Khloé Kardashian has furiously hit out at her ex-husband Lamar Odom, declaring him ‘dead’ to her after the former NBA player made a string of ‘distasteful’ comments about her
Khloé Kardashian has said her ex-husband, Lamar Odom, is now “dead” to her. This comes after the former NBA player made a string of negative comments about the reality star-turned-businesswoman.
During the latest episode of The Kardashians, Khloé, 42, reflected on comments Lamar, 47, made in his Netflix documentary, Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom. The production detailed Lamar’s struggles with both drugs and alcohol, as well as his near-death experience in 2015, after he suffered kidney failure, as well as several strokes and heart attacks.
Despite being separated, Khloé was on hand to support Lamar and aid his rehabilitation. But Lamar has since said that while Khloé went out of her way, it was God who saved his life.

Speaking on her Hayu 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 favour for you. I’m not being paid. I’m doing this because I’m trying to be nice.”
Lamar said that when he met Khloé, he was attracted to the “lifestyle” that came along with the Kardashian family. A friend of Lamar’s also claimed that on his wedding day to Khloé, the former basketball player said he was marrying her to “try to better his future” as the Kardashian-Jenner family had “mad connections”.
He said in his documentary: “I’m already Lamar Odom, and I’m just watching how she lives and [her family’s] lifestyle. I’m like, ‘I know this is where I wanna be. This is how I wanna live.'”
Hitting back, mum-of-two Khloé fumed: “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?” Khloé also said she had been hurt by Lamar’s “lame” comments, when he attempted to downplay just how much she helped him after he was hospitalised.
During an appearance on The Today Show in April, Jenner Bush Hager asked Odom if Khloé had saved his life. He replied: “In some ways, God saved my life. The lord saved my life, honestly.” He added that Khloé “took care” of him after his hospitalisation.
Lamar continued: “God took care of me the most. What I came back from is like a medical miracle.” Hitting back, Khloé furiously responded: “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 ol. 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.”
Khloé and Lamar dated for just a few weeks before they announced their engagement in 2009, leaving her step-parent, Caitlyn Jenner, horrified when she found out in the news. They went on to marry that same year – before Khloé filed for divorce four years later.
However, she halted proceedings after Lamar was found unconscious in a brothel in Las Vegas, resulting in him being in a coma for three days before requiring extensive rehabilitation. Because the divorce was paused, Khloé was able to make decisions about Lamar’s healthcare until he recovered. They officially divorced in 2016.
