Khloe Kardashian says Lamar Odom is ‘dead to me’ after his ‘distasteful’ comments on their marriage
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Khloe Kardashian has blasted her former husband Lamar Odom and claimed that he is “dead to me” after he made some “distasteful” comments about their marriage.
The media personality and the former basketball player got married in 2009. However, their marriage did not survive for long, as they separated in 2013 before finalizing their divorce in 2016. Years later, Odom shared his perspective on their marriage in his Netflix documentary, ‘Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom’, released earlier this year.
Khloe Kardashian says she's 'not too thrilled about' Lamar Odom's documentary
Odom reportedly said that he married Khloe to become more popular, as per Entertainment Weekly.
His comments did not sit well with Khloe, who spoke about the documentary during Thursday's, November 12, episode of ‘The Kardashians’.
“I did watch the Lamar documentary. I’m not too thrilled about it,” she said.
“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, and there’s so many things that I just found really distasteful,” she stated.
Lamar Odom said he wanted to live like Khloe Kardashian
In the documentary, Odom spoke about what initially attracted him to Khloe and the lifestyle that came with being part of the Kardashian family.
He said that he was drawn to the lifestyle he observed while spending time with her.
Odom said in the documentary that he’s “just kinda watching how she lives and their lifestyle. I’m like, ‘This is where I know I want to be.’ Like, ‘This is how I wanna live.’ I think that was like a power trip for me because you took the power that I had and then the Kardashian power. When you add ‘em, but I wasn’t really ready for all that power.”
Addressing his remarks, Khloe pushed back against the suggestion that his decision to marry her was motivated by fame and popularity.
“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 true, 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 said.

Khloe, who also participated in the documentary, made it clear that she did not want to revisit the situation or continue being involved in Odom's personal life.
The mother-of-two added that she had reached her limit with their past relationship and was no longer willing to give him another chance.
“There’s no more rope left to throw over. So he is dead to me. 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.
Meanwhile, after her marriage to Odom ended, Khloe moved on with Tristan Thompson. The former couple welcomed two children together, True and Tatum. However, their relationship also faced difficulties, and the pair permanently split in 2021.
