Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom’s relationship history has been a bit messy, but that doesn’t mean the Good American founder doesn’t want the best for her ex-husband. After Odom announced that he would be joining the adult-content subscription site OnlyFans, Kardashian reportedly had an interesting reaction.
According to Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice, Khloé understands the business aspect behind Lamar’s unexpected career move and gets why fans are curious about her ex-husband following an NBA career, substance abuse struggles, reality TV appearances, health problems, and their high-profile divorce.
What Does Khloé Kardashian Think About Lamar Odom’s Latest Career Move?
“Khloé knows Lamar intimately, and she understands why people are fascinated by him,” an insider tells the outlet. “She knows he has a larger-than-life personality, and his reputation certainly gives people another reason to look.”
As for Odom’s thoughts behind the announcement, he’s reportedly ready to make money off the curiosity surrounding his personal life. “Lamar knows people are curious about his body, and he’s ready to cash in on that curiosity,” a source tells Naughty But Nice. “He knows his reputation, he knows what people want to see, and he’s hoping to turn that interest into serious money.”
Lamar announced his new endeavor on October 27, revealing that subscribers would get a look into parts of his life he’s kept hidden despite his public persona. Odom’s girlfriend, Rachel Bradley, has also launched her own account, and it’s possible that the couple may collaborate in the future.
It’s worth noting that Khloé hasn’t publicly commented on Lamar’s OnlyFans announcement. The reported reaction comes from an unnamed source speaking to Shuter’s outlet.
Lamar Odom Isn’t Revealing Exactly What Fans Will See
While OF is often associated with adult content, the platform also hosts creators who share other types of exclusive material. Odom has been somewhat vague about what subscribers can expect, leaving plenty of room for speculation.
“People hear OF and automatically think one thing, but I’m not here to tell you what you will or won’t see,” he told TMZ. “I’ve lived a pretty wild life, and trust me, there are still a few surprises left. I’ve always been an open book, but there are some chapters people haven’t seen yet,” the former basketball player added.
His account bio reads, “🤗 2X NBA CHAMPION 🏆 | LAKERS LEGEND. You’ve seen me on the court. You’ve seen me on TV. Now get to know the REAL me. A little more personal. A little more playful. And a side of Lamar you haven’t seen before. Come inside my world.“
According to TMZ, Lamar is expected to post some risque content, although he hasn’t revealed exactly what that will involve. His girlfriend, Rachel, has also joined the platform, and the two may film content together in the future.
Khloé And Lamar’s Messy Relationship History
Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom got married in 2009, just 30 days after their first meeting. The couple walked down the aisle in a lavish ceremony that was filmed by reality TV cameras and attended by a plethora of celebrity guests. However, their relationship eventually fell apart amid Odom’s substance abuse struggles and reported infidelity.
In 2013, Kardashian filed for divorce. However, in 2015, when Lamar suffered a near-fatal overdose at a Nevada brothel, Khloé put the divorce proceedings on hold while he recovered. She remained by his side during his lengthy hospital stay and recovery. The couple eventually finalized their divorce in 2016.
In 2026, Kardashian appeared in a documentary about Lamar’s life, Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom. However, the experience reportedly left her frustrated after some of the comments made about their marriage and her involvement in his recovery.
During the documentary, Odom discussed the appeal of Kardashian’s famous family and lifestyle, describing their marriage as a “power trip.” When Khloé addressed his comments on her podcast, she made it clear that she wasn’t happy with the way their relationship was being portrayed.
“You’re sitting on camera saying you married me for fame? Like, what?” she said. “That’s some f—ed up s—. I feel so dumb,” she added. Khloé also explained that she had spent hours participating in the documentary as a favor to her ex-husband. “I spent hours doing this documentary as a favor. I’m not paid one penny,” she said. “I’m p—ed that I’m even involved.”
According to E! News, Kardashian also took issue with comments she felt questioned her role in helping Lamar after his overdose. Odom, meanwhile, disputed aspects of how his comments and the documentary’s portrayal of their relationship were interpreted.
Social Media Has A Lot To Say About The Announcement
After hearing the news of Lamar’s latest career move, fans had a lot to say. Some made jokes about the situation, while others defended Odom’s decision to share his life on the platform.
“For clarity sake, OF is not what your people think it is, is just where people pay to watch exclusive content, and the content can be anything,” one person wrote via X. “What a move,” said another. “Go get that cash,” a third person chimed in.
Others weren’t quite as sure what to make of the announcement. “How does this even happen?” one person asked, while another joked, “Two rings, a reality show… and now OF. Retirement plans have really changed.”
What Other Professional Athletes Are On The Platform?
While Odom is being described by TMZ as the first NBA star to join the platform, he’s certainly not the first professional athlete to use the platform.
Other athletes who have joined include UFC fighter Paige VanZant, Canadian Olympic pole vaulter Alysha Newman, and UK Olympic diver Jack Laugher, according to FeedSpot.
OF has become a way for athletes and other public figures to connect directly with fans and offer exclusive content outside their traditional careers. For Khloe Kardashian’s ex, Lamar Odom, it appears to be another way to capitalize on the public’s ongoing interest in his life, both on and off the basketball court.
