Lakers Vet Lamar Odom Recalls The Reaction Kobe Bryant Had To Whirlwind Khloé Kardashian Marriage And Reality TV Stardom

2023-01-10 3

The Kardashians and Jenners face a lot of public scrutiny by choosing to live their lives in front of the camera, but it’s been proven over and over again that the attention doesn’t stop with just the members of the family. The romantic partners of the reality TV stars are often also thrust into the spotlight. So when Lamar Odom got married to Khloé Kardashian in 2009 just one month after meeting her, and became a fixture on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," you’d better believe his Los Angeles Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant got to have some say in the situation.

Lamar Odom opened up about his ex-wife and his connection to the stars of Hulu’s "The Kardashians" for the TMZ special "Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs & Kardashians." It’s easy to see how the increased attention surrounding the NBA forward could have been seen as a distraction by his Laker teammates — especially the no-nonsense Kobe Bryant — and Odom revealed what they thought about his new and sudden reality TV stardom.
