Khloé Kardashian Calls Ex Lamar Odom “Dead to Me” After Netflix Film
Khloé Kardashian said on Thursday's episode of The Kardashians that ex-husband Lamar Odom is "dead to me" after his Netflix documentary comments about their marriage. She called his remarks "really, really lame" and said she took part as a favor, unpaid.
Khloé Kardashian issues brutal criticism of her ex-husband, former NBA player Lamar Odom, on Thursday's episode of "The Kardashians," saying he is "dead to me" after comments he made about their marriage in a Netflix documentary.
The reality star, 42, said in an on-camera confessional that she had watched the film. "I'm not too thrilled about it," she said.
"I'm not being paid"
Kardashian said she took part in the documentary as a favor after Odom, 47, asked her to. She said that left her angry once she saw the result.
"I took time out of my life to sit here and do a favor for you," she said. "I'm not being paid. I'm doing this 'cause I'm trying to be nice. There's so many things that I just found really distasteful."
She singled out his remarks about not really being in love with her. Odom also said he married her so he "could be more popular in pop culture," which Kardashian called "so weird."
"Even if that is your truth, 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.
What Odom said in the film
The documentary, "Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom," was released in March. In it, the two-time NBA champion said he married Kardashian because of her lifestyle and connections.
"I'm watching how she lives and their lifestyle. I'm like, 'This is how I want to live,'" he said.
He also claimed Kardashian was not the person who helped him after his near-fatal overdose in 2015.
His daughter Destiny, whom he shares with childhood sweetheart Liza Morales, offered a different view in the film. She said her father did "love" Kardashian but "had wanted to be on reality TV for a long time."
Page Six said it reached out to Odom for comment and did not immediately hear back.
The marriage timeline
Odom and Kardashian married in 2009, weeks after meeting at a party. She filed for divorce in 2013, then halted the split after his 2015 overdose. She refiled in May 2016, and the divorce was finalized that December.
Kardashian, a co-founder of the Good American brand, said she sees no way back. "There's no more rope left to throw over. So he is dead to me," she said.
She then widened her anger beyond Odom. "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."
