Khloe Kardashian Had Doubts About Having Her Own Show With Lamar Odom<\/p>\n
Khloe & Lamar premiered April 10, 2011, on E!, seemingly a natural spin-off of the mothership Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which had already spawned Khloe & Kourtney Take Miami and Kourtney & Kim Take New York.<\/p>\n
But that was not Khloe’s idea, according to the now 41-year-old.<\/p>\n
“Khloe & Lamar was led very much by Lamar,” she said in the doc. “I was spread really thin. I also didn’t really want it to jeopardize the family brand, which was Keeping Up at the time. I thought there were so many Kardashian shows, and I reminded him about his main career\u2014uh, the Lakers\u2014and just said, ‘Are you sure you want to do it?'”<\/p>\n
Noting that shooting KUWTK allowed her to “bounce around to different homes” and not be “under a microscope,” Khloe admitted she was “a little concerned” about a show that was going to be in in their home all the time. “But I also wanted to make him happy,” she said, “and he was so excited about it.”<\/p>\n
Destiny said of her dad, “He did love Khloe, but he’d wanted to be on reality TV for a long time.”<\/p>\n
Or as Lamar put it in the doc, “Well, part of the deal was that, ‘If I’m gonna marry you, f–k it, I want in too.'”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Khloe Kardashian Had Doubts About Having Her Own Show With Lamar Odom Khloe & Lamar premiered April 10,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":356929,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-356928","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-newzealand","12":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=356928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356928\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/356929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=356928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=356928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=356928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
