Former Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom, no stranger to controversy, has once again found himself at the center of a bizarre and unsettling story. During a recent visit to Las Vegas to celebrate his birthday, Odom made a surprising stop at the RealDoll sex toy facility, where he was reportedly captivated by their merchandise.
What followed was a decision that has sparked plenty of discussion: Odom ordered a custom-made, life-like adult doll resembling his ex-wife, Khloe Kardashian.
According to TMZ Sports, Odom specifically requested the doll to be modeled after Kardashian, complete with her distinctive “voluptuous curves.” The RealDoll company is known for creating highly detailed and customizable adult dolls, with prices ranging from $8,000 to $20,000. Odom’s purchase, however, was reportedly made at a discounted rate.
Gina Rodriguez, Odom’s manager, told TMZ that Odom had seen an advertisement for the dolls several months ago and had “instantly” decided he needed one. The choice to have it resemble Kardashian was apparently a deliberate decision, with Rodriguez adding that Odom selected Khloe’s model “because he can do whatever he wants with her sexually.”
The statement has drawn criticism online, with many expressing discomfort over the implications of such a purchase.

Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian were married in September 2009, but their relationship soon became troubled. By 2013, they had separated amid allegations of Odom’s infidelity and struggles with substance abuse.
Though their divorce was initially finalized in 2015, it was temporarily put on hold when Odom suffered a near-fatal overdose that left him in a coma. Kardashian supported him through his recovery, but ultimately refiled for divorce in 2016, citing concerns over his continued alcohol consumption.
Following their split, Khloe Kardashian began a high-profile relationship with NBA player Tristan Thompson, with whom she had two children. However, their relationship was also plagued by reports of infidelity and inconsistencies, ultimately ending in December 2021.
The news of Odom’s purchase has gone viral, sparking significant backlash and raising questions about his motivations and mental state.
Many fans have expressed sympathy for Kardashian, who has yet to publicly address the situation. Given the highly personal and, for many, unsettling nature of Odom’s actions, it’s understandable that Kardashian might prefer to stay silent on the matter.
Odom’s choice to buy a doll resembling his ex-wife has certainly added another chapter to his history of controversial decisions.
The purchase has fueled conversations not just about his continued fixation on Kardashian, but also about the broader issues of objectification and boundaries.
As public figures, both Odom and Kardashian have had much of their private lives scrutinized in the media, and this latest episode serves as yet another reminder of how fame can sometimes blur the lines between reality and spectacle.
