The Real Reason Khloe & Lamar Almost Never Happened

Publish date: 2024-06-12

Khloe Kardashian and her famous family have not only brought us one of the most iconic reality shows ever in Keeping Up With the Kardashians, but they brought us several fun spin-offs, too.

We've watched Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, then Kourtney and Kim Take New York, and then Khloe and Kourtney Take The Hamptons, just to name a few, but many fans argue that nothing touched their hearts quite like Khloe & Lamar.

But this particular Kardashian spin-off almost didn't happy because Khloe originally was not interested; she told The Hollywood Reporter, "I never wanted to do Khloe & Lamar; my ex-husband did." She continued to explain that while then-husband Lamar Odom was the one who pushed for it, she's the one who ultimately canceled it. She said, "He has his career, but he really fought for it. I said, 'You have to go into E! and promise them that you have the time.' He sold it, and I let it happen because I wanted him to be happy, but I was the one who canceled it. It was way too much."

And by the time season 2 finished airing, it did seem like way too much was indeed happening. Lamar had just been traded to the Dallas Mavericks from the LA Lakers and had been involved in a car crash that killed his cousin. Khloe decided then that the show needed to go on hiatus, but it never returned.
