Lamar Odom Reveals He Left Taraji P. Henson Because He “Fell In Love” With Khloe Kardashian, In A 2019 Resurfaced Interview

Lamar Odom, 42, and Taraji P. Henson are trending on Twitter after a 2019 interview of Lamar has resurfaced. The retired NBA star was featured in an episode of TV One’s, “Uncensored” where he discussed his past relationship with actress Taraji P. Henson, 51, and revealed that he ended their relationship to be with Khloe Kardashian. In the resurfaced clip, Lamar Odom reflected on his relationship with Taraji and the positive impact she had on his life.

“ I met Taraji at a HBO party. I met her and we hit it off right away. And I really really started liking her…. I just wish I would have done things different with her. She was a little older than me, but I learned a lot from her because that was the most significant relationship as a grown-up that I had with a Black woman. I used to carry her picture on the road with me. Don’t nobody know that, except for the dudes that played with me. She gave me inspiration. A Black woman working like that… that’s just as good with her craft as I am in my craft.”

The former L.A. Lakers player went on to recall a time the team played the Cleveland Cavaliers, and he “went off on their a**” as he thought about getting back to Taraji P. Henson.

“I remember we were on the road for our longest road trip and we were playing Cleveland. And I went off on their a**, but part of the inspiration of me going back to see her and getting back to L.A., was one of the reasons I kicked their a** that night. I remember how I was feeling during that game and after that game. She inspired me.”

Despite all of this inspiration and love for Taraji, he ended up falling for Khloe Kardashian. Lamar Odom added,

“Things ended with Taraji because me being an immature punk, I didn’t know how to tell her that I was falling in love with another woman named Khloe Kardashian.”
