The long-standing tensions between Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian have resurfaced following the release of the Netflix documentary, Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom.
As of April 8, 2026, Lamar is reportedly disputing several key claims made by his ex-wife regarding his late father, Joe Odom, and the events surrounding Lamar’s near-fatal overdose in 2015.
The Disputed Claims
In the documentary and subsequent interviews this week, Khloe Kardashian detailed the harrowing days following Lamar’s overdose at a Nevada brothel. Her claims included:
- The Life Support Conflict: Khloe alleged that Joe Odom wanted to take Lamar off life support while he was comatose.
- The Beneficiary Narrative: Khloe claimed that Joe believed he was the primary beneficiary of Lamar’s estate and was acting out of financial interest.
Lamar’s Rebuttal
Sources close to the former NBA star tell TMZ that Lamar is “confused” and hurt by these characterizations of his father, who passed away in 2021.
- Father-Son Bond: Lamar stated that while he was “knocked out” in the hospital and cannot personally verify what was said, he fundamentally does not believe his father would have pushed to end his life.
- The Paperwork: Sources clarified that at the time of the overdose, Khloe Kardashian was the only beneficiary listed for his NBA retirement and estate. They argue this proves Joe Odom had no financial motive to see Lamar pass away, as he stood to inherit nothing.
Context: The “Untold” Documentary
The documentary has reignited public interest in the couple’s volatile four-year marriage (2009–2013/16). While the film was intended to highlight Lamar’s recovery and the complexities of addiction, it has instead sparked a “he-said, she-said” media cycle regarding the Odom family legacy.
Point of Contention Khloe’s Version Lamar’s Version
Joe Odom’s Intent: Allegedly wanted to pull the plug. Believes his father wanted him to live.
Financial Motive Joe thought he was the beneficiary. Khloe was the only beneficiary.
Current Standing: Focused on sharing her “truth” of the trauma. Feels his late father’s name is being tarnished.
The Kardashian-Odom Timeline (2026 Update)
Despite their divorce being finalized in 2016, the two remain inextricably linked in the media. Lamar has spent much of early 2026 promoting his wellness centers and his “Odom Recovery Group,” while Khloe continues to document her life and past experiences on her various platforms.
Would you like me to look for any official response from Khloe’s legal team regarding these beneficiary claims, or perhaps more details on the “Untold” documentary’s ratings?
