In the new Netflix docuseries The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, The Kardashians star revealed that she "punched" Lamar after catching him doing drugs.

Khloé, who was married to Lamar for seven years, took care of the ex-NBA player after he was found unconscious at a brothel in 2015 and even rented a home for him during his recovery.

Per People, The Good American co-founder recalled, "Once you know the smell of crack, it's the most identifiable, disgusting smell, and there's nothing that you can confuse it with.
