Khloé Kardashian Cuts Ties With Lamar Odom Over Documentary Remarks

Kardashian said Odom’s remarks in the Netflix film about his life and near-fatal overdose left her feeling that he had dismissed both their marriage and her support after his near-fatal overdose in 2015. She said she had taken part in the documentary at his request and was not paid to do so, describing his comments as hurtful and distasteful.

In the documentary, released in March, Odom said he had been drawn to Kardashian’s lifestyle and connections. He also said he was not truly in love with her and had married her to gain greater prominence in pop culture. Kardashian objected to him making those claims while she was also participating in interviews for the film.

During the episode, Scott Disick raised the documentary with Kardashian, and her friend Malika Haqq reacted angrily to Odom’s comments. Kardashian said she no longer wanted a relationship with him and felt the experience confirmed her decision to disengage.

Odom later said that one of his children had specifically claimed he married Kardashian for fame. In the documentary, he described seeing the family’s lifestyle and wanting to live that way.

Kardashian and Odom married in 2009, weeks after meeting. She filed for divorce in 2013, then paused the process after Odom’s 2015 overdose. She filed again in May 2016, and the divorce was finalized that December.
