Lamar Odom no longer speaks to Khloe Kardashian due to his ‘behaviour’: ‘I miss the family tremendously’

Lamar Odom has been cut off from contact with his ex-wife Khloe Kardashian, and admits it’s because of his ‘bad decisions’. 

The retired NBA player was married to the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star for four years between 2009 and 2013. 

However, Khloe, 36, became a pillar of support for Lamar, 41, when he fell into a coma after collapsing at a Nevada brothel in 2015. For a short time, the former basketball star was taken in again by the Kardashian-Jenner family but, his relationship with his former in-laws has evaporated in the years since. 

Revealing the real reason they no longer speak, Lamar told Sirius XM’s Radio Andy: ‘Unfortunately, you know, due to my behaviour and some bad decisions, we don’t really talk any longer.’ 

He then admitted: ‘I miss their family tremendously. We have to live with the decisions that we make and then, hopefully in time people heal and [will] be able to forgive me. 

‘Of course, anyone’s always gonna miss love. That’s genuine. You know, the personalities, just spending time with them, it was one of the best times in my adult life.’ 

Following their divorce in 2016, Khloe moved on with Boston Celtics player Tristan Thompson and had daughter True, now three, while Lamar was recently engaged to Sabrina Parr before splitting. 

In his 2019 memoir Darkness To Light, Lamar revealed shocking details of his marriage to Khloe, including how he threatened ‘to kill’ his then-wife during a drug-fuelled rage. 

Recalling the terrifying incident in his book, Lamar screamed at Khloe: ‘What the f**k are you doing?

‘You trying to embarrass me in front of my friends? I’ll f*****g kill you. You don’t know what I’m capable of.’

He later apologised for the incident in an interview with Good Morning Britain and said: ‘I’m pretty sure she had to be scared at that point in time. I’m thinking about it now, like, I couldn’t believe how I was treating that queen like that.

‘[I owe] her and her family an apology. Big time.’

He added: ‘Her friends and family, they had to be embarrassed. I was just thinking about trying to go have fun.’
