Lamar Odom is opening up about his addiction in a new trailer for “TMZ Presents: Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs & Kardashians”.
The former Los Angeles Lakers player tells host Harvey Levin in the clip, “Drugs, that was my girlfriend. I had a wife … and cocaine.”
Odom, who was married to Khloé Kardashian from 2009 to 2016, insists he “had” to tell his wife at the time about his drug abuse for at least “part” of their marriage because he couldn’t “hide that forever.”
