Khloé Kardashian is severing ties with ex-husband Lamar Odom for good.
The former basketball player’s Netflix documentary, “Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom,”
became a subject of discussion on the Nov. 12 episode of “The Kardashians” (Hulu, Thursdays). The film, released on Netflix in March, chronicles the tragedies and hardships the athlete has faced in his 47 years, including his divorce from Kardashian (finalized in 2016) and near-death experience at a now-demolished brothel in 2015.Odom spent close to three months at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after being found unresponsive at the Love Ranch, approximately 80 miles outside of Las Vegas. The two-time NBA champion says he suffered 12 strokes and six heart attacks and defied
doctors’ predictions that he’d never walk or talk again.
“I did watch the Lamar documentary,” Kardashian, 42, informs producers on the latest episode of “The Kardashians.” “I’m not too thrilled about it. Because I’m watching the documentary, and I’m like, ‘Wait, I took time out of my life to sit here and do a favor for you. I’m not being paid. I’m doing this because I’m trying to be nice.’ And there’s so many things that I just found really distasteful."
Kardashian went on to list the things that didn't sit well with her, noting, “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, all these things, which is so weird. 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.”
In the documentary, Odom speaks candidly about his attraction to the Kardashians’ way of life. Anthony Booker, a friend of Odom’s since childhood, attended the former couple’s 2009 nuptials and said the groom explained that he hoped "to try to better his future" with his actions.
“I’m already Lamar Odom,” Odom says in the chapter of “Untold,” “and I’m just kind of like watching how she lived, and their lifestyle, and I’m like, ‘I know this is where I want to be, like, this is how I want to live.’”
During the Nov. 12 installment of “The Kardashians,” Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian’s ex with whom she shares three children, mentions the documentary while hanging out with Khloé Kardashian and her best friend Malika Haqq.
“There was a time where she was spoon-feeding the guy back to life and helping him go to the bathroom,” Disick, 43, remembers.
The Good American co-founder previously revealed during a February 2025 episode of “The Kardashians she contracted a staph infection after she “lived in a hospital for four months." She also said in the documentary that she rented Odom a home following his discharge, and hired a caregiver and chef.
Considering how much gave to Odom in his darkest days, and the fact that he allegedly did not speak to her prior to her documentary interview, Kardashian explains why she is so frustrated by the events.
“I don’t need you to thank me,” she says. “Just don’t talk about me. Don’t discredit me.”
In a confessional, she added, “The bridge is burned, and there’s no more rope left to throw over. So he is dead to me.”
When a producer expresses sympathy, Kardashian says, “It’s OK. I think this just solidifies what liars, con artists, cheats, thieves, trolls that men are. And I just don’t want to be involved. Play with yourself, don’t play with me.”
Odom told USA TODAY in March that he hadn’t been in touch with Kardashian since their televised reunion for the family’s reality series. Their meeting, at times, felt awkward and tense. Kardashian met Odom’s overt warmth with unsettled feelings about their tumultuous past.
“To me, it didn't really go well,” Odom said at the time. “Felt like she was in attack mode, but I can't really invalidate her feelings, and I won't do that. I kind of almost felt sorry for her, in a sense, when I walked away from it. Even though I know she's OK − she's in a good place, she has kids now [True and Tatum Thompson, with ex, Tristan Thompson] − but I could understand the hurt that I caused her.”
Kardashian and Odom’s courtship was quick; 30 days after meeting in 2009, they tied the knot.
“It’s a time that I wouldn't change,” Odom said. “Only thing I would change [would] probably be my actions. But it was a part of my book, part of my history, it ain't going anywhere. But all I can do is try to be the best man I can be now for myself, for my children [Destiny and Lamar Odom Jr., shared with former fiancée Liza Morales] and for my family.”
