Khloé Kardashian pushed back against Lamar Odom’s latest remarks in his Netflix documentary Untold: The Death and Life of Lamar Odom.
The former NBA star suggested he married her for fame.
In the April 15 episode of her Khloé in Wonderland podcast addressed reality star Odom’s comments directly.
“You’re sitting on camera saying you married me for fame,” she said, adding that she, along with fans, once believed their seven-year marriage was built on love.
“You, your friends, you’re all saying how you were with me, just for fame. It’s like a f—ked up st. I feel so stupid, I spent hours and time making this documentary as a favor. I’m not getting paid a dime.”
Along with longtime friend Malika Haqq, Kim Kardashian’s sister explained that she initially agreed to participate in the project to ensure that Odom’s story was portrayed positively.
“I wanted to make sure it was handled in the best way,” she noted. “He’s been through enough negative s–t. Let’s turn the tune here.”
But after the documentary’s release, Kardashian expressed frustration with Odom’s press appearances, in which he appeared to downplay her role in his recovery from his near-fatal overdose in 2015.
“I don’t even need you to sing praises,” she said. “But you don’t want to slip on me now or play in my face because you don’t like the reaction and response from the public.”
A source close to Odom said E! News that his press commitments were part of his deal, not a personal choice.
The insider emphasized that Odom has consistently acknowledged Kardashian’s support during his most difficult years.
