“I would [have] five or six girls a week, but my demons tormented me on the one night I went home alone,” Odom said.  “I needed women as an outlet … an escape. But this does not come without problems … most of my [hookups] has been unprotected, and I’ve paid for plenty of abortions over the years,” he admitted.

Odom states that all of his encounters were “legal”, however, he “doesn’t feel proud about [them] at all.”

I’ll f’ing k-ll you! You don’t know what I’m capable of!’”

He shared that she ran upstairs due to her frustration, and later he asked his now ex-wife for forgiveness.  “I was embarrassed and ashamed,” he stated in the book. “It was a new low for our relationship and my life … the most regrettable moment in a series of regrettable moments.”

Lamar was a recent guest on The Morning Hustle radio show, and he shared that he regrets the things he’s done while married to Khloe because “she was real good” to him.  When asked if he could relive a particular time what it would be he shared, ”I would probably say it was the first time I decided to cheat on Khloe,” Lamar said. “I would rewind that back and take those things back and never let that happen.”
