Khloé Kardashian Slams Ex-Husband Lamar Odom Over Documentary Fame Claim
Reality television star Khloé Kardashian has publicly denounced her former husband, ex-NBA player Lamar Odom, following explosive allegations in a recent Netflix documentary. The controversy centers on claims that Odom married Kardashian in 2009 primarily to leverage her fame and connections for his own benefit.
Documentary Allegations Spark Fury
The dispute erupted from the Netflix documentary Untold: The Death and Life of Lamar Odom, where a friend of Odom asserted that the basketball star once admitted to marrying Kardashian to "better his future" through her high-profile network. This revelation has ignited a fierce response from Kardashian, who participated in the project as a favor without compensation.
On her podcast Khloé in Wonderland, Kardashian did not mince words, labeling the claim as "insane" and expressing deep frustration. "You're asking me to be in your documentary and behind the scenes, you and your friends are all saying you were with me just for fame? That's some f–ked up s–t. I feel so dumb. I spent hours and time doing this documentary as a favor. I'm not paid one penny," she stated emphatically.
Accusations of Slander and Discrediting
Kardashian further accused Odom of attempting to "insinuate [she's] a liar" and discredit her, particularly regarding her support during his recovery from a near-fatal overdose in 2015. She highlighted the inconsistency in his public statements, noting that he had previously praised her for years. "For years, he was singing my praises… You're not now gonna s–t on me and play in my face because you don't like the reaction and the response from the public," she added. "He's trying to sort of slander me a little, which frustrates me."
Past Violations and Lack of Accountability
The reality star also criticized Odom for what she described as "violating" behavior, referencing his past decision to display a s3x doll modeled after her, which she called "gross" and attention-seeking. Additionally, she questioned his lack of positive progress showcased in the documentary, saying, "Your overdose was 11 years ago. You're telling me you've got nothing positive to show at the end of your documentary?"
Background of the Relationship
Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom were married from 2009 to 2016, with their relationship highly publicized through a reality show. Despite separating in 2013, Kardashian supported Odom through his health crisis before their divorce was finalized. While Odom has acknowledged past mistakes and recently revealed he is nearing 60 days sober, this latest fallout indicates that tensions between the former couple remain unresolved, highlighting ongoing personal and public conflicts.
