An explosive new documentary reveals former pro basketball star Lamar Odom wed Khloé Kardashian for money and fame and she covered up his nearly deadly drug use.
The former couple reveals spicy and sordid details of their six-year marriage that ended in 2016 in the Netflix exposé Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, including the embarrassing revelation that the 6-foot-10 hoopster, who won two championships with the Los Angeles Lakers before retiring in 2014, was using Kardashian, now 41, and her reality-famous family.

Childhood pal Anthony “Pumpkin” Booker, a guest at the couple’s televised 2009 wedding, revealed Odom told him “the moves that he’s doing, he was doing it to try to better his future” since the family “know people” and “have mad connections,” according to Page Six.

Odom, 46, even admits: “I’m watching how she lives and their lifestyle. I’m like, ‘This is how I want to live.’”
His daughter Destiny, 28, whose mom was childhood sweetheart Liza Morales, insists: “He did love Khloé … but he had wanted to be on reality TV.” But she also noted he was a cheater who married “this woman on TV and [had] affairs?”

Kardashian remembers getting a call from a woman who said “I’ve been f**king your husband,” but said she was “freaked out” because he was so “f**ked up” on drugs and asked “‘can you pick him up?’” The Good American founder admits she was an “enabler” by covering up his drugging, saying, “I was looking for him in alleys, looking for him in motels … go to hotel rooms to clean up after him” so workers couldn’t “sell a story” about his drug binges.
As Globe reported, Odom nearly died of an overdose at a Nevada brothel, where he partied with booze, cocaine, marijuana and hookers in 2015. After days in a coma, he came to with Kardashian at his hospital bedside.
The reality star says she tried to help him beat his habit, but when she caught him “smoking crack” she said, per Page Six: “I’m done, I’m not paying for a thing and I never want to speak to you again.”
