KHLOE Kardashian’s fans bashed her ex Lamar Odom for “milking” his relationship with the reality star after he mentioned their history during a promo for Celebrity Big Brother.
The former NBA star joined the cast for season three of the CBS reality series.
Lamar’s addition to the star-studded cast was announced on Wednesday followed by a promotional video featuring each of the members.
The show’s official Instagram page shared the clip, which included the Los Angeles Lakers alum introducing himself.
“My name is Lamar Odom. People may know me for winning two championship with the L.A. Lakers,” he began his segment before mentioning his connection to the reality TV world.
“And they also may know me for me marrying Khloe Kardashian. We had our own TV show,” he continued with a repulsed look on his face referring to the former couple’s spin-off series on E! fittingly titled: Khloe and Lamar.
Fans of Lamar’s ex-wife bashed the athlete for his comment about his former relationship with the TV star claiming he was seeking attention.
“Lamar still out here milking his relationship with Khloe,” one Reddit user posted.
While several others pointed out his facial expression when he brought up his ex with one writing: “Lamar was reading from a prompt. I don’t even think he wanted to say that.”
As another person replied: “His face gave it away lol he looked like he was in pain as he said that.”
Other commenters were amused by the addition of both Lamar and Travis Barker‘s ex Shanna Moakler – who the network also announced would be joining the upcoming season.
One person wrote: “Oh, Shanna AND Lamar?! Messy.”
While a second user chimed in: “Can you imagine how pissed Kris [Jenner] was when she learned about this?!”
‘SHE DESERVES THE WORLD’
Earlier this month, fans pleaded with ex basketball player to “leave Khloe alone” after he said he wanted to “reconnect” with the TV personality.
The comment came after her ex Tristan Thompson confirmed he fathered a child with personal trainer Maralee Nichols while he was still dating Khloe.
Shortly after the revelation, Lamar revealed his thoughts on the scandal writing:
“I truly wish nothing but the best for her and I’m hoping we can reconnect and talk one day as friends.
“She is a good person and deserves the world.”
FANS’ REACTIONS
Fans shared their reactions to his words in the comments section of a Comments By Celebs Instagram post, with many encouraging Khloe to not give her ex-husband another chance.
One skeptical fan wrote: “Ugh they need to both leave her alone.”
Another told Khloe to “run,” as a third chimed in: “The 2 guys who treated her bad trying to claim they know what she deserves. How ironic.”
The backlash continued as another Kardashian fan wrote: “Bro if you had ANY love or respect for her you wouldn’t have treated her the way you have. That goes for anyone in a relationship.”
WHIRLWIND ROMANCE
His comments come after he admitted to dumping actress Taraji P Henson to pursue a relationship with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum.
While appearing on TV One’s Uncensored, Lamar recalled: “I’ll never for that day because of them eyes. Her eyes are the same shape as my mothers eyes, Khloe’s.
“I didn’t even know who she was. I was Lamar Odom. I didn’t give a f**k about no Kardashians. But that night changed my life.”
Khloe and Lamar were married from 2009-2016.
Although they weren’t together, Khloe and her family were there for the athlete after his scary near-death incident in Nevada in 2015.
