While reminding Lamar Odom about his near-fatal overdose, Khloé Kardashian revealed that she developed a health issue while supporting him during his months-long hospitalization.
During the Thursday, February 13, episode of The Kardashians, Khloé, 40, confronted Lamar, 45, about his overdose at a legal brothel in Nevada and subsequent four-month stint in various medical facilities.
“It is his fault he couldn’t speak because he decided to do naughty things somewhere he shouldn’t have done them,” she told Lamar. “You have no idea what happened that day but I do. Don’t talk about it if you aren’t going to be honest.”
Lamar fired back, telling his ex that he didn’t consciously take drugs to cause an overdose. Khloé attempted to clarify his statement, adding in a confessional, “What Lamar is trying to say is when he went to the brothel he didn’t take drugs and he doesn’t recall taking them. I think it is a fact that he did overdose but he is implying that someone drugged him.”
Khloé and Lamar dated for one month before getting engaged in 2009. They got married later that year and Khloé filed for divorce four years later. Khloé later postponed her court motion after Lamar — who struggled with substance abuse during part of their marriage — was left comatose following an overdose at a legal brothel in Nevada.
“You were in a coma for three days. I was there the second you were there,” Khloé recalled on Thursday’s episode. “I was there when your father said, ‘Pull the plug’ so he could be on your life insurance. I was there when you had six heart attacks, 12 strokes and Kobe [Bryant] walked in when we had to do a lung surgery on you.”
Khloé said she developed her own health issues as a result.
“I was there through it all. We transferred you from Vegas to Cedars,” she continued. “I didn’t leave you for four months. I got a staph infection because I lived in a hospital.”
While looking after Lamar in 2015, Khloé revealed on social media that she contracted a staph infection. “[It] is no joke,” she wrote via X. “Mine was exacerbated by stress which is not a great combo. I’m under great medical care&receiving tons of love!”
The reality star elaborated on how Lamar’s issues took a toll on her.
“Just recently I’ve been in the hospital for almost three and a half weeks straight, and finally everyone was saying, ‘Khloé, you have to get out of the hospital and just for an hour, go to the gym and do something that’s for you. Nothing’s going to happen to Lamar,’” she told the San Diego Union-Tribune at the time. “I had such anxiety going to the gym, but as soon as I left, and Kendall [Jenner] and I worked out with my trainer, I felt like, ‘Oh my god, I’m OK. I’m a human again!’”
Khloé ultimately served as Lamar’s caretaker while he recovered before refiling for divorce in May 2016, which was finalized seven months later.
“Lamar was and is definitely someone that I felt was the love of my life,” Khloé told the cameras in a February episode of her Hulu show. “I got married when I was 24 and although him and I got married 30 days to the day we met, I loved him with all of my heart and soul. I took my vows very seriously and I was married for about seven years. But there were bigger things that were not fixable in that marriage. So the last time I saw him was in 2016.”
Lamar, meanwhile, offered an apology to his ex-wife. “I put you through a lot,” he admitted. “I f—– up with you. I love you for trying your hardest with me. That love will never go away, I know it won’t.”
Hulu releases new episodes of The Kardashians every Thursday.
