Khloe Kardashian and ex Lamar Odom reflected on his recovery from his 2015 drug overdose during their first meeting in nine years, including her efforts to help him learn to walk again.
Khloe Kardashian is looking back at her and Lamar Odom’s darkest moments.
As part of her reunion with her ex-husband—the first face-to-face interaction between the former couple in nine years—the reality star reflected on being by his side through his recovery from a 2015 drug overdose, including helping him learn how to walk again.
During the Feb. 13 episode of The Kardashians, viewers saw unearthed footage documenting the 45-year-old’s rehabilitation process after he was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel. In the video, the two-time NBA champion, clad in a hospital gown, slowly made his way down a hallway with the help two nurses and a walker as Khloe, 40, told him, “You’re doing so well.”
While Lamar—who was married to Khloe from 2009 to 2016—had little recollection of his ordeal, the Good American founder tersely reminded him that she “was there through it all,” including his relapse just months after his near-fatal overdose.
“I punched you in the face,” she said of confronting him about his return to drugs, “and I shattered everything in that house.”
And even though Lamar said he couldn’t recall the exchange, he didn’t contest her recollection, adding, “That s–t shouldn’t have happened.”

In a confessional interview featured in the episode, Khloe—who went on to welcome daughter True, 6, and son Tatum, 2, with Tristan Thompson—explained how the experience shaped her perspective on substance abuse.
“I do believe addiction is a disease,” she said. “I really, really do.”
But Khloe also realized she can only do so much to help others fight their demons.
“I had to learn the hard way that I can’t save anyone in that position,” she went on. “I almost lost myself—and I probably did at some points—trying to save him.”
