Just when we thought Lamar Odom had turned a corner, he’s back to leaving us cringing - and Khloé Kardashian agrees.
The former basketball star, who’s had more than his fair share of headline-making moments, has once again landed in hot water, this time for talking about a lookalike sex doll of his ex. Yes, you read that correctly.
In the season six finale of "The Kardashians," Kardashian, 40, revealed to her mom Kris Jenner and longtime friend Malika Haqq that she’s not really in touch with Odom, 45.
But that hasn’t stopped him from sliding into her DMs with, as she put it, “the strangest f------ videos.”
“Is it him with your blow-up doll?” Jenner, 69, joked, and while it sounded like a wild guess, she wasn’t far off.
Kardashian then read aloud from an article covering Lamar’s interview on the "We’re Out of Time" podcast in November, where he claimed that a sex doll modelled after her was “about mental health.”
"It's sick, but I think we're all a little off, a little weird," Lamar said in the interview, casually mentioning that he’d want “a harem” of dolls and that it was appealing to be able to “do whatever [he] wants with her sexually.”
Kardashian reacted by saying, “So demonic and unwell.”
And frankly, who could blame her?
It’s not the first time Lamar’s said something off-colour. Back in 2013, he shocked fans when he released a freestyle video where he made vulgar remarks about his then-wife.
According to multiple reports at the time, Lamar rapped about her intimate body odour in an unprovoked rant that many labelled as misogynistic and humiliating.
And now he’s taken it a step further with a sex doll that, in his own words, resembles his ex-wife.
Lamar Odom bought an $8,000 sex doll modeled after his ex-wife Khloe Kardashian so he could "do whatever he wants with her sexually".

Sex dolls aren’t new, but what’s raising eyebrows here is the personal nature of Lamar’s fixation. These dolls, often made from silicone and designed with realistic features, have gained popularity in recent years.
For some, they serve as a psychological crutch offering companionship without the emotional demands of a real relationship. Others view them as a way to fulfil fantasies without judgment. But when a real person is the model - especially an ex - things start to feel invasive.
Psychologically, experts say this kind of behaviour can reflect unresolved attachment issues, a desire for control, or even narcissistic tendencies.
It allows the individual to recreate a relationship dynamic where they hold all the power but at the cost of someone else's dignity.
Kardashian reflected on the situation in a confessional: “I found out about Lamar’s blow-up doll I think the same way any of us found out, it was on the internet. Not sure why that’s something we’re publicly talking about.”
“I’m supposed to be flattered by this?” she added. “It’s more — man, this validates just how different we are and how much we’ve grown apart, and it’s creepy, and it’s weird, but I’m not hurt by it. It’s his journey. It’s just weird and gross.”
Honestly, it gives the same energy as high school boys thinking it’s a compliment to say they masturbated to your image. It’s invasive, objectifying, and not cute.
