Khloe Kardashian is finally addressing her ex-husband Lamar Odom's recent statements about their marriage, expressing frustration over his suggestion that he married her for fame.
During an episode of her podcast "Khloe in Wonder Land," Kardashian responded to Odom's comments in the Netflix documentary "Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom," where he claimed he married her for fame. "You're sitting on camera saying you married me for fame," Kardashian said. "That's like some messed up stuff. I feel so dumb."
Kardashian revealed she participated in the documentary as a favor without payment, wanting to ensure it portrayed Odom positively. "I wanted to make sure this was a positive piece," she explained. "He's been through enough negative stuff. Let's turn the tune here."
She also expressed frustration about Odom's recent press appearances where he allegedly downplayed her role in saving his life after his near-fatal overdose in 2015. "I don't even need you to sing my praises," Kardashian said. "But you're not now going to disrespect me because you don't like the reaction from the public."
Meanwhile, a source close to Odom told E! News that he participated in press appearances as part of his agreement for the documentary, not because he enjoys revisiting personal chapters. "For years, he's been consistent in acknowledging Khloé's support during one of the hardest periods he's faced," the statement said.
The documentary also revealed that Odom admitted to trying to sleep with Kardashian the first night they met in 2009, though she declined. They married just one month after meeting, with Kardashian acknowledging in the documentary that getting married in 30 days was "insane."
Additional details from the documentary include that Odom's ex-fiancée Liza Morales wouldn't allow their children to attend his wedding to Kardashian, and that Kardashian had reservations about their reality show "Khloe & Lamar," which she said was "led very much by Lamar" rather than her idea.
