Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom’s story has been filled with highs and lows. But after seeing how things played out with his documentary Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, it’s safe to say she’s closing the chapter for good.
Kardashian participated in the documentary, and on her podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, she didn’t hide her frustration about being pulled back into a chapter she’s worked hard to move on from. “I’m annoyed… I already lived that. I don’t necessarily want to go back there because to me it’s just dark and sad,” she said, adding that people forget she’s the one who has to relive that trauma every time it’s brought up. “Do people think I just like talking about this all day long? No, it’s traumatic.”
According to Kardashian, she didn’t jump at the opportunity to participate in the documentary either. In fact, she hesitated for months. “I was contemplating… I don’t know if I want to do that,” she explained, saying she only agreed after being reassured it would be handled in a more positive light. “I said, I want to make sure this is a positive piece… he’s been through enough negative.”

But when she finally saw the documentary, she was left questioning what the story was even trying to say. “I was still trying to figure out what the takeaway was… you’re telling me that you have nothing to show… your sobriety journey?” she said, pointing out that the narrative felt incomplete and, at times, deflective.
Khloé also addressed some of the claims made in the film directly, especially his suggestion that he pursued her for fame. “I’m watching how she lives and their lifestyle,” he says in the doc. “I’m like, ‘This is how I want to live.’”
Firing back, the Good American founder said, “You’re sitting on camera saying you married me for fame?… I feel so dumb. I spent hours and time doing this documentary as a favor.”

And while she’s kept much of that time private, she hinted there’s still a lot she hasn’t shared. “I haven’t said 90% of the story I have… this was only 10%,” she revealed, before adding a pointed warning: “Don’t take our kindness for weakness.”
