Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are technically married – still! – though she now hopes to make quick work of that in the wake of this week’s run-in.
The couple finally took steps to finalize their divorce this summer – they separated in 2013 – but the court has yet to finish processing their divorce.
Khloe wants the court to finalize the split ASAP, but the backlog of cases can mean waiting two or three months from their July 17 filing date.
Yes, it’s a technicality, but the Khlomar marriage is legally intact until it’s not, and that may be adding to an already emotional situation for all involved.
Earlier this week, TMZ reported that Lamar ambushed Khloe in a parking lot, and that she ordered him not to touch her as she high-tailed it inside.
An angry Odom denied stalking Karadshian the following day, claiming he was being hung out to dry by his estranged wife – and the news media.
He wouldn’t comment on what they were talking about – and neither has she – but Odom insists the meeting was pre-arranged, not an "ambush."
Insiders say Khloe dating James Harden – with whom she was seen just 24 hours later – could be a big reason why the ex-NBA player is so heated.
Yes, Lamar has his own demons to confront, but as he sees it, he’s being unjustly portrayed as the lone bad guy here, and humiliated to boot.
“He feels like Khloe’s betraying him. She’s hooking up with James and that’s bothering him,” a source close to Lamar revealed earlier today.
“Secondly, he’s hurt that she’s taking James to all her family functions like Kylie (Jenner’s) birthday and special family events."
"He still feels very connected to he Kardashians and seeing another man replace him is killing him softly. He was again trying to save their marriage.”
If that’s true, it could explain why he was so emotionally charged in the interviews above, though it clearly didn’t work out as he might have hoped.
Khloe is so paranoid after the run-in with Lamar outside her SoulCycle class, she’s taking all measures to make sure he can’t get in touch with her.
“She’s throwing out her phones, changing passwords, freaking out,” a source says, though they won’t speculate on the source of the tension either.
Whatever it is, it’s not pretty. Stay tuned.
