Khloé Kardashian Says Lamar Odom Is “Dead to Me”

Kardashian said she appeared in the documentary because Odom personally asked her to, not because she expected anything in return. In a confessional, she said she had watched it and was “not too thrilled,” according to Page Six.

In “Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom,” which premiered on Netflix in March, the former NBA champion said his attraction to Kardashian’s lifestyle and connections influenced his decision to marry her. He recalled watching how she lived and thinking, “This is how I want to live.” He also suggested he had not truly been in love with her and that the marriage helped raise his profile in pop culture. His daughter Destiny, whom he shares with Liza Morales, said her father did love Kardashian, though he had long wanted to appear on reality television.

Kardashian objected to Odom sharing those views after she had sat for interviews for the project. “Even if that is your truth, why don’t you say it without me being on the other side of these interviews?” she said. She also disputed his account of her involvement after his near-fatal overdose in 2015. “There’s no more rope left to throw over. So he is dead to me,” she said, adding a broader criticism of men and saying she did not want to be involved.

The documentary has brought other painful memories back into public discussion. On a November 5, 2026 episode of “The Kardashians,” Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, recalled going to a hotel where they thought Odom needed help during his substance-abuse struggles. Kardashian said she found about 20 people engaged in a sexual encounter, while Jenner gathered drugs into trash bags. Kardashian recalled telling her mother, “We’re going to get Lamar.”

She also criticized remarks by Odom’s son LJ in the documentary. On an October 22, 2026 episode, Kardashian said he had described attending Christmas gatherings because he expected her and Jenner to spend money on him. She called the comments “gross.” Her friend Malika Haqq said LJ had previously contacted her hoping Kardashian would promote something on social media.

Kardashian had already told Jenner not to contact Odom. In an April 29, 2026 conversation on the “Khloé in Wonder Land” podcast, she said, “We’re not talking to him anymore.” Jenner said she had not called him and would not do so without discussing it with her daughter. Kardashian replied that reconciliation was not possible: “The bridge is burned, and I have no more rope left to throw over.”
