'The bridge is burned'

November 12, 2026, 7:24 a.m. Central time.

Khloé Kardashian has closed the door permanently on any reconciliation or friendship with ex-husband Lamar Odom, declaring the former NBA champion “dead to me” following his comments in a recent streaming documentary.

The blunt declaration came during Thursday's new episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, where the Good American co-founder addressed the fallout from Netflix's Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, as reported by US Weekly.

Kardashian revealed that she agreed to sit for an extensive interview for the documentary purely as an unpaid favor to support Odom's career, only to feel blindsided by how their seven-year marriage was characterized by Odom and his friends.

The Netflix fallout

According to Kardashian, the finished film featured Odom and members of his entourage suggesting that he was never genuinely in love with her and married into the famous family primarily for pop-culture clout and lifestyle advantages, according to Morning Honey.

“I don't need [him] to thank me. Just don't talk about me. Don't discredit me,” Kardashian said during a candid conversation on the show. “The bridge is burned and there's no more rope left to throw over. So he is dead to me.”

Kardashian called the remarks “really, really lame” and hurtful, pointing out the immense emotional and practical sacrifices she made throughout their relationship and during his subsequent health crises.

A turbulent history revisited

The couple married in September 2009 after a whirlwind 30-day courtship, later chronicling their life together on the reality spin-off Khloé & Lamar. Kardashian filed for divorce in December 2013 amid Odom's struggles with substance abuse and infidelity.

When Odom suffered a near-fatal overdose at a Nevada brothel in October 2015 that left him in a coma and triggered multiple strokes, Kardashian temporarily withdrew her divorce petition to maintain his medical power of attorney and finance his rehabilitation.

The divorce was ultimately finalized in December 2016. While Odom had spent recent years publicly expressing regret and expressing hope for friendly contact, Kardashian made clear that this latest portrayal of their past represents the absolute final line.
