Khloé Kardashian has accused ex-husband Lamar Odom of 'playing in her face' after he publicly downplayed her role in his 2015 overdose recovery while promoting his new Netflix documentaryUntold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom.
The report came afterKhloé Kardashian agreed to sit for the Netflix film, which revisits Lamar Odom's near-fatal overdose in 2015 and the long recovery that followed. At the time, Kardashian halted divorce proceedings and stayed at his hospital bedside, a decision that became a major storyline in their lives and, inevitably, in the wider Kardashian media universe.
Her involvement in the documentary was pitched as a way to tell that story with some measure of care and cooperation. Now, she says, it feels like a mistake.
Speaking candidly on her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast on Wednesday, 15 April, Kardashian admitted she wishes she had never taken part inUntold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom. 'I feel so dumb,' she told listeners, explaining that she believed she was helping Odom shape an honest account of what happened in Nevada in 2015 and in the months after. Instead, she says her efforts are being rewritten in public.

Khloé Kardashian says she joined the project at Lamar Odom's request and did it for free. According to her, there was no paycheque, no appearance fee, just a sense of obligation to someone she once considered family.
'All I did was tell the story that I was asked by you to tell,' she said. She described dropping everything to support him, including pausing the legal end of their marriage.
The tension centres on howLamar Odom has chosen to talk about his survival while promoting the Netflix documentary. In an appearance onToday, the former NBA player focused on his faith rather than Kardashian's role. 'My Lord saved my life, honestly,' the 46-year-old said, crediting God for his recovery.
For many viewers, that might seem like a fairly standard profession of faith. For Khloé Kardashian, though, it read as an erasure. OnKhloé inWonderland, she said Odom is now acting 'like I didn't do any of the things I did' and suggested thathis version of events implies she is exaggerating or fabricating her contribution.
