5 Shocking Things Khloé Kardashian Just Revealed About Her Traumatic Marriage To Lamar Odom

Contents

The tumultuous and often heartbreaking relationship between reality star Khloé Kardashian and former NBA player Lamar Odom continues to be a defining chapter in the Kardashian-Jenner saga. While their divorce was finalized years ago, new and deeply personal revelations have surfaced in late 2024 and early 2025, primarily through Khloé's appearances on her family's reality show, The Kardashians, and her own podcast. These recent disclosures offer a raw, unvarnished look at the trauma she endured, detailing everything from shocking acts of emotional abuse to their highly-anticipated, yet brief, reunion after almost a decade.

The latest updates confirm that while Odom still speaks fondly of his ex-wife, Khloé has drawn a firm boundary, indicating that their recent contact was a necessary step for closure, but not a path toward renewed closeness. Here is a deep dive into the most recent and shocking things Khloé Kardashian has revealed about her relationship with Lamar Odom.

The Shocking New Trauma: Lamar Odom Burned Khloé’s Personal Journals

One of Khloé’s most painful and recent disclosures involves an act of emotional cruelty that occurred during the height of Lamar’s addiction struggles. On her podcast, Khloé shared for the first time that Lamar Odom intentionally burned all of her deeply personal journals.

This was not just a loss of property; it was a devastating erasure of her history. Khloé explained that the journals contained years of her most intimate thoughts, memories, and personal records, which she had meticulously kept since the age of 16. The act was so traumatic that it caused her to completely stop journaling.

She described the event as a moment where he "burned all of my journals in front of me," highlighting the controlling and destructive nature of his behavior at the time. This revelation adds a new layer of psychological abuse to the public narrative of their marriage, illustrating that the trauma extended far beyond his well-known infidelity and substance abuse.

The "Weird and Gross" Sex Doll Incident

Perhaps the most bizarre and recent public incident involving the former couple occurred in a 2024/2025 episode of The Kardashians. It was revealed that Lamar Odom had purchased a life-size sex doll made in Khloé’s likeness. The discovery was met with immediate and strong condemnation from Khloé and her sisters.

Khloé's reaction was one of complete shock and disgust. She called the act "weird and gross" and even labeled it as "demonic." The incident was particularly disturbing because Lamar had been publicly expressing his desire to reconcile or at least be friends, making the purchase of the doll a highly unsettling contradiction.

The episode highlighted the ongoing psychological toll of their past relationship, showing how Odom's actions, even years after their divorce, continue to cause distress. For Khloé, the doll was a stark reminder of the unhealthy fixation that she has worked hard to escape.

The Nine-Year Reunion and the Firm Boundary

Despite the trauma, Khloé and Lamar shared a significant reunion, which was filmed for the reality show. Khloé noted that prior to this meeting, they had not had contact for nine years. The reunion was initiated by Khloé as a way to "shed as much as I can" and move forward from the past.

However, the brief return to contact was quickly curtailed. Khloé revealed that she had to break contact with Odom again because he began "repeating some of the same behaviors" that she simply could not tolerate. She emphasized the difficulty of this decision, stating, "I had to learn the hard way."

While Odom has publicly stated he considers his time with Khloé one of the best periods of his adult life and has called it a "blessing" that they are on speaking terms—where he can text her and she replies—Khloé’s perspective is clear: the past is in the rearview mirror. Their current dynamic is cordial but distant, with Khloé maintaining a necessary boundary to protect her peace and mental health from the "trauma" of their marriage.

The Pain of Finding Her "Right Person" Cheating in a Motel

Another painful memory Khloé recently revisited was the moment she discovered Lamar Odom was cheating. She recounted an instance where she tracked him down to a motel, a situation that left her feeling like a "f------ doormat" in front of the public and her family.

Khloé has often described Lamar as the "right person" she had met at the "wrong time," a sentiment that speaks to the deep connection they shared despite his struggles. However, the consistent infidelity, which she often discovered through public reporting, was a massive blow to her self-worth and trust.

The public nature of their relationship, especially the 2015 overdose incident that led to Khloé putting their divorce on hold to manage his medical care (raising complex issues like HIPAA privacy), further complicated her healing journey. Khloé’s recent, raw honesty about the motel discovery and the burning of her journals serves as a powerful testament to her resilience and her continued effort to process the severe emotional impact of the relationship.
