Khloé Kardashian Says Lamar Odom Is 'Dead to Me' Over His Netflix Documentary Comments
Reality star Khloé Kardashian said on the November 12 episode of Hulu's The Kardashians that she was unhappy after watching her ex-husband, former NBA player Lamar Odom, in his Netflix documentary Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom. She called his comments about their marriage in the film "really distasteful" and said, "The bridge is burned, and there's no more rope left to throw over. So he is dead to me." The remarks spread quickly on social media on November 12 and 13, Odom's name trended on X, and multiple U.S. outlets followed up.
According to USA TODAY, Kardashian said she appeared in the documentary at Odom's request, was not paid, and did so as a favor. She said she took offense at Odom's account in the film that he married into the family for its lifestyle and to become more popular. "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," she said. "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."
The documentary, released on Netflix in March, chronicles the tragedies and hardships of Odom's 47 years, including his marriage to Kardashian (the two married in 2009, 30 days after meeting, and their divorce was finalized in 2016) and his near-fatal 2015 overdose at a Nevada brothel. According to USA TODAY, Odom spent close to three months at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and says he suffered 12 strokes and six heart attacks. Kardashian cared for him during that period, and after his discharge rented him a home and hired a caregiver and a chef, as recounted in the documentary.
"I don't need you to thank me," Kardashian said on the show. "Just don't talk about me. Don't discredit me." She added that the episode had solidified her wish to have nothing more to do with him. According to ClutchPoints on November 13, Odom had not publicly responded to her comments as of publication. In a March interview with USA TODAY, Odom said the two had not been in touch since their televised reunion, acknowledged that meeting felt awkward, and said he understood the hurt he had caused her.
After clips spread, reactions under PEOPLE magazine's Instagram post were mixed: some users backed Kardashian for cutting ties, while others said Odom should have kept their private history private. GSM presents both sides' statements as reported, without taking a position.
