Lamar Odom is reflecting on his relationship with Khloe Kardashian and his near-fatal drug overdose in 2015 for his new Netflix documentary, “Untold: The Death and Life of Lamar Odom.”
It was “traumatic” to revisit that time in his life, Odom, 46, exclusively tells Page Six while promoting the new doc.
Both Odom and Kardashian appear in the doc to recount what happened. However, the former spouses didn’t reconnect during filming — the last time they actually spoke to each other was when he appeared on Season 6 of Hulu’s “The Kardashians” in 2025, he says.
“To me, it really didn’t go well. I felt like I was under attack. But, I can’t invalidate her pain and what I put it her through. She was there when I couldn’t hold my bowels,” Odom says, referring to how Kardashian was by his side when he was in a coma in the hospital following his overdose.
“She always tried to do her best, when it came to taking care of me. I know it could be a lot, especially when I was recovering from the incident,” he tells us.
In a February 2025 episode of “The Kardashians,” Khloe wanted to get “closure” with her former husband as she turned 40.
“He’s visibly uncomfortable, he’s nervous, he’s sweating,” she told the camera at the time, adding that their reunion was “very awkward.”
The Netflix documentary covers the former NBA star’s life, including his childhood in Queens, his pro basketball career, his marriage to Kardashian from 2009 to 2016, his drug addiction and his overdose at a Nevada brothel.
On screen, Kardashian recalls Odom’s infidelity, and how she used to find him at motels with drug paraphernalia and clean up after him.
“That was a man caught up in his addiction,” the former NBA star says. “I heard this one story where she said that she gave me an ultimatum.”
In the doc, Kardashian describes her ultimatum as telling Odom that he needed to go to rehab, or she would divorce him. She says that she didn’t truly want a divorce, but in 2015, he chose that option on the spot, which led to their split.
“I can’t really remember that… my brain did suffer a tremendous amount of injury while I was in a coma,” Odom says.
“I loved that lifestyle. But, I was really good at being a drug addict. I don’t know if I would give up that lifestyle for drugs. But obviously, if that came out of my mouth, that was a decision that I made, and it was a poor decision.”
Currently, he’s in a relationship with Rachel Bradley. When asked if he’d ever want to get back together with Kardashian, he says, “Some things happen for a reason. And some things, you have to bury under the bridge… I’m not the same person.”
He adds that Kardashian is, “somebody that I can’t forget, no matter what relationship I’m in, or what relationship is to come in the future.”
Odom says reflecting on their ups and downs for the doc “gives me strength to stay sober and to treat the lady I’m with now a lot better than that.”
He says that he is “grateful” for his time married to Kardashian, “but people and places in your life change. I’m just working on being my best self, and being present every day.”
“Untold: The Death and Life of Lamar Odom” premieres March 31 on Netflix.
