Lamar Odom has opened up about how he’s ’embarrassed’ by how he treated former wife Khloe Kardashian during their marriage.
The 43-year-old has shared there’s plenty that the public still doesn’t know about his ‘crazy’ behaviour during his time married to The Kardashians star Khloe.
The former NBA star was married to the reality icon, 38, for seven years after getting engaged days after first meeting in 2009, and tying the knot weeks later. They split in 2013, but their divorce wasn’t finalised until 2016.
Looking back on how he treated his wife, Lamar said he’s now ‘laughing out of embarrassment’.
In a candid interview for TMZ Presents: Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs and Kardashians, he said: ‘Behind the scenes, I put her through s***. Like, s*** that y’all don’t know. The s*** y’all know, what y’all think y’all know, it’s crazy. But the stories that y’all don’t know is, like, really crazy.
‘I’d have these random women coming out. Some of them all came out at one time.’

Lamar also confessed to having ‘full-blown relationships’ while he was married to Khloe, explaining, via People: ‘I’m, like, laughing out of embarrassment right now. Like, how you thought you was going to get away with that one?’
During the chat, the former LA Lakers player said he would ‘trick’ Khloe in order for him to be able to leave their home to do drugs with ‘random women’, however things got so out of hand at one stage it saw the women call his wife.
He revealed, via DailyMail.com: ‘I’m going so heavy with the drugs that the woman actually gets into my phone and actually calls Khloe like, “You’ve gotta come and get him. He’s going crazy, he’s going to kill himself.”‘
Lamar has been open about his battle with addiction after he survived 12 strokes and six heart attacks while in a three-day coma in 2015, after he was hospitalised for an overdose.
The star previously spoke about how he misses his ex-wife and in February, footage emerged of Lamar in the CBB US house speaking to housemate Todrick Hall and confessing he had been dreaming about Khloe – who shares two children with Tristan Thompson – the night before.
Lamar explained that they were no longer in touch, stating: ‘I miss her so much. I wish I could take that time back.’
He also recently touched on their break-up in an interview with SiriusXM, explaining they are no longer in contact due to his ‘behaviour and some bad decisions.’
The sports star admitted he misses the Kardashian family ‘tremendously’, and hopes that ‘in time people heal and [will] be able to forgive me.’
