Khloé Kardashian says Lamar Odom is 'dead to me' over documentary
Kardashian participated in Odom's Netflix documentary at his request but criticized his comments about their marriage.
Khloé Kardashian said her ex-husband Lamar Odom is “dead to me” on Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians, after his Netflix documentary comments about their marriage and her role in his 2015 recovery.
The documentary, Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, debuted in March and follows Odom’s struggles with drug and alcohol addiction and his 2015 near-death experience. Kardashian, 42, participated at his request.
“The bridge is burned and there’s no more rope left to throw over,” Kardashian said. “So he is dead to me.”
“I’m not being paid,” she said. “I’m doing this because I’m trying to be nice.” Kardashian said she found “so many things” in the documentary “really distasteful.”
On the episode, cast member Scott Disick asked, “Hey, did you hear what Lamar said about this new documentary?” while Kardashian’s friend Malika Haqq said of Odom, “I wanted to get his ass.”
“I’m watching how she lives and their lifestyle,” Odom said earlier in the documentary. “I’m like, ‘This is how I want to live.’”
“You’re saying that you weren’t really in love with me,” Kardashian said of his remarks. “You married me just so you could be more popular in pop culture.” She added, “Even if that is your truth, why don’t you say it without me being on the other side of these interviews?”
Odom said on Louis Ruggiero’s Nothing’s Off the Table podcast that he loved Kardashian and had never said he married her for clout. He has said one of his children made the fame allegation.
His daughter Destiny said Odom loved Kardashian but had wanted for a long time to be on reality television, The Blast reported.
Odom also questioned Kardashian’s account that his father, Joe Odom, had advised against putting him “on life support,” The Independent reported.
“I don’t need you to thank me,” Kardashian said. “Just don’t talk about me. Don’t discredit me.”
She said the episode with Odom “solidifies what liars, con artists, cheats, thieves, trolls that men are,” and said she wanted no involvement. “Play with yourself, don’t play with me,” she said.
Odom told the Today show in April 2026 that Kardashian “took care” of him, though he credited God with caring for him the most. “What I came back from is like a medical miracle,” he said.
It was not immediately known whether Odom had responded to Thursday’s episode.
Kardashian discussed Odom with her mother, Kris Jenner, on an April 29 episode of her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast.
“We’re not talking to him anymore,” Kardashian said in April 2026.
“I have not made a phone call. I would not do anything like that without telling you first or asking you what you wanted me to do in a situation,” Jenner said in April 2026.
“It’s not happening,” Kardashian said. “There is no situation. Exactly. The bridge is burned, and I have no more rope left to throw over.”
Kardashian and Odom wed in 2009, one month after meeting at a party for his then-Lakers teammate Metta World Peace. They split in 2013.
Odom was found unconscious in October 2015 at the Love Ranch, a Las Vegas brothel, after using cocaine in the preceding days, the Daily Mail reported. He suffered multiple heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure, and spent three days in a coma.
The couple had signed their divorce papers three months earlier, though a judge had yet to approve their split. Kardashian withdrew her filing later that month to help make medical decisions during Odom’s recovery. Their divorce became final in 2016.
