Khloé Kardashian has announced that her relationship with ex-husband Lamar Odom is definitively over, following disparaging comments he made during the promotion of his Netflix documentary, *Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom*. In a recent episode of her podcast, *Khloé in Wonder Land*, she revealed that Odom has not attempted to reach out to her since she publicly critiqued him, further solidifying her decision to cut ties.

The 41-year-old reality television star addressed the matter during a conversation with her mother, Kris Jenner, in the latest episode of her podcast. In particular, she highlighted her surprise at Odom’s remarks in various interviews, where he seemed to downplay her previous supportive role in his life, especially during his struggles in 2015 when he suffered a near-fatal overdose. Odom had previously stated that his recovery should be credited to his faith rather than Kardashian’s interventions.
During the podcast, Kardashian expressed her disappointment, indicating that she had not received any communication from Odom since she called him out for his comments alongside her friend Malika Haqq. “No. What the hell is he gonna say?” she remarked, hinting at the absence of remorse from her ex-husband. Jenner, who has historically kept a supportive stance towards Odom, expressed that it was surprising he hadn’t reached out to apologise for his comments.
Kardashian’s feelings towards Odom have soured significantly since their divorce was finalised in 2016. The couple’s marriage, which began in 2009, has been marred by personal struggles and public scrutiny, especially relating to Odom’s health issues. Kardashian mentioned that Odom’s recent behaviour appears to be a departure from his previous attitude towards the Kardashian family, notably stating, “I don’t think he would care really about me, clearly,” and expressing concern for how he might feel about losing connections with her family.
Despite his past gratitude towards the Kardashians, Odom’s remarks have raised questions about his intentions. Kardashian also mentioned an interview where Odom appeared to credit the marriage for boosting his popularity on social media, which left her perplexed given how much he seemed to value their relationship previously. “It’s not like he is only doing bad press about me. He sat down and gave bad interviews about me in the documentary,” she stated, feeling betrayed by the man she once supported.
Throughout this experience, Kardashian made it clear to her mother that she does not intend to maintain any form of communication with Odom. “We’re not talking to him anymore,” she confidently asserted, redirecting any responsibility away from her mother regarding potential outreach. Jenner responded, “I have not. I would not do anything like that without telling you first,” reinforcing her daughter’s stance.
In a moment of vulnerability, Kardashian admitted that she feels “played” by Odom, stating, “All I did was tell the story that I was asked by you to tell, but now to, like, play in my face and now to act like I didn’t do any of the things I did and insinuate I’m a liar is crazy.” She elaborated on her commitment to Odom’s documentary, explaining how she dedicated significant time and energy as a favour to him, only to feel discredited.
Furthermore, Khloé expressed frustration that Odom seems to be undermining their shared history and her contributions during his difficult times. “I feel so dumb,” she confessed, revealing the emotional toll the situation has taken on her. Her disdain for the current state of affairs was palpable, as she stated, “I’m pissed that I’m even involved.”
As Khloé Kardashian moves forward, it is clear that her past with Lamar Odom is firmly in the rearview mirror. She has drawn a line with her ex-husband, emphasising that the “bridge is burned” and indicating that she has no desire to revisit their tumultuous history. The public fallout has highlighted the complexities of their relationship, both in the context of personal struggles and the scrutiny that comes with fame.
