A Surprising Visit to RealDoll
Lamar Odom, former Los Angeles Lakers star, recently drew attention with his unique purchase: a custom-made doll modeled after his ex-wife, Khloé Kardashian. His manager revealed that Odom became interested in RealDoll’s products after seeing them advertised about a month ago.
Shortly after, he decided he wanted a doll created specifically to resemble Kardashian. On Tuesday, Odom visited the RealDoll production facility in Las Vegas, where he was seen inspecting several life-sized dolls in the warehouse. In photos and videos captured by TMZ, the retired athlete seemed captivated by the dolls, even commenting on their appearances. At one point, Odom described a specific doll with prominent curves as “bad” in a playful tone.
A Custom Doll with Kardashian’s Features – A Bold Move
Odom requested that his doll be designed with “sensual curves” and facial features similar to Kardashian, expressing an interest in having a version of his ex-wife with whom he could do “whatever he wants” in a private setting. The price of these custom dolls ranges between $8,000 and $20,000, but Odom reportedly received a discount. Representatives for both Kardashian and Odom have yet to comment on the story, leaving fans curious about their reactions to this unusual purchase.
Odom and Kardashian: A Tumultuous Past
Odom and Kardashian married in September 2009 but separated four years later in 2013. Their relationship was marred by Odom’s struggles with infidelity and his public acknowledgment of being a sex addict. The former NBA player openly discussed cheating on Kardashian in his 2019 memoir, Darkness to Light, where he expressed regret over his actions.
In a 2019 interview with People, Odom shared his remorse, saying, “I wish I could have been more of a man.” Reflecting on his choices, he admitted that the regret of losing Kardashian still troubles him. “Regret is something we all have to learn to live with,” he added.
Odom’s Battle with Addiction and Personal Struggles
In Darkness to Light, Odom also revealed that intense public scrutiny, combined with his drug addiction, contributed to his infidelity. He confessed that in the early days of his marriage, he remained faithful to Kardashian. However, as the pressures of fame, addiction, and a declining career mounted, he found it increasingly difficult to stay committed.
Odom disclosed in his memoir the extent of his addictions, describing a fierce battle with both sex and cocaine. He admitted to sleeping with over two thousand women and struggled to control his impulses, recounting his experiences with paranoia, anxiety, and depression.
Life After Kardashian and New Relationships
In 2015, Odom suffered a near-fatal overdose, during which Kardashian remained supportive despite their separation. He later described her support as “unconditional,” acknowledging her continued presence in his life during difficult times. Since parting ways with Kardashian, Odom was romantically involved with Sabrina Parr from November 2019 to November 2020. He has not publicly dated anyone else since. Meanwhile, Kardashian has had her own turbulent relationship history, dating Tristan Thompson from 2016 to 2021, with whom she shares two children.
Lamar Odom’s decision to create a custom doll resembling Khloé Kardashian has attracted significant interest. As both Odom and Kardashian move on with their separate lives, this purchase highlights the lasting impact Kardashian has had on Odom, even years after their split. The unusual nature of this purchase sparks conversations about the intersections of love, loss, and the ways individuals cope with their past relationships.
