Khloé Kardashian’s Violent Confrontation With Lamar Odom.
On the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Khloé Kardashian opened up with striking honesty about one of the most painful and chaotic moments from her past — the night she discovered her then-husband, Lamar Odom, cheating on her in a Downtown Los Angeles motel.
During the deeply personal conversation, the 40-year-old reality star and entrepreneur looked back on the confrontation with raw emotion, recalling how she "went ballistic" after tracking Odom down and catching him with another woman. The incident, she revealed, left her physically injured, with her knuckles bloodied from the outburst.
“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 shared, reflecting on the moment that unfolded when she was in her mid-20s — “around 26,” she estimated.
Although the pair officially split in 2013 and finalized their divorce in 2016, their seven-year marriage had been marked by struggles, including Odom’s public battle with addiction and repeated infidelity.
Khloé explained that on that particular night, she had managed to track Lamar down, locating the exact room he was staying in. When she arrived, she peered through the window and saw something that confirmed her worst fears.
“I saw in the window that him and this girl were... they were either naked or she was in lingerie, something like that,” she said.
Instead of walking away, she decided to confront them directly. “I knocked on the door. They answered it for some reason, and I just started going ballistic,” she admitted, the memory still sharp in her mind.
The aftermath was no less surreal. The very next day, Khloé had to attend a cowboy-themed birthday party for her niece Penelope — the daughter of her sister Kourtney Kardashian Barker, who is now 12 years old. Despite what had just happened, Khloé somehow pulled herself together and showed up for the celebration.
“My knuckles were all bloody and gross, and I just had bandanas wrapped around [them],” she said, half-joking that she was “on theme” for the party. “I acted as if nothing ever happened. And I don’t think I ever said a thing,” she added, revealing the inner strength — and silence — she carried in that moment.
Kardashian also recalled how stunned Lamar was that she found him at all. “He could not understand how I knew where he was,” she said. “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?’”
Later in the interview, the Khloé in Wonderland host was asked just how far she and her sisters were willing to go when it came to getting the truth about a man. Her response was as candid as ever.
“Oh, I’ve had trackers on people’s cars before,” she admitted, acknowledging that the drive to know the truth can sometimes become overwhelming.
She pushed back on the idea that women are “crazy” for taking such steps, insisting that the behavior often stems from being driven to desperation by lies and betrayal. “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 that phase of her life as both “an obsession and an addiction,” explaining, “The best thing is when you're free of that. I pray I never am back there again.”
Back in 2016, Khloé spoke to Howard Stern about Lamar’s infidelity, admitting how blindsided she felt by the extent of his cheating. “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],” she said.
“It is humiliating on any level,” she continued, “but I found out he was cheating on me the majority of our marriage. I just didn’t know.”
Lamar himself later expressed his regret about how he treated Khloé. Speaking to PEOPLE in 2019, he said, “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.”
Most recently, the former couple came face-to-face during the Season 6 premiere of The Kardashians. The reunion took place at the home of Khloé’s longtime best friend Malika Haqq — and it marked the first time she and Lamar had seen each other in nine years.
Reflecting on the reunion during the season finale, Khloé confided in her younger sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and shared just how hurtful it feels when her exes try to sweep the past under the rug.
“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,” she said. “Or they’re like, ‘Oh, I wish I could put my tongue down your throat.’”
She didn’t hold back as she vented her frustration: “What does it say on my forehead? ‘F------ doormat?’ It probably does to these people, because I have been, in so many different ways. But then that gets taken advantage of.”
“All you guys — f--- every single person around me,” she said. “Everyone loves to say how great I am after, but why don’t you think that before? But it’s really insulting to me.”
