Khloé Kardashian objects to Lamar Odom’s latest comments in his Netflix documentary Unpublished: The death and life of Lamar Odom.
The former NBA star suggested he marry her for fame.
On the April 15 episode of She Khloé in Wonderland podcast, the reality star addressed Odom’s comments head-on.
“You’re on camera saying you married me for fame,” she said, adding that she, along with her fans, once believed their seven-year marriage was based on love.
“You, your friends, all say you were with me just for the fame. That’s just bullshit. I feel so stupid, I spent hours and time making this documentary as a favor. I don’t get paid a single cent.”
Joined by her longtime friend Malika Haqq, Kim Kardashian’s sister explained that she initially agreed to participate in the project to ensure Odom’s story was portrayed in a positive way.
“I wanted to make sure this was handled in the best way,” she noted. “He’s been through enough negative things. Let’s turn the tone here.”
But after the documentary’s release, Kardashian expressed frustration with Odom’s press appearances, where he appeared to downplay his role in her recovery from her near-fatal overdose in 2015.
“I don’t even need you to sing my praises,” she said. “But you’re not going to make fun of me now or play me to my face because you don’t like the public reaction and response.”
A source close to Odom said E! News that his engagements with the press were part of his agreement and not a personal choice.
The source pointed out that Odom always acknowledged Kardashian’s support during her most difficult years.
