Khloé Kardashian opened up about a tumultuous time in her life during a recent appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, revealing how she felt she turned into a ‘psychopath’ when she caught her then-husband, Lamar Odom, cheating on her in a downtown L.A. motel.
It was 3 a.m. when Kardashian discovered Odom’s infidelity, a revelation that sparked an emotional response she still reflects on today.
On the podcast, she recounted how she had seen Twitter chatter about Odom’s whereabouts and scoured the #LamarOdom hashtag for clues to his location.
When Odom later asked how she found him, Kardashian pointed out the obviousness of his identity—being a 7-foot tall, famous member of the Los Angeles Lakers made him quite easy to spot.
“Everyone knows who you are. Like, you’re very identifiable,” Kardashian remarked, recalling the emotional chaos of the night at the motel, which was described as less than luxurious.
Once at the motel, Kardashian approached the front desk and inquired about Odom’s room.
Upon receiving an answer, she made her way toward the door where she witnessed Odom with another woman, either naked or in lingerie.
“I knocked on the door; they answered it for some reason, and I just started going ballistic,” she shared with candor.
The fallout from that night stayed with her, as she revealed she attended a cowboy-themed birthday party for her sister Kourtney’s daughter, Penelope, the very next day, with bloody knuckles wrapped in bandannas.
“I was on theme,” Kardashian quipped, although she noted she acted as if nothing had happened, struggling to contain the turmoil she felt inside.
Kardashian described Odom’s stunned reaction upon realizing she had tracked him down, emphasizing how much his infidelity hurt her.
“I don’t give a s—, I’m not telling anybody anything. And why are you in a motel in downtown L.A. at 3 in the morning?” she recounted.
Their marriage ultimately ended in divorce, although the process was delayed due to Odom’s near-fatal overdose in 2015, which left him in a coma.
At the time, Kardashian’s health insurance covered him during his recovery from 12 strokes and six heart attacks, complicating the legal aspects of their separation.
They temporarily called off their divorce before finally concluding their relationship the next year.
During her podcast conversation, host Alex Cooper noted how some actions in relationships can push someone to become unrecognizable.
Kardashian resonated with this sentiment, expressing that her experiences with betrayal had a significant impact on her, transforming her into a version of herself she didn’t recognize.
“It’s like, do not act like you did not put me in this position and you did not make me be this psychopath,” she stated.
She emphasized that this type of behavior should be regarded as a red flag in future relationships, expressing sentimentality yet a tinge of bitterness about her past.
Acknowledging the pain of infidelity, Cooper shared her own experience with a cheating boyfriend, confessing how an iPad became an obsession that ultimately required intervention from friends.
Kardashian sympathized, stating, “It’s an obsession and an addiction and the best thing is when you’re free of that. And I pray I’m never back there again.”
After her marriage to Odom ended, Kardashian began a relationship with another basketball player, Tristan Thompson, and welcomed their daughter, True Thompson.
However, during her pregnancy in 2018, she discovered that Thompson had also been unfaithful.
The following year brought another emotional turbulence for Kardashian when rumors surfaced regarding Thompson and Jordyn Woods, a friend of her sister, Kylie Jenner.
Though Woods vehemently denied the allegations, the speculation caused significant public drama for Kardashian.
At one point, Thompson even proposed to Kardashian, but she chose to keep that proposal a secret and did not accept it.
Despite their many struggles, Kardashian and Thompson’s relationship continued to evolve, leading to a public back-and-forth that exposed Kardashian to widespread criticism.
They attempted to reconcile in 2020, discussing having another baby and even went house shopping together.
However, Thompson’s behavior continued to complicate matters, including fathering a child with another woman, further fracturing their bond.
Kardashian admitted on the podcast that her trust was irreparably damaged, stating that if she had not had True, she would not have considered rekindling their relationship after his first betrayal.
Today, she articulated a sense of acceptance concerning their past.
Despite everything, she and Thompson have established a co-parenting friendship, which allows them to focus on their children while navigating their own complex emotional terrain.
Reflecting on her past experiences, Kardashian expressed her feelings of disappointment towards her younger sisters, admitting she felt she had let them down by staying in a relationship that they predicted would ultimately lead to more heartache.
“I still feel really horrible about that,” she concluded.
