One of the most important records of Khloe Kardashian‘s story reportedly sat in the private journals she kept during her marriage to Lamar Odom and the years that followed — journals that her ex allegedly burned. Now, sources claim that those journals held much more than just memories. In that, they were also tied to plans the media personality had silently set for what could have come next.
Khloe Kardashian’s ex Lamar Odom burning journals had ‘personal’ and ‘lasting’ impact, says source
Khloe Kardashian recently spoke on her “Khloe In Wonder Land” podcast about a painful moment from her past, explaining that her ex, Lamar Odom, burned her journals in front of her during a period when he struggled with addiction and paranoia. She shared that the incident ended her relationship with journaling and changed the way she thought about holding onto keepsakes.
But an insider told OK! Magazine, “Khloe had spoken about turning them into the foundation of a deeply personal film, something far removed from reality television or branding.” Moreover, they claimed, “The idea was to use her own words, written in real time, to tell a much grittier and more truthful version of her life than anything she had ever shown publicly.”
Kardashian and Odom got married in 2009 after a whirlwind romance, when he played for the Los Angeles Lakers. Their marriage later unraveled amid Odom’s drug addiction, and Kardashian filed for divorce in 2013, pausing proceedings in 2015, and then finalized the split in 2016.
Another insider explained, “This was not just the destruction of personal items.” They claimed, “The diaries captured Khloe’s unfiltered inner life and the beginnings of a creative vision she wanted to own. Watching them be burned meant losing an archive of her own experiences, along with the chance to translate that history into a story told entirely on her own terms. The impact was lasting.”
The journals were proof of what happened and what Khloe Kardashian might have one day told in her own voice. So, sources say losing that record still stings her every now and then.
