In an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Khloé Kardashian revisited one of the most painful chapters of her life — the night she discovered her then-husband, Lamar Odom, cheating on her in a Downtown Los Angeles motel. The reality star, now 40, recalled how she “went ballistic” after tracking Lamar down and catching him with another woman, saying, “I saw in the window that him and this girl were… they were either naked or she was in lingerie, something like that.”
Khloé revealed she had knocked on the motel room door, and surprisingly, they answered. “I just started going ballistic,” she said. The confrontation turned physical, and the next day, she attended her niece Penelope’s birthday party with her knuckles wrapped in bandanas. “My knuckles were all bloody and gross… I acted as if nothing ever happened. And I don’t think I ever said a thing.”
Lamar later described that moment as “one of the darkest places” in his life, calling it “rock bottom.” Their seven-year marriage, which began in 2009 and officially ended in 2016, was marred by Lamar’s struggles with addiction and infidelity.
During the interview, Khloé revealed that her sister Kim Kardashian often learned about cheating scandals before she did. “Kim has known about the cheating. I think both of the cheating stuff. I think Kim found out first,” she said, adding that their mother Kris Jenner also knew before her and had to break the news. “She has more times than less, her and Kim.”
Recalling Tristan Thompson’s 2018 cheating scandal — which surfaced just days before Khloé gave birth to their daughter True — she noted,
“Kim found out… while she was in the interview chair” filming Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Khloé admitted she was grateful the news came from family: “I would rather a family member than a stranger.”
Reflecting on her past, Khloé confessed to using trackers and acknowledged her behavior stemmed from betrayal. “Do not act like you did not put me in this position… and make me be this psychopath,” she said. “It was an obsession and an addiction.”
Despite the heartbreak, Khloé has moved forward. “The best thing is when you’re free of that. I pray I never am back there again,” she shared.
