In a surprising revelation, Lamar Odom admitted to purchasing a custom sex doll designed to resemble his ex-wife, Khloé Kardashian. Speaking on the We’re Out of Time podcast, the former NBA star shared that the unique purchase was tied to his mental health journey.
“When you’re really thinking about it, [it’s] like a doll,” Odom explained. “But then you think about mental health and how important that is—not just today but throughout time. A sex doll that looks like your wife is about mental health.”
Odom, 45, acknowledged the unconventional nature of his decision. “It’s sick, but I think we’re all a little off, a little weird,” he admitted. “They’re gonna make it look like her. I need, like, a harem.”
Reflecting on a Complicated Past
Odom and Kardashian’s whirlwind romance began with a highly publicized wedding in September 2009, just one month after meeting. However, their relationship unraveled in 2013 due to Odom’s infidelity and struggles with addiction. Kardashian filed for divorce that December, though the process was delayed after Odom’s near-fatal overdose in 2015.
Despite their separation, Kardashian stayed by his side during his recovery, calling off divorce proceedings to help him heal. The divorce was finalized in December 2016.
Odom has frequently expressed regret for his actions during their marriage. On Celebrity Big Brother in 2022, he said, “It would be a blessing just to be in her presence to tell her I’m sorry and what a fool I was. She has the right to never see me again, but time moves on, and people change. I would say I’m a lot more loyal now.”
Current Dynamics Between Lamar Odom and Khloé Kardashian
While Odom and Kardashian no longer speak regularly, the basketball player believes there is still a mutual respect. “She still cares about me,” he said. “I don’t speak to her, but I can text her, and she’ll reply.”
Kardashian, who shares two children with ex Tristan Thompson, remains focused on her family and personal growth. On The Kardashians, she shared, “I don’t need anyone. When I’m at the place when I wanna date, I will.”
