Lamar Odom faced backlash after ordering a custom-made sex doll that, according to his manager, was designed to look like his ex-wife Khloe Kardashian.
Lamar, a former NBA player, was married to Khloe from 2009 to 2016, and their relationship was often in the news.
Now, with each of them living separate lives, Lamar recently visited the RealDoll sex toy facility in Las Vegas to make this purchase, his manager Gina Rodriguez told TMZ.
In the end, Lamar ordered a doll with a face that looked like Khloe. His manager told TMZ that Lamar “can do whatever he wants with the doll.”
Lamar Odom is believed to have received a discount on the sex doll, which can cost anywhere from $8,000 to $20,000. He described one of the dolls as so realistic it looked like “she got blood running through her veins,” while also touching the doll inappropriately.
The doll Lamar ordered is still being made but is expected to be delivered before the holidays.
After seeing videos and photos of Lamar with the doll, many people shared their opinions on social media, with most expressing disgust. One person called it “beyond weird and creepy,” while another said, “Eww this is so creepy… why would you even want that?”
In response to the controversy, Lamar’s manager, Gina Rodriguez, explained that his decision to buy the doll modeled after his ex-wife Khloe Kardashian was a way for him to deal with his past relationship. She said it could be a way for Lamar to feel comfort and closure, even if it seems unusual.
UNILAD also reached out to Khloe’s team for a comment, and Lamar and Khloe’s divorce was finalized in 2016 after years of public drama.
Lamar Odom’s relationship with Khloe Kardashian was affected by cheating scandals. In his 2019 memoir, Darkness to Light, he opened up about the pressure of being in the public eye.
He wrote that at first, he was faithful to Khloe, but the stress of being famous, struggling with addiction, and dealing with a fading career led him to cheat. He said he battled paranoia, anxiety, and depression, which made things worse. He admitted to having sex with more than 2,000 women and struggling with both sex addiction and cocaine addiction.
In an interview with People, Lamar said he wished he could have been better to Khloe and still feels regret about his actions. He added that regret is something we all have to learn to live with.
