Former NBA star Lamar Odom recently visited a sex doll factory and sparked intense online discussion. During a tour of RealDoll’s Las Vegas facility, known for its high-end life-size creations, Odom not only explored the designs but ordered a custom doll modeled after his ex-wife, Khloe Kardashian. The unique purchase, shared widely across social media, led many to speculate about Odom’s lingering feelings for Kardashian.
A Custom Design for Lamar Odom
According to Odom’s manager, Gina Rodriguez, the 45-year-old former Lakers player was inspired to make the purchase after seeing the dolls in news stories a month ago. “He instantly knew he needed one,” she shared with TMZ. Odom’s customized doll request included “voluptuous curves” and facial features designed to resemble Kardashian, reportedly as a gift to himself for his birthday.
Rodriguez explained that Odom’s choice of resemblance stemmed from his desire to replicate his previous partner. “Because he can do whatever he wants with her sexually,” Rodriguez stated, indicating Odom’s intent to personalize the doll down to specific physical features. In video footage from the factory, Odom appeared animated and intrigued by the dolls, remarking on one with “big curves” as he examined several silicone figures up close.
Fans Call for Closure
Odom and Kardashian’s high-profile romance captivated fans when the two wed in 2009, after just a month of dating. Their marriage became a main storyline on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and even led to a spinoff show, Khloé & Lamar. However, in 2013, Kardashian filed for divorce amid Odom’s struggles with substance abuse and infidelity, and their divorce was finalized in 2016.
Now, some fans are questioning Odom’s ongoing attachment to his ex-wife. “Let it go, man,” one commenter posted, calling the custom doll “obsessive.” Others described the purchase as “weird” and “a little much.” Despite the backlash, Odom reportedly received a discount on the doll, which generally costs between $8,000 and $20,000.
Representatives for Kardashian and Odom have not commented publicly on the controversial purchase. As for Odom, he seems unfazed, saying he appreciates “the artistic design” of RealDoll’s work.
