Khloé Kardashian Opens Up About Betrayal and Healing
In a revealing episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Khloé Kardashian discussed her tumultuous relationship with former husband Lamar Odom, particularly an incident that led her to feel “psychopathic” due to his infidelity.
Discovering the Infidelity
Kardashian recounted a fateful night in downtown Los Angeles when she discovered Odom cheating. It was 3 a.m. when she stumbled upon him with another woman in a motel. After seeing Twitter reports that suggested he was in the area, she utilized the hashtag #LamarOdom for clues, emphasizing his fame as a notable 7-foot tall player for the Los Angeles Lakers.
“Everyone knows who you are. Like, you’re very identifiable,” she stated, reflecting on the ease with which she tracked him down.
Confrontation at the Motel
Upon arriving at the motel, Kardashian approached the front desk to inquire about Odom’s room. After a brief confrontation, she found her husband and the woman in a compromising situation, which prompted a heated outburst from her.
While Kardashian did not provide explicit details of her reaction, her emotional distress was evident. “He could not understand how I knew where he was,” she explained. “And I was like, ‘I don’t give a s—, I’m not telling anybody anything.’”
Aftermath and Reflections
The following day, she attended a birthday party for her niece, Kourtney Kardashian’s daughter, Penelope, despite having bloodied knuckles from her explosive confrontation. “My knuckles were all bloody and gross,” she admitted, revealing her commitment to maintaining a facade of normalcy.
Later in the podcast, Kardashian emphasized the emotional toll of being put in such a situation. “When you force a woman to go crazy, it’s like, what did you do?” she remarked, indicating that she believes men should acknowledge the role they play in their partners’ reactions.
Progression of Her Relationship with Odom
The couple’s marriage ultimately ended in divorce, which was prolonged due to Odom’s health crisis following a drug overdose in 2015. Although they had temporarily called off their divorce during his recovery, Kardashian reflected on the complexity of their relationship.
“I think the worst part of that experience was how much I let down my younger sisters,” she noted, expressing regret over her decisions and concern for their opinions.
Moving Forward Post-Odom
After her relationship with Odom, Kardashian entered into another relationship with NBA player Tristan Thompson, which also suffered from infidelity scandals. During her pregnancy, she discovered Thompson’s cheating, leading to further heartbreak.
Despite the challenges, Kardashian navigated her co-parenting relationship with Thompson, emphasizing the importance of their daughter, True. “If I hadn’t had True, I never would have gotten back together with him after he cheated the first time,” she explained.
