Khloé Kardashian says she regrets appearing in her former husband Lamar Odom's Netflix documentary after hearing comments about their marriage that she found hurtful. She said she had agreed to take part as a favour, only to feel that Odom's account undermined the support she gave him after his near-fatal overdose in 2015.
Speaking in the 12 November 2026 episode of Hulu's The Kardashians, Kardashian said she was upset by the suggestion that Odom married her partly for the fame and lifestyle associated with her family. She called his remarks 'really distasteful' and said their relationship was beyond repair.
Why Khloé Regrets Taking Part
Kardashian appeared in Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, which premiered on Netflix on 31 March 2026, after Odom asked her to contribute. She said she was unpaid and wanted to help him tell his story. 'I took time out of my life to sit here and do a favour for you. I'm not being paid. I'm doing this 'cause I'm trying to be nice', she said.
Her frustration centred on the documentary's account of why they married. Odom said he was drawn to the Kardashian family's lifestyle, while his friend Anthony 'Pumpkin' Booker claimed the marriage could improve Odom's future through the family's connections.
Kardashian said the comments suggested Odom had not genuinely loved her and had married her to become more popular. 'Even if that is your truth, why don't you say it without me being on the other side of these interviews?' she asked, calling the remarks 'really, really lame'.
She had previously expressed regret on her podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, saying: 'I feel so dumb.'
'The Bridge Is Burned'
Kardashian made it clear that she no longer wanted to be drawn into discussions about Odom or their marriage. 'The bridge is burned, and there's no more rope left to throw over. So he is dead to me', she said.
She told her family she did not need Odom to thank her for helping him. What upset her, she explained, was feeling that he was discrediting her role in his recovery. 'I don't need you to thank me. Just don't talk about me. Don't discredit me', she said.
Scott Disick recalled Kardashian caring for Odom after his overdose, including during the months that followed.
Their Marriage and His Overdose
Kardashian and Odom married in September 2009, around a month after meeting. Their relationship featured on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and their spin-off, Khloé & Lamar.
Kardashian filed for divorce in 2013 but withdrew the filing in 2015 after Odom was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel. He suffered a near-fatal overdose and faced a lengthy recovery. She put the divorce on hold and helped oversee his care. Kardashian filed again in 2016, and their divorce was finalised that year.
Odom's Response to the Fame Claims
Odom later disputed the suggestion that he had said he married Kardashian for 'clout'. On Louis Ruggiero's podcast Nothing's Off the Table, he said: 'That never came out of my mouth'. He suggested the comments may have come from his children, Destiny and LJ, who also appeared in the documentary. Odom said he had loved Kardashian but did not need her to become more famous.
Kardashian says the documentary left her feeling discredited, while Odom disputes the interpretation that he married her for publicity. New episodes of The Kardashians stream on Thursdays on Hulu. Kardashian's latest comments suggest she wants Odom to stop discussing her publicly without her involvement.
