Khloe Kardashian’s Cringeworthy Reunion with Lamar Odom: Fans Call It “The Most Awkward TV Moment Ever”
The Kardashians’ Awkward TV Moment: Khloe Reunites with Lamar Odom
Hulu's sixth season of The Kardashians has sparked controversy, with fans calling it "the most awkward ten minutes of TV ever." The show featured an unexpected reunion between Khloe Kardashian and her ex-husband, Lamar Odom, nine years after his near-fatal overdose.
Khloe and Lamar’s Past Relationship
Khloe and Lamar’s love story began with a whirlwind romance, leading to their marriage in 2009, just one month after meeting. Their relationship was highly publicized through Keeping Up With the Kardashians and their spin-off series Khloe & Lamar. However, behind the cameras, their marriage was filled with challenges, including Lamar’s struggles with substance abuse.
In 2013, Khloe filed for divorce following Lamar’s DUI arrest, but legal proceedings stalled. In 2015, he was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel, leaving him in a coma. Khloe put the divorce on hold to help with his recovery before officially finalizing it in 2016.

The Unexpected Reunion
In the season six premiere, Khloe’s best friend Malika Haqq reveals she ran into Lamar at the Super Bowl. This prompts Khloe to return some of his personal belongings, including his 6th Man of the Year Award. Malika takes the initiative to set up a meeting between the former couple.
Lamar arrives at Khloe’s house with flowers, cake, and champagne but appears visibly nervous and sweaty. When he tries to sit close to Khloe, she immediately jokes, “You’re going to sit this close?” forcing him to move over.
The conversation turns nostalgic as Lamar asks about Rob Kardashian and playfully mentions that he once thought Malika and Rob would end up together.

Emotional Moments and Lamar’s Regrets
During their conversation, Lamar admits, “I haven’t seen you in so long, you make me nervous.” Khloe reminds him their last meeting was in 2016 when she was "kicking him out of the Calabasas house."

Fan Reactions and Show Criticism
The reunion scene left fans feeling uncomfortable. Viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their thoughts, with one writing, "This conversation between Khloe & Lamar is so awkward & he is sweating so much." Another added, "Lamar put Khloe through so much. That scene was painful to watch."
Khloe may be at peace with all this, but damn the editors got us all in our feelings again with these Koko + Lam Lam montages. Khloe & Lamar was one of the best spinoffs they had. Their chemistry, his relationship with Rob, iykyk ????????????????#TheKardashians pic.twitter.com/B939n08tx1
