Former NBA star Lamar Odom recently revealed how his ex-wife Khloe Kardashian discovered he was cheating on her with another woman.
Odom, 46, and Kardashian, 42, tied the knot in 2009 after dating for just a month. She ultimately filed for divorce in 2016 after separating in 2013.
The two-time NBA champion recalled the moment during an appearance on the Nothing’s Off the Table podcast, US Weekly reported.
“My first stint in rehab was because she took me to the rehab,” Odom said in reference to Kardashian. “My f***ing dumb ass, [I was] hanging out with this girl. … This is how you know the addict brain works f***ing bananas. I’m married to [Khloé] and whatever. I’m know this girl and girl’s like, ‘Let’s go up to Big Bear.’”
Odom said he met up with the woman despite being aware that he was a married man.
“It had to be [on] a summertime on a weekday, and I go to Big Bear. Wife can’t find me looking for me, obviously,” he recalled. “I think I’m getting so high on the way up there, just sniffing and snorting. I don’t know the f*** if I was smoking … but the girl must have been scared to death [when] I must have dozed off.”
The woman ultimately used Odom’s phone to call Kardashian to inform her about “where [they were] going to be at.”
“First, she lets my wife know, obviously, what I’m doing,” Odom disclosed. “[We] get back to the girl’s house, put some coke on the table, sniffing the line, and I just see a head come around the corner, and the lady says, ‘Lamby,’ and it was their mother, Kris [Jenner]. I remember I was f***ed up.”
Odom also stated that there were about “six SUVs” outside the home and on standby to transport him to a facility for treatment, US Weekly reported.
“I had to go, and that was just my first stint in rehab,” he explained. “My first night and rehab … my heart and soul reached out to every one of [my friends who were incarcerated]. I think that’s how I gained some strength and some courage.”
In October 2015, Odom had a brush with death after he was found unresponsive in a Nevada brothel following an alleged drug overdose. The incident left him in a coma and on life support. He also suffered kidney failure, heart attacks, and multiple strokes.
Odom recently sought treatment again at a rehabilitation facility after his DUI arrest in January, and he’s currently sober.
“[I] my sponsor, who’s a stone-cold G, like, 23 years sober,” he disclosed. “[I] went to NA or AA meetings with him for the first 30 days, so we became really close and that was another humbling experience for me. … I don’t [ever] really want to stop working on myself, and I think that’s the most important thing that I can do for me and my family.”
