Kardashian opened up about her ex-husband’s infidelity on the latest episode of the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast
Khloé Kardashian opened up about finding her ex-husband Lamar Odom cheating in a hotel on the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast
The 40-year-old recalled “going ballistic” and ending up with “bloody” and “gross” knuckles after discovering her husband with a woman in a Downtown L.A. motel
“He could not understand how I knew where he was,” Kardashian said of the former basketball player, whom she was married to from 2009-2016
Khloé Kardashian has recalled a time she found her ex-husband Lamar Odom cheating on her and how she responded to the incident.
The reality star and Good American co-founder, 40, was married to the 45-year-old basketball player between 2009 and 2016, though they initially separated in 2013 before finalizing their divorce. While together, Odom struggled with addiction and was unfaithful in their relationship.
On the April 16 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kardashian opened up about finding her then-husband with a woman in a hotel and how she “started going ballistic.”
“We were married. He was doing his thing, and he went down to some motel in Downtown L.A. and was with a girl,” Kardashian said, estimating that she was around 26 years old at the time.
The Kardashians star said she tracked down what room Odom was in and when she got to it, “I saw in the window that him and this girl were … they were either naked or she was in lingerie, something like that.”
“I knocked on the door. They answered it for some reason, and I just started going ballistic,” Kardashian admitted on the podcast.
The next day, she had to attend a cowboy-themed birthday party for her eldest sister Kourtney Kardashian Barker’s daughter Penelope, now 12.
“My knuckles were all bloody and gross, and I just had bandanas wrapped around [them],” she said. While she joked that she was “on theme” for the event, Kardashian added that she “acted as if nothing ever happened. And I don’t think I ever said a thing.”

Khloé Kardashian Admits She ‘Sheltered’ Kylie and Kendall Jenner from Nastiness of Lamar Odom Divorce to ‘Preserve’ Their ‘Innocence’
Kardashian recalled that Odom “could not understand how I knew where he was,” adding, ‘And I was like, ‘I don’t give a s—. I’m not telling anybody anything. And why are you in a motel in Downtown L.A. at 3 in the morning?’ ”
A spokesperson for Odom did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Elsewhere in the interview, Kardashian was asked about “how far” she and her sisters would go to “get intel on a guy,” and admitted to having “trackers on people’s cars before.”
The Khloé in Wonderland podcaster said that she “hate[d]” when women are presented as “crazy” for these actions when they are in response to a man’s behavior, explaining, “Do not act like you did not put me in this position and you did not make me be this psychopath,” she said.
She described the need to know details as “an obsession and an addiction.”
“The best thing is when you’re free of that. I pray I never am back there again,” she added.
Back in 2016, Kardashian opened up about Odom being unfaithful in their marriage, telling Howard Stern in an interview, “Love is blind … Lamar was so great at making me feel like I was the only one and I’m this princess. I never speculated cheating … so I didn’t know about cheating … until before the DUI [in 2013].”
“It is humiliating on any level, but I found out he was cheating on me the majority of our marriage, I just didn’t know,” she added.
Meanwhile, Odom told PEOPLE in 2019 of his deep regret at cheating on his ex-wife. “I wish I could have been more of a man. It still bothers me to this day. But regret is something we have to learn to live with.”
Kardashian and Odom recently reunited on the season 6 premiere of her family’s reality series The Kardashians. The former couple had an awkward meeting at Kardashian’s best friend Malika Haqq’s home, marking the first time they had seen each other in nine years.
On the season 6 finale, Kardashian debriefed on the emotional reunion with her sisters, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner, and opened up about being treated like a “doormat” by her exes.
“I get offended, whether it be Tristan [Thompson] or Lamar, where these people do these outrageous things and then they see me again and act as if nothing happened. Or they’re like, ‘Oh, I wish I could put my tongue down your throat,’ ” she said.

“What does it say on my forehead? ‘F—— doormat?’” Khloé told her sisters. “It probably does to these people, because I have been, in so many different ways. But then that gets taken advantage of.”
“I’m like, all you guys, f— every single person around me, cause everyone loves to say how great I am after, but why don’t you think that before? But it’s really insulting to me,” she added.Khloé Kardashian opened up about finding her ex-husband Lamar Odom cheating in a hotel on the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast
