Khloé Kardashian has a message for Lamar Odom: Leave her out of his story.
According to People,the reality star declared her ex-husband “dead to me” during the Nov. 12 episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, unloading on the former Los Angeles Lakers champion over comments he made about their marriage in his Netflix documentary. After years of defending Odom, including helping him recover from a near-fatal overdose, Kardashian says she’s finished extending him any more grace.
“The bridge is burned, and there’s no more rope left to throw over. So, he is dead to me,” Kardashian said. “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.”
The blowup stems from Netflix’s Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, which Kardashian agreed to participate in at her ex-husband’s request. She says she wasn’t compensated and expected the project to tell his story without disrespecting their marriage.
Instead, she heard comments suggesting Odom married her for access to the Kardashian family’s fame and connections. “There’s so many things that I just found really distasteful,” she said.
“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,” Kardashian continued. “Even if that is your truth, why don’t you say it without me being on the other side of these interviews?”
Odom previously disputed that interpretation on Louis Ruggiero’s Nothing’s Off the Table podcast, insisting he “never” said he married Kardashian for “clout.” He acknowledged loving her but maintained he didn’t need her celebrity status.
Kardashian also objected to Odom’s public remarks about his recovery from his 2015 overdose at a Nevada brothel. During an April appearance on Today, Odom credited God with saving his life while acknowledging Kardashian cared for him afterward.
Scott Disick brought up her involvement during the Hulu episode, reminding viewers that she had once been “spoon-feeding the guy back to life.” Kardashian responded, “I don’t need you to thank me. Just don’t talk about me. Don’t discredit me.”
The former couple married in 2009, separated in 2013, and finalized their divorce in 2016. Kardashian temporarily halted their divorce proceedings after Odom’s overdose, which he says resulted in 12 strokes and six heart attacks. She helped oversee his medical care and rehabilitation, later describing the emotional toll of his addiction and repeated drug binges.
After the documentary’s release, she admitted she regretted participating, saying, “I feel so dumb.”
Meanwhile, Odom has continued pursuing opportunities outside basketball. He recently launched an OnlyFans account and reportedly earned more than $50,000 in his first eight days on the platform.
