Khloé Kardashian is getting candid about her marriage with Lamar Odom for Netflix's upcoming Untold documentary anthology series The Death & Life of Lamar Odom. She admits that when she was married to the former Lakers star, she found him “smoking crack” inside the home she was renting for him. This was back in 2016, after his nearly fatal overdose, which occurred in 2015.

According to People, Kardashian was paying for a caretaker and chef for Odom at the time. However, she decided she was going to stop “putting her life on hold to take care of him” when she caught him doing drugs again. "Once you know the smell of crack, it's the most identifiable, disgusting smell, and there's nothing that you can confuse it with,” she said. “And I remember stopping by the house and I smelled crack."

She went on to say, "I remember slowly tiptoeing up the stairs, he was in his bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed, smoking crack, and I just punched him in his face.”

She also stated she was under the impression he didn’t have a phone during this period. However, she realized that was not the truth. "He was playing me so I could continue this lifestyle for him," she recalled. "I said, 'By Monday you need to be out of this house, I'm done, I'm not paying for a thing and I never want to speak to you again.'"

Kardashian and Odom were married for seven years. They tied the knot in 2009, only 30 days after meeting. In 2011, they debuted a reality series called Khloé & Lamar that lasted two seasons. Kardashian filed to dissolve the marriage in December 2013, but it was not finalized until December 2016 since they spent some time trying to mend the relationship.

The Death & Life of Lamar Odom premieres on March 31.
