Lamar Odom recalled the highs and lows in his basketball career and personal life — namely his marriage to Khloé Kardashian and struggles with substance abuse — in his TV special, SexDrugsAndKardashians:
, but I didn’t know who Khloé was at that time," Odom recalled of meeting Khloé in 2009."I [let her know] who I was and it’s crazy because after 30 days, we’d be married. That’s spooky.”“I used to call her ma. She showed a lot of love. She was cool. I loved her. We all got into business. It was a family business — you know that, Harvey," Odom told TMZ's."I’m comfortable enough [for her to be my manager]. I’m happy enough to do it. … I made some money.
As his career on the court came to a crashing halt, Odom turned back to drugs. “Drugs — that was my girlfriend. I had a wife and cocaine,” he said. “For part of my marriage, I had to tell [Khloé]. You can’t hide that forever. … She was hurt, but Khloé was a good wife. She wasn’t dismissive or [saying], ‘Get away from me.’ … She was protective and wanted to protect me even more. She [stood by me]. I mean behind the scenes, I put her through some s—t. Like s—t that y’all don’t know.
The doc then cut to footage of an angry Odom outside of TMZ Offices in August 2015, yelling about how the outlet made him look like he was “stalking” his ex. Odom was found unresponsive and in a coma for several days before he woke up and saw Kardashian in his hospital room. Odom insisted that he didn’t knowingly do cocaine at the ranch, alleging that he was slipped drugs and claiming Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof, who died in 2018, wanted him dead. “I went there. I didn’t do drugs that night. … I got there, had the drink and woke up three days later ripping tubes out of my neck, not knowing how I got there,” he claimed. “They told me I was going to never walk or talk again. I walked into this building and I’m talking to you right now. … This is God’s plan.
