Khloé Kardashian: Lamar Odom is 'dead' to me now
12 Nov
Summary
- Kardashian calls ex Lamar Odom 'dead' after his documentary claims.
- She found his statements about marrying her for fame 'distasteful'.
- The couple divorced in 2016 after a tumultuous relationship.

Khloé Kardashian stated that her ex-husband Lamar Odom is now "dead" to her. This declaration came after Kardashian viewed the Netflix documentary "Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom." She expressed being taken aback by Odom's comments, which she described as "distasteful," particularly his assertion that he married her solely for pop culture relevance. Kardashian found these statements "really, really lame" and felt he should not discredit her. The reality star indicated that the relationship bridge was burned, with no possibility of reconciliation.
Kardashian further reflected on Odom's struggles with addiction during their marriage. She recalled searching for him during his drug binges and needing to clean up after him. Kardashian acknowledged her past role as an enabler, feeling a responsibility to cover up his issues and protect him. The former couple married in 2009 and divorced in 2016, though Kardashian temporarily postponed her divorce petition in 2015 when Odom suffered a near-fatal overdose.
Odom later addressed Kardashian's role in his recovery during an appearance on the "Today" show. While acknowledging her care, he attributed his survival primarily to divine intervention. He stated that God saved his life after he experienced multiple heart attacks and strokes, despite Kardashian's significant support during his recovery months.
