Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian rushed to Lamar Odom\u2019s side after his near-fatal overdose in 2015, so it\u2019s no surprise she had a big reaction when she discovered he was doing drugs again.<\/p>\n

In an interview for Netflix\u2019s upcoming Untold docuseries The Death & Life of Lamar Odom<\/em>, Kardashian admits to punching her ex-husband when she found him \u201csmoking crack\u201d inside the home she rented for him. The reality star paid both a caretaker and a chef to be at the home with Odom, despite already having broken up.<\/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 Kardashian recalled in the doc, which premieres on March 31. \u201cOnce you know the smell of crack, it\u2019s the most identifiable, disgusting smell, and there\u2019s nothing that you can confuse it with,\u201d she continued, per People<\/a><\/em>. \u201cAnd I remember stopping by the house and I smelled crack.\u201d<\/p>\n

Khlo\u00e9 said she wanted to be \u201cas stealth as possible\u201d when she suspected Odom was using, saying, \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<\/p>\n

The Good American founder recalled telling her ex-husband she had \u201cjust put my life on hold to f***ing take care of you\u201d and said that, at the time, she was under the impression he didn\u2019t even own a phone. \u201cWell lo and behold, he had a phone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHe was playing me so I could continue this lifestyle for him,\u201d she remembered \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.’\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While Odom didn\u2019t speak much on this specific incident in the doc, the former NBA player did express his disappointment in the person who gave him the drugs, knowing that he had recently overdosed.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThat\u2019s f***ed up,\u201d Lamar said.<\/p>\n

Kardashian, who was married to the former Lakers star from 2009 until 2016, initially filed to dissolve their marriage in December 2013, but the divorce stalled as they attempted to mend their relationship. Odom and Kardashian\u2019s divorce was finalized in December 2016.<\/p>\n

The former couple reunited recently, but in the new doc, Lamar admits that he didn\u2019t love his onscreen reunion with his ex-wife.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTo me, it really didn\u2019t go well. I felt like I was under attack,\u201d Odom told Page Six<\/a><\/em> of their reunion on Season 6 of The Kardashians<\/em>. \u201cBut, I can\u2019t invalidate her pain and what I put it her through. She was there when I couldn\u2019t hold my bowels. She always tried to do her best, when it came to taking care of me. I know it could be a lot, especially when I was recovering from the incident.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the February 2025 episode of the reality series, Kardashian wanted to get \u201cclosure\u201d with her former husband as she turned 40.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHe\u2019s visibly uncomfortable, he\u2019s nervous, he\u2019s sweating,\u201d she told the camera at the time, adding that their reunion was \u201cvery awkward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Odom and Kardashian appear in his new documentary to recount what happened to him over a decade ago, but the former spouses didn\u2019t reconnect during filming. According to Lamar, the last time they actually spoke to each other was when he appeared on The Kardashians<\/em>.<\/p>\n
