Kylie and Kendall Jenner were “sheltered” by Khloe Kardashian from the truth of her and Lamar Odom’s split. Because Kylie, 27, and Kendall, 29, were so young and looked up to Lamar, the 40-year-old singer, who divorced from the former NBA player in 2013 and finalized their divorce in 2016 due to his drug difficulties, has explained why she didn’t tell her sisters the whole reason of their breakup.
“I didn’t want to ruin that for them and I just wanted to preserve as much of their innocence as I could,” Khloe stated in an interview with “The Kardashians.” Khloe and Kylie discussed her dramatic reunion with Lamar earlier in the series during this week’s season six conclusion of the reality show.
“You withheld a lot from us, but in a positive way because we were so young,” Kendall remarked. I didn’t anticipate much more because it was rated R. However, the fact that Kylie and I don’t really know anything about it makes it intriguing.
“I feel like he really was a huge part of the family and like a big brother to me,” her sister said, concurring. We had a humorous and foolish relationship.
During their first meeting in the nine years following the divorce, Kendall thought back to how Khloe was “shut off.”
“It wasn’t that you were being obviously mean or rude,” she said to Khloe. “It was just like, are you think people are going to judge the way you handle it?” Or are you just more cautious? I’m not sure.
Kendall acknowledged in a confessional that she saw “a coldness” in Khloe’s interactions with Lamar. She stated: “I still see such animosity and it’s almost like a wall, there’s definitely a coldness,” she said. It must be anger. I have no doubt that there are numerous explanations for this.
Khloe said she felt “really anxious without [her] even noticing it” as she thought back on the reunion. “The tardiness, the perspiration, things that might be triggers for me,” she clarified. I simply thought, “I have to get through this.”
“Perhaps because I’m so accustomed to people picking on the smallest gesture I make, I don’t want anyone to read too much into this because it’s not like that, but a lot of it is also a defense mechanism that I just am like — be a b****.”
