciliation.
Odom has not publicly responded to Kardashian’s remarks.
