Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian said she once punched her ex-husband, Lamar Odom, after she discovered he was using drugs again after almost dying from an overdose in 2015, People reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u201cKardashians\u201d star described the incident in Netflix\u2019s upcoming \u201cUntold\u201d anthology docuseries, \u201cThe Death & Life of Lamar Odom,\u201d which hits the streamer on March 31.<\/p>\n

According to People, Kardashian reveals in the docuseries that she found Odom, the two-time NBA champion to whom she was married from 2009 to 2016, \u201csmoking crack\u201d when she suddenly showed up at the home she had rented for him. <\/p>\n

\u201cI remember slowly tiptoeing up the stairs. He was in his bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed, smoking crack, and I just punched him in his face,\u201d she shared, according to People.<\/p>\n

Kardashian said that when she caught Odom, he was in an incoherent state. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo at this point, Lamar can barely talk. He can speak a little bit, but it\u2019s more like, \u2018Mmhmm,\u2019 and everything\u2019s delayed. He wasn\u2019t able to take a shower on his own,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Kardashian said she scolded Odom, telling him that she had \u201cjust put my life on hold to fucking take care of you,\u201d according to People.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was playing me so I could continue this lifestyle for him,\u201d claimed Kardashian, who said she\u2019d paid for Odom to have a chef and caretaker at the house. \u201cI said, \u2018By Monday, you need to be out of this house. I\u2019m done. I\u2019m not paying for a thing, and I never want to speak to you again.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Representatives for Odom did not immediately respond to HuffPost\u2019s request for comment. But Odom has been candid about how his drug addiction impacted his marriage to Kardashian.<\/p>\n

In the trailer for \u201cTMZ Presents: Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs & Kardashians,\u201d<\/a> which premiered in December 2022, the former power forward said that \u201cdrugs was my girlfriend,\u201d adding, \u201cI had a wife\u2026and cocaine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether Kardashian was aware that he was using drugs during their rocky marriage, he replied, \u201cFor part of our marriage. I had to tell her. We can\u2019t hide that forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBehind the scenes, I put her through some shit,\u201d Odom admitted. \u201cThe things that y\u2019all think y\u2019all know is crazy. But the stories that y\u2019all don\u2019t know is really crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kardashian and the former Los Angeles Lakers player tied the knot in 2009. They separated in 2013 and finalized their divorce in 2016. <\/p>\n

In a January 2025 episode of her \u201cKhlo\u00e9 in Wonderland\u201d<\/a> podcast, Kardashian shared what she considered the \u201cpivotal moment\u201d<\/a> in her and Odom\u2019s breakup.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember, I was married, and my ex-husband had a drug addiction. And I knew that his addiction always heightened \u2014 he was in the NBA \u2014 and his addiction always heightened when he was in the off-season, because idle time is the devil\u2019s playground,\u201d she told motivational speaker Mel Robbins. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so I remember he was asked to go to Team USA, if I remember correctly, and I was begging, \u2018Please, please go to Team USA,\u2019 and I was pushing, and I remember he just looked at me and said, \u2018You can\u2019t want it more than I do,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Kardashian said that his \u201cprofound\u201d response snapped her into reality, telling Robbins, \u201cThat was a very pivotal moment in my life because I remember that statement being like\u2026 \u2018Yeah, you\u2019re right. I can\u2019t want your life more than you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
