Khloe Kardashian‘s ex-husband, Lamar Odom, completely shocked fans this week when he announced that he had commissioned an adult-themed doll in the reality star’s image. The former NBA player shared his experience with his followers as he checked out his new purchase and readied to take it home with him. The doll is life-sized and shares an uncanny resemblance to Kardashian, which is reportedly exactly what Odom wanted.
Fans were obviously stunned by Lamar Odom’s reveal of the Khloe Kardashian-themed doll. Many took to social media to share their thoughts on the wild news. However, for the athlete, it’s said to be a way for him to move on from the pain of the past and cope with his issues regarding Khloe in a healthy way.
The former LA Laker’s thought process about buying the doll was revealed by his representative. The rep tells The Mirror that the purchase was a very personal one for Odom, who is on a healing journey. The rep went on to reveal that the method is obviously “unconventional,” it will be a way for Lamar to “make peace” with the part of his life that he felt was unresolved.
Lamar Odom Buys Adult-Themed Doll Modeled After Khloe Kardashian
“Lamar Odom’s choice to purchase a RealDoll modeled after his ex speaks to the complex ways people process and cope with significant relationships from their past. It’s possible that this RealDoll represents a unique blend of nostalgia, comfort, and a way to reconcile his personal journey,” the rep revealed.
“While it may seem unconventional, it’s a very personal form of expression that allows him to channel and make peace with those memories in a private and non-destructive way. Everyone has their own methods for dealing with meaningful chapters in life, and for Lamar, this may be a way of revisiting that part of his past with a sense of control and resolution,” the statement added.
Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian were married in 2009. The pair had a whirlwind romance as they walked down the aisle just one month after meeting at a party. The duo stayed together through some of Odom’s toughest times. They even shared their lives on their very own reality TV spin-off. However, after claims of substance abuse and infidelity, Kardashian filed for divorce. The couple’s split was dragged out after Odom had a near-fatal health issue. However, they finalized their divorce in 2016.
“This is so beyond creepy. I wish I knew what Khloe thought about it,” one person commented.
“So gross,” another said.
Khloe went on to share her life with another NBA player, Tristan Thompson. Kardashian and Thompson welcomed two children together, True and Tatum. However, their volatile relationship was cut short after the athlete was involved in several cheating scandals.
Over the years, Lamar Odom has been very vocal about still having a lot of love for Khloe Kardashian. However, the Good American founder hasn’t been as vocal about her ex-husband. So far she’s staying quiet about Odom’s life-sized adult doll that he designed with her in mind. However, the subject could be broached on an upcoming episode of her family’s TV series.
It’s likely an awkward situation for Khloe, who has often found herself in the spotlight for less than flattering situations. However, the Kar-Jenners aren’t staying tight-lipped on the subject for now.
