Kardashian also revealed what she was paid for appearing in Netflix's The Death and Life of Lamar Odom.
Khloé Kardashiansays she rescuedLamar Odoma second time when she agreed to appear in his Netflix documentary, even though it was "traumatic" to relive the dark chapter of her life — and now she's "pissed" she even wasted her time.
Untold: The Death and Life of Lamar Odom, which dropped on March 31, documents the NBA champion's 2015 near-fatal overdose and the four months it took him to recover, as he relearned how to walk and talk. All throughout this time, his estranged wife was by his side.
And as the documentary reveals, ultimately Kardashian realized, "He was better than I knew. He was playing me so I can continue this lifestyle for him."
But now, she says Odom’srecent commentsdownplaying her role in his recuperation have only added insult to injury. "Yeah, she took care of me," he said onToday with Jenna & Sheinelle, "but God took care of me the most." In the same interview, Odom also questioned Kardashian's claim that his father Joe wanted to pull the plug while he was in a coma.
Kardashian is firing back on the latest episode of her podcast,Khloé in Wonder Land.
"Hell yeah, I was pissed," she vents to her best friend Malika Haqq. "Now, Lamar is doing press insinuating I'm a liar. You're not now gonna s--- on me because you don't like the reaction and the response [to the documentary]."
Kardashian says she was initially hesitant to get involved in the documentary because she was protective of Odom. "I don't really want to go down this road if it's negative. He's been through enough negative s---." However, his team assured her, "It's going to be really positive. [Lamar's] the one doing it, he's the one asking."

Still, she had reservations. "I'm not getting paid one penny to do this. I have no dog in this fight," Kardashian explained to Haqq. "It doesn't matter to me if this documentary is made or not made. I don't care. And it's also not something I really want to talk about anymore… It wasn't the best time of my life. I had best-time moments, but it's not like, 'Let’s rehash the dark stuff all over again.'"
Ultimately, she decided to do it as a favor to Odom. "What turned me was Netflix reaching out again saying they can't finish it without me," Kardashian explained. "I didn't want to do that to Lamar. So I was like, 'Okay, he deserves this.'"
As Kardashian explains, she wasn’t seeking "credit" for anything she did to help Odom during his months of recovery. "All I did was tell the story that I was asked by [Odom] to tell." So now for him to discredit her "is crazy," she told Haqq. "I feel played."

She said it was also hurtful to hear Odom and his friends say that he only married her for fame.
"That's like some f---ed up s- - -. I feel so dumb," she confessed. "I spent hours and time doing this documentary as a favor. I'm not paid one penny."
